I haven't had any time to learn this week, but I did try to watch news in my target language. Understood 20% for sure and the rest, well not so sure about the rest.

Also: sorry for not replying to your messages lately in weekly threads. I read them all, but get caught up with holiday stuff before I can properly write an answer.

I managed a few more pages of my manga in German. It's slow going when I'm not on the train to work with some spare time.

I did manage some more good small social interactions. Still need serious work on basics there.

Got complimented on my pronunciation by an IKEA staff member. The grammar was terrible, though.

I did make it through several banking menus and even some phone based help in German. Someday I'll manage to be more comfortable with the flow of the language, I know it.
