Prudie - I'm motivated by the fact that we're going to Italy for our holidays this summer. I try to do a little bit each night, the lessons are in 10 or 15 minute bites, so they're not too long, but I usually get quite into it and can easily do 30-60 minutes. You can go back over previous lessons if you're not sure about something or just want to improve your score. I was never very good at languages at school, and I do find that I 'get it' about 2 or 3 stages later! So I sometimes go back over the older stuff. I am enjoying doing it, and have already found it useful when I was checking some things out over t'internet for the holiday and understood things I wouldn't have had a clue about before.
