10/01/08
Morning
German
Read Moderner Antisemitismus at Deutsche Welle. I'd planned on making a list of any unknown words, but only ran into one, mitschuldig. ~5 minutes.
Started working my way through Clown- und Humortherapie at Deutsche Welle. It's an Alltagsdeutsch article, so it's much longer than a Top Thema article. It also has a lot of actual speech in it, so the vocabulary and grammar is a bit more complicated than in a "standard" news article. ~20 minutes.
Relistened to:
Kein Platz für Atommüll
Zum Zahnarzt nach Ungarn
Berlusconi und die Liebe
Listened to (for the first time):
Freie Sicht auf Nackte (Deutsche Welle article; haven't yet read it). I understood the vast majority of it.
First 14 minutes of Schlaflos in München podcast, episode #473. I understood about half of it. I don't think it's an issue with my vocabulary, but rather, the ability for me to parse speech quickly. She speaks much faster than the speakers on the Deutsche Welle podcasts, and so I find myself struggling to "keep up."
Total time for listening this morning: ~23 minutes.
Afternoon
French
Assimil French with Ease - Relistened to Lessons 15-20. ~12 minutes.
Russian
Assimil Russisch ohne Mühe - Relistened to Lessons 1-6. I've forgotten a few of the words, so I'll need to go back review the text. ~12 minutes.
German
Listened to the rest of Schlaflos in München #473. ~16 minutes.
Evening
Russian
Assimil Russisch ohne Mühe - Reread Lessons 1-7. ~40 minutes.
