Writing this essay took FREAKING FOREVER. But if I want to get into C-level fluency, that's the price I gotta pay. Leggoooo
Finished Silence. It's just as harrowing and thought provoking as the movie I watched, but with more introspection on how one's experiences matches with the gospels. Books to read in German: ̶D̶i̶e̶ ̶N̶e̶b̶e̶l̶ ̶v̶o̶n̶ ̶A̶v̶a̶l̶o̶n̶ ̶S̶i̶d̶d̶h̶a̶r̶t̶h̶a̶ ̶S̶c̶h̶w̶e̶i̶g̶e̶n̶ 1984 Steinhauer Anthologie Komisch, aber chemisch!

I held a reading session for the book Siddhartha. Should finish it in several weeks, I believe. If I have time, I'd like to do Silence next. Very well worth the reading in German.
I decided to add to my German learning routine the watching of the tagesthemen section of the Tagesschau news. They go into deeper analysis of the news discussed that day and there's always a chance to learn new words. Good stuff.
Did another Siddhartha reading session! I made a little Kahoot quiz to go over the vocabulary encountered in the reading, so that's fun.

I'm in, I've been learning English for 1 year now. I already can understand the language, read and write it, but I still need to develop my speaking skills. Good luck to you all.
Might as well update my progress. Finished another book, which puts me at 16 books read in German. Only 121 more to virtual fluency.
I've done 2 hours of active listening in English. I read and wrote as well, and for the first time, I've done shadowing with a podcaster I like.
I'm basically binging this website and its YouTube channel in my spare time. https://www.finanzfluss.de It's singlehandedly convinced me to invest in ETF's while also teaching me finance-related German.
