I'll add all this up later.
Working on listening comprehension: 1. Buffy contre les vampires, saison 1, épisode 1 (x 2) 2. Buffy contre les vampires, saison 1, épisode 2 (x 2) 3. Buffy contre les vampires, saison 1, épisode 3 (x 2) 4. Buffy contre les vampires, saison 1, épisode 4 (with lots of rewinding) Conversation: 180 minutes with tutor (DELF prep) 150 minutes at a French gathering 60+ minutes on Skype ...plus several times all that at home If we're counting half-hour units, that's 6 + 5 + 2 + a whole bunch. I think I'm going to stop counting conversation. Not much point. Reading: Working on Vol, Vapeur, Vengeance on the Kindle but I still have a ways to go. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I took a cue from some of you, and tried watching Game of Thrones in French. I
usually hate dubbing, but this really worked. It's actually quite easy to follow, and since I'm just starting the series I don't have any preconceptions on how the characters are supposed to sound. What I really like is that the language used is not fancy - it is squarely in the B-1 framework. Sometimes the language in French movies is too casual & I can't catch what they're saying even with subtitles to help me. Although ... I've never tried a French movie using French subtitles. Maybe I'll do that tonight. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have to finish my Harry Potter in Czech, finally...
As for now, watched: - first free episodes of Столичани в Повече - I can wholeheartedly recommend it. - Love.net - They are waiting - one-reel movie In spe: - Столичани в Повече S01, E04 etc... - Zift - this time it won't be a pure pleasure due to the subject matter. At least my friend has warned me against it. Edited by prz_ on 11 May 2012 at 12:33am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

UPDATE
Over the past couple of days, I finished my first book and watched a couple more movies. Das Wunder von Narnia (The Magician’s Nephew) was a good book to start with since the language in it is easy, at about 170 pages it wasn't too long, and I was already familiar with the story, which is more interesting than most written for pre-teens. I really enjoyed the movie Der Amerikanische Freund (The American Friend), which was a sort of artsy thriller starring Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper. Every time I've ever seen Bruno Ganz in anything, I thought he did a really good job. The movie was directed by Wem Winders. There was a great deal of English spoken in this film besides a lot of German and a little French. However, since it was over two hours long and I watched around 40 minutes of deleted scenes and the original trailer too, I've decided to count it as a full film for German. Beyond this, I watched The Sound of Music dubbed in German, which seemed appropriate since it’s set in Austria. I've been reading a few other books too, but have got a ways to go on them still. RUNNING TOTAL: German (Half) Books: 1. Die Chroniken von Narnia: Das Wunder von Narnia (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew) – C.S. Lewis Films: 1. Die Feuerzangenbowle (1944) 2. Nazi-Diplomatie Intern: Das Auswärtige Amt in der Ära Ribbentrop / Hitlers Helfer: Joseph Goebbels - Der Brandstifter 3. Herr Lehmann (2003) 4. Der Amerikanische Freund (1977) (+ trailer and deleted scenes) 5. The Sound of Music (dubbed in German) Italian (Half) Books: Partial book Films: 1. Correva l’anno: Processo di Norimberga - Joachim von Ribbentrop / Correva l'anno: La Seconda Guerra Mondiale - I medici del Reich Spanish (Half) Books: Partial book Films: 0 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I had to look this one up, since that's my name. It turns out there's a book as well, and one reviewer said:
