What lesson pattern do you use?

How should I handle which lessons to read at any given time? Should I pick the one I’ve read already with the most LingQs or a completely new one with a high count of unknown words? How do you all select which material is best for you at a certain time?

In the beginning stages of a Language, I think its best to keep tackling new content as much as possible well occasionally going to back to lessons you have already went through (specifically lessons you had a lot of trouble with the first time around) Also continually listening to old and new content.
However, If you are learning for example a Language that is a Category 4 or 5. I would revisit older lessons much more frequently, and spend a little less time trying to tackle new content. But I say all that to say this.
For me at least, I have found that there is no perfect formula. Do whatever you feel motivates you the most and the language will come. I hope I at least semi answered your question. Also i’m curious what other peoples opinion is on this. :slight_smile:

Thank you for your reply. I’m in the B1 stage of German and am making the transition to B2. I was worried if me reading new articles was in vain if I forgot the words by not going back and rereading eventually. I’m reassured by “stay active and the language will come,” this requires patience, of which I am growing in. May God bless you in your language pursuits!

I don’t agree, v.v. in the begginning stages I read what I already have read in my native language, and then I just stick to the author (stephen king in my case), because all authors usually have their own limited word-stock, so it’s easy
And after 15-20 books of one author I felt comfortable to pick up any book of any author and read it without struggle, though the very first one was hard to go through
