What do you think is the best way to schedule time for studying on Rocket french? thanks

I'm not doing Rocket French, but Rocket Chinese - what my plan right now is to do a lesson a week for at least an hour a day. This is at least until I get further into my learning and once then I might do a lesson every other day or something.

But right now it's once a week to help make sure I have time to learn each lesson.

Thanks Dionna,

Great to get your message. Do you mean an hour a day, each day or 1 hour once a week on the day that you do the lesson? That sounds like a reasonable way to get started. But someone mentioned that repetition is the key and a few minutes every day is better than an hour once a week. I guess, really, it would be better to do an hour a day. I am trying to free up some time in my schedule starting maybe the end of march. I think now I am in the preparation, organization mode. I have to get my mind around the decision to get started again studying french and just set aside the time. I am thinking an hour, the same hour of the day, M - F, would work best for me. If I try for only 15 minutes, I am sure not to do anything because it takes me 15 minutes just to pull out the computer and remember where I left off. If I set aside an hour a day, it will probably mean that I actually study 30 minutes of the time. Progress not perfection....Mary

I'm studying for at least one hour each day every day. That time doesn't include the time it takes me to set up my computer or anything. Once I start studying then that's when the hour starts.

Then once I'm further into the program (I'm only on 1.5) then I might do a new lesson a day or every other day.
