2013 was a bad year for language learning. I got lazy and neglected German studies for
most of the year. My only saving grace was a Deutsch Welle Learn German feed on my
facebook so at least I was getting a *little* practice in in 2013. It is time to wipe
the slate clear and refocus efforts on Deutsch.
I've had a few days of getting in the German flow. Mostly on DW website, listening to
'langsame gesprochene Nachricht' and 'Wort der Woche'. I have a Sentence Builder
grammar book that I'm working through also. Aiming for a chapter every two days.
After the re-training, I'm hoping to get an (german) audio book and book combination
and do some extensive listening.
All the best to the language teams in 2014!

I have the German radio going at work. auf-deutschlandradio-de.219.de.html">Deutschland Rundfunk
I am too busy to listening to it actively for a long time. I just tune in and out as the
opportunities arise. The station is very dialouge based which is great. The main station
channel and DRadio Wissen are great.
I got this recommendation from Fasculye last year but am only trying it out now.

Einfach großartig!!
Letting my German lapse in 2013 has one major advantage:
I have a major backlog of Lindenstrasse to get through!
Now on Folge 1447.

Welcome to team Spaß. I look forward to reading about your progress. I have watched a few episodes of
Lindenstrasse in the past as well, but haven't become hooked yet. It's hard to commit the time. Enjoy...

Danke BAnna. Ich habe schon dein Log gelesen, und du kannst sehr gut Deutsch schreiben.
Ich bin beeindruckt. Deshalb habe ich auf Deutsch beantwortet. Ich hoffe, dass du nicht
dagegen hast.
Ich bin gerne bei Team Spaß, und freue mich auf unsere gemeinsame Verbesserungen!
Naja, Lindenstrasse ist nicht gerade modern oder schnelllebig. Ich wuerde nicht die
Show anschauen, wenn die auf Englisch war. Ich kann jedoch die Plots leicht folgen und
die Folgen haben Untertiteln zur Verfuegung. Untertiteln finde ich praktisch, wenn ich
faul bin.
