Practiced in the car while listening to a podcast. Learned about ordering food at restaurants then moved on to one about describing your family.

Listened to Melnyks about describing the place you live. Covered vocab like house/apt, kitchen, living room, etc.

Finished up a restaurant podcast and started a weather podcast on Melnyks.

I listened to a Melnyks podcast on ordering food at restaurants. I knew most of the vocab, so it was more about getting used to hearing it spoken and practicing speaking it myself.

Found podcasts on Spotify and now I am practicing in the car :)

I fell behind a bit, but I am going to catch up! Here is what I listened to today.

Today I listened to this:

I am used to studying Taiwanese Mandarin so all the hard R sounds at the end of words tend to throw me off while listening.

Today I listened to this dialogue.

I could actually keep pace this time, so I feel like my listening is improving a bit. I was a bit surprised by the dialogue though haha. Some of the words are fairly advanced.

Today I listened to this dialogue:

It made me feel fortunate my teacher isn't like that haha

Today I listened to the dialogue for the Practical Audio Video Chinese chapter I am working on at the moment.

All the footage was filmed in the late 80s, early 90s and it shows haha.

I don't think I will ever forget the word 腦殘 hahaha.

Today I listened to this:
http://popupchinese.com/lessons/elementary/death-by-appliance

There were a lot of vocab words I didn't know and I had to listen to it a few times to make out what the dialogue was saying.

Hope I don't forget it!

Today I tried an elementary course.

It was quite a bit harder than the absolute beginner ones. It was an interesting dialogue though!

Today I listened to this:

I didn't realize that 我要你~ is rude. I'm curious if that is the same in Taiwan as well.

I listened to this:

The dialogue was kinda creepy, but I learned a lot.

I listened to this:
http://popupchinese.com/lessons/absolute-beginners/let-me-do-it-myself

I feel more confident in my ability to ask for stuff at the convenience store now :)

I listened to this:

It went really well. I learned a lot of new vocab!
