Napoleon, I just now noticed that you said you could talk to your father and could communicate. I know I am in the minority here on this board, only
speaking one language! But being able to communicate in another language is a thrill! It makes me want to push ahead with my Spanish and be able to
communicate on a deeper level! Keep up the good work! You will soon be able to speak French! :-)

The sooner the better. LOL :)

Although he remembers some phrases from his days in Africa, my father doesn't speak French. But he has many francophone friends. I hope to practise my French (over Skype) with them soon.

Just watched the first episode of Lilyhammer. It's like the Sopranos.
A New York mafiosi testifies agianst his boss and is placed in FBI's Witness Protection programme. To escape his past, he moves to a small town in Norway and starts a new life...

I have watched the first 13 episodes of Pokemon (Season 1).


I've also watched the first episode of Planète Terre (another series that emk recommended). The stunning visuals more than compensated for my less than stunning comprehension. :)

I just played another episode of Pokemon and noticed an immediate jump in comprehension (compared to Lilyhammer). I can follow cartoons a lot better than regular TV shows, but I guess that's to be expected.

Anyway, till now I've watched around 33 hours of French TV.

Pokemon Season 1 upto Episode 30
P.S.
I wasn't able to access the forum yesterday. Today, I used a workaround emk had tweeted and was finally able to log in.
What a fright it has been! I have taken backups of both my language logs.

First of All, Shubho Noboborsho!

Are you seeing the Pokemon series without subtitles? If so, then you are worth being
congratulated for!

I just came back today after 4 days, surviving the pain of seeing the beloved forum down.
