Wow, that is excellent. I agree that you are definitely doing better than average for this stage. I agree with WPG that you may find that the rate of improvement could slow down (since you have had such a big result in the first week) and not to get too disappointed or frustrated if that happens. You can't go too far wrong with what you are already doing with the audio practice.
