90 Day Challenge: Time for a do over!

Well, my intentions of practicing Mandarin Chinese for 90 days straight has failed.  It is difficult for me to write that considering how well I was doing for awhile.  I made it through Pimsleur I in its entirety, and then completed 18 lessons of Pimsleur II before the my train of language learning came to a screeching halt.   Actually, that is not entirely true.  I continued to work on Memrise and even started doing Anki as well.

I think that this was my problem.

I should have stuck to the plan and done Memrise and Pimsleur only, but instead I started changing things up, add more into the mix.  This was a recipe for disaster because the workload became to great.  The motivation started to go away as well because I am just too nervous to ever speak in Mandarin!

So what now?

Pickup where I left off and keep going.  That is the only thing that I can do.

Wish me luck!
