I don't know why I found Harris hard. Perhaps the vocabulary was just so different from HP and the other books I had read previously.
Percy Jackson is quite a good children's retelling of the Greek myths. I don't think it's super interesting - though 100x better than the books. Personally I find HP also boring, but it was worth reading to get my German to a certain level. I am surprised you find Game of Thrones difficult. I haven't read it in German, but I've flipped through it and found it fairly straightforward. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Not difficult like "I can't understnand this and that, help!". Just slower and more attention requiring than many other books. It took me awhile to get to my usual reading speed. And I comment on English ASoIaF, no clue about the German translation so far. My German has been rotting for a while, I'll need to ressurect it and progress a bit before reading.

First entry from Spain!!!!!
Everything is great, the people at the lab are really nice and helpful, I understand really well but I need to speak more. I've been through quite a varied sample of situations with my Spanish and I am better than I had thought but far from perfection. I'm writing a diary in Spanish (I' gonna write a new entry as soon as I close the forums) and you're all gonna have the pleasure to see all my funny mistakes and ,hopefully, some progress as my month here progresses. Before I left, I forgot to add these to the SC counting bot, log AND my personal wordpad log in my computer. Right now, I am far from the computer and just with my tablet so I can do most things except for getting the file from my computer from afar (and I cannot let anyone see it!!! So noone can assist me) and handling photos. The sc update: Ascr: fr: movies +2 le roi scorpion and iron man 3. Yeah, i know none of them is original and i had decided to prefer originals etc etc Sc Spanish: movies +0,5 (50 minutes i believe) s02e01 of los demonios de da vinci. Hay solamente la version latinoamericana en el sitio que utilizo y no me gusta tanto. Compndo pero las voces no son tan amables. Que dificil es cambiar las lenguas todo el tiempo! Hay gente que utiliza el ingles conmigo (no los nativos, los estudiantes extranjeros como yo pero que no hablan el espanol) y una checa! Prefiero quedar en mi espanol non-perfecto. One last thing. Anyone has an idea what to do with anki. Not wanting to make a new deck for me? I did it the logical way, clicked on add deck button and nothing happened.

Have fun in Spain. I think it's my favorite country in Europe - at least for food, people, weather, architecture etc. Not sure about the politics. How long are you there?

A month. The weathe has been quite the same (rainy) as in Prague so far. The north is different from the
most turistic areas, more "real" :-D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So far I haven't been disappointed even in the tourist areas: Madrid; Barcelona, A Coruña. I would love to have a holiday this year, but I've just moved and will have to wait until next year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
