As a very wonderful, wonderful, wonderful person shared this in another thread, I wanted to bring it over here. This site has tons of subs available in lots of languages. (Granted, you need to find the video to go with them, but that's not too hard.)

Podnapisi and
Prijevodi

This opens up a lot more doors for me for Croatian, so I'm super happy. I imagine it will be useful for a number of you.

I'd still rather listen to my TL and have subs in English, but beggars can't be choosers. :D

EDIT: I accidentally put this in the wrong thread, and I can't delete it anymore. If anyone who CAN wants to move it to the original Super Challenge thread, please do. :D

CHALLENGE: HALF SUPER DUPER(50 FILMS, 50 BOOKS, 50 30 MINUTE CONVERSATIONS)
Wait, so half duper is 50x writing/conversation, not 100?


Well yes and no.
I suspect a half super duper should be 50 films, 50 books, 50 conversations and 50 writings - but you could opt for 'writing only' or 'conversation only'.

But, until Phil/Surrealix gets back from his academic work the twitterbot doesn't yet accept the infinite variants of the challenge possibilities.... just sign up and "fill your boots".

@Solfrid - you are really really barmy in the nicest way possible!
I might have to consider Russian (revision) as well now. Errmmm or Arabic.
I am not going to do both. I think



Edit for afterthoughts!
yeah, had to sign up for super duper with German. intend to change it to half duper, but i might not :D

Mowli, just FYI: "If you want to use podcasts or audiobooks, 1 hour and a half is the equivalence of 1 film."

Ah, sorry I'll fix it the next time I post. I think I thought one hour and a half and then took half an hour and a quarter, to much work I guess. Sorry again!

Nothing to report. I'm starting to think I wont have time at all. I was hoping to finish the last 3 chapters of the first harry potter tomorrow but they called me in to work. Perhaps I'll be able to finish it between tonight and the bus rides tomorrow.

Finished "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury translated in German.

This book was much harder than "Hunger Games", I think mainly because translation is from 1970s and many words are not so popular nowadays and I haven't heard/read them before.

I decided to stick with more modern literature (pulp fiction and books for young adults) while I reach a bit advanced level.
Right now I'm listening to audiobook "Tod Eines Lehrers" by Andreas Franz, and I think as next book I'll take something from his works.

I also stopped to log audio books as movies to twitter bot. My challenge will be about movies (series) and books. I'll continue to listen to audio books just without logging them.
