Drill the contrast between indefinido and imperfecto by rewriting ten short narrative paragraphs, marking each verb form and justifying the choice in writing.
Set up an error log spreadsheet with columns for date, domain, error type, corrected form, and review date.
Your checkpoint
A completed diagnostic error log plus a 120-entry personal vocabulary sheet with example sentences.
Sprachliche Mittel (Wortschatz und Grammatik) & Hörverstehen / Hörsehverstehen
