Okay, so the last few days I've been focusing on the same set of fifty flash cards, because they're new and I'm not very familiar with them yet. I'm making progress, though, and with every run-through (these being separated by between eight and twelve hours) I'm getting more familiar with the new vocabulary, three or four words at a shot. I also read through as I was listening to سورة الفتح (al Fath, "Victory"/"Conquest") yesterday, and tried to pick words out as I went; however, I wasn't looking at the Arabic text at the same time, so I didn't get that benefit out of it. Either this weekend or next week, I want to practice that method (listening to and reading both the Arabic and the English texts) for the next sura, سورة الحجرات (al Hujurat, "The Chambers"). Assuming that next week isn't the colossal crap fest that this week was with the holiday, I'm hoping to spend half an hour of one evening doing one of the readings out of the Quran, and half an hour on another evening doing one of the lessons out of the book. The plan is to keep up with the cards, too.
I'd just like to reiterate that I absolutely loathe holiday weeks. They're worthless, you never really get caught up until it's all over. Ugh. At least I'm making progress.
