UPDATE - Added French book 1
BOOKS (French) 1. Le Petit Prince FILMS, ETC. (French) 1. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly FILMS, ETC. (Dutch) 1. Naar Het Middlepunt Der Aarde (audiobook) 2. Naar Het Middlepunt Der Aarde (audiobook) 3. Naar Het Middlepunt Der Aarde (audiobook) 4. Naar Het Middlepunt Der Aarde (audiobook) Finished Le Petit Prince, marking my first ever French book (also first non-Germanic language book, FWIW). I'll have to read it again later after I improve. It seemed pretty interesting, but there were big stretches where I'd get confused as to what exactly was going on. Still working on various HP in Dutch, French, and German (to provide context for reading the French). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

LANGUAGE: Mandarin
CHALLENGE: 100 books, 100 movies (it seems an unreachable goal, though!) CURRENT LEVEL: No idea, but not higher than B1 (more like A2 on a good day) COMMENTS: As I wrote somewhere else, I probably have ~100 movies in my own collection (+at least four tv series without subtitles), but my "reading" won't be more advanced than the simplest children's books I can find at the library. And I'll have to read them over and over again to reach the magic number 100. Current status: two children's books (with a lot of pictures), and three episodes of 醉拳张三. I'm going to write more detailed updates in my Mandarin log. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Update Weeks 1 & 2
Films 1.La Piovra:Seasons 1,2&3- Excellent crime based drama on the Mafia underworld. (1053 minutes- oh gosh).Watched with ENG subtitles 2.RAI News broadcasts - Excellent resource for listening to Italian news,and also shows the regional Italian news which is good for getting an ear for the different regional accents when people are being interviewed.(85 minutes) Books 1.I mille volti di Diabolik (The many faces of Diabolik)-Comic book based on the fictional jewellery thief Diabolik.It was 489 pages,but as it was in comic format,it was very hard for me to classify.(I'll put it down as 1 book) Edited by sekard on 14 May 2012 at 10:44pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

prz-I find the news more helpful than the actual Tv series i've been watching,but haven't got the attention span to listen to the news for a prolonged period of time.You've done well if you've watched that much news in 2 weeks.I'd watch more if i could.
