Learning process awareness

Some of you have express you're feeling that last year you were learning more and this year you're not learning that much. Well, in the learning process, in order to acquire the next level, those described in
The Common European Framework of Reference, you'll need double the time you invested in the previous year. So be aware that, in order to learn as much as you did last year, you'll basically have to study more hours.
I've attached two documents that explain this idea. One is from the Cambridge University, the other from the Cervantes Institute. In the second document, pay attention to question number 3, in how many years they divide each level, and the hours each year would consist of.
All my point is that, in the intermediate level it's important to be aware of this not to get discouraged.
