Level 2 - Frustration with verb tenses
I'm now up to Session 20 in Level 2. Having already gone through the program up to Level 4 several years ago and then letting it all lapse, I knew that the big wall for me was going to arrive in this level. I cannot believe the difficulties I am having getting present and preterit tenses sorted. I was doing fine with present tense, but once the past tense was introduced, it became a muddle. I have made charts, I am doing flashcards over and over. I'm concerned about proceeding to Level 3 until I become 100% with these two tenses for the verbs introduced. Any suggestions? Commiserations? I do not live in a Spanish-speaking country, so practicing is really up to me to do, no immersion available. I think it would help me even if all anyone did was say "Yeah, I feel your pain, getting those conjugations down is hard!!!" But any hints or tips for mastering this would be very welcome.
