Participation
in Reading challenge, April 2019
45 minutes 0.75h
A bit of Du Chinese; some Pleco readers (burning through the 1500 word one as fast as I can manage), and about 5 minutes of Comics (Yumi's Cells)
60 minutes 1.0h
Finished another short story in the Pleco Readers; this time about a husband who hasn't come home for four years, and when he finally does he's bringing home a 3 year old boy born of his mistress to throw in his wife's face. Fun times! Also more korean comics in Chinese.
80 minutes 1.33h
Pleco Graded readers- anybody else noting how super depressing it was to live in China in the 1970s/80s was? These stories are bleak, with just tiny grace notes to make them bearable...
30 minutes 0.5h
Comic book- Yumi's Cells (柔美的細胞小將)a fun comic- you can read it all online in English and Chinese. It's got a very European-comics circa 1965 kinda feel to it, but it's originally Korean.
60 minutes 1.0h
Pleco reader- this time the 1500 vocab-range Chinese Graded Reader; These are good in that they have audio books attached, and are contemporary literature. A bit bad for me in that Chinese contemporary literature is largely just plain depressing.
60 minutes 1.0h
A mix of textbook, comic books and Du Chinese reading; a bit scattered today, but something's better than nothing...
50 minutes 0.83h
a bit of comics; but mostly the 3 texts from my textbook's 3rd unit; this is more intensive reading; 遇到新詞一定要查,仔細讀一遍,也要朗讀,準備後天要讀給老師聽。課本是師範大學的“實用視聽華語”第五本。
30 minutes 0.5h
Was reading a Korean comic book called "True Beauty" in English/ 國語名字:女神降臨. It's a silly high school soap opera- but the translation (vetted by the locals) is very accurate to Taiwanese spoken Mandarin. It's here if you want to have at it: https://www.webtoons.com/zh-hant/drama/ohmymuse/list?title_no=1411
