Finally finished https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=wbjrbK-mFkM 《16 個夏天》許瑋甯｜談談心｜女人迷 Interview with Xu Weining on self-confidence, self-reliance and achieving goals for women. Also a plug for her latest movie 16 summers. One needs a lot more understanding of cultural background to get the full flavor of this clip, because on a word by word translation level you will definitely come away confused.

Continuation of yesterday's video.

Continued with 2nd third of https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=61&v=wbjrbK-mFkM【 人物故事 】《16 個夏天》許瑋甯｜談談心｜女人迷 I'm trying match up what the text is and what the woman is saying. The impression I get is that she can say about 4 characters in one syllable. e.g., 我们两个 becomes something like "mg". I guess I do the same thing in English. But it's truly wondrous how humans can express what's going on in their brains.

FluentU text to https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=44&v=wbjrbK-mFkM 【 人物故事 】《16 个夏天》许玮宁｜谈谈心｜女人迷 Actress Xu Weining on Soulmates - I could only do about a third of this video - difficult to figure out exactly what she is saying, but get a general sense. I could be completely mistaken. For example, is she talking about a girl's first kiss or the first time she kissed a girl. That's a big difference. 我的第一次女生的初吻献给了她。

FluentU Text to https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=14&v=CN1rmN9_tsk 最想去的國家 - 符瓊音 Fu Qiong Yi - The country I most want to visit - A very impressionistic monologue that doesn't fit linear, organized thought process. I couldn't tell if was the Chinese grammar or the vagueness of her impressions that made it hard for me to understand. But I was attracted to her fresh spontaneous personality whatever she was trying to say.

It never ceases to amaze me how many characters I can recognize and still not understand a text. It feels like reading a secret code. And then, when you see the translation the words all fall into place in precise meaningful phrases. It feels like it's going to be a very long process before I get the hang of this.

For this challenge, I'll be using FluentU to read the intermediate level scripts for Youtube videos. The videos are about 5 mins long, and I will play them several times so that I can read the characters (and understand) at the same speed as the video. I'll do one video per day. Today's video is a music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=3uIbahu_S6s 來吧！焙焙！──〈全世界我最喜歡你（可是你都不知道）〉Come on, baby! In the whole world I love you the most, but you don't know it.
