Día 61 (sesenta y uno)

Today is my 100 streak in Duolingo. 

 

Next virtual class meeting, my peer coach and me are telling a story en español. Estoy muy nerviosa.

I am starting to read spanish book, of course still Level A1 and A2, but it's fun.

Día 53 (cincuenta y tres)

Although I haven't written a lot on my blog, I have continued to study Spanish diligently.

A few days ago I had my 90 day streak in Duolingo. I've been studying Spanish for 90 days now. I can read and understand quite a lot for that. (You have to praise yourself from time to time ;-). 

Today Ismar gave us a new resource to study. It's the YouTube channel "Easy Spanish". I listend to the podcast one in the while but found it still to difficult for me. But the Videos have subtiles in Spanish and in English.

Día 42 (cuarenta y dos) Having a real conversation en español with voice mail

Todays homework was to have a real conversation (voice mail) with our peer-coach on Telegram.

First I was quite scared about this, what actualy it was a lot of fun and we chatted a bit more than we actually had to. 

Día 41 (cuarenta y uno) Virual Class room meeting

Today we had our 6. Sesión Grupal. As always it was muy divertido.

Día 38 (veinte y ocho) Global Digial Libary.

Another great resource of learning Spanish is "The Global Libary". I am not sure if I mentioned it here in my blog. 

Día 36 (treinta y seis) YouTube "Spanish after hours"

Today Ismar introduced another YouTube channel called "Spanish after hours" with the video

EASY SPANISH LISTENING PRACTICE, Spanish Book Reading | Spanish After Hours

It is a cute story in a childrens book. She explains the story very slow with simple words and a few new words are highlighted in the video. I like this concept a lot. I understood about 90% of the video.

I love her videos, another YoutTube channel I subscribed to.  

While browsing through "Spanish after hours" I found a video about TV-shows for learning Spanish. And the TV-Show "Madrileños por el Mundo" was recomended. In fact I found a video about my hometown "Madrileños por el Mundo "Düsseldorf"

So, I had the idea that I start a little research about film about my city "Düsseldorf" in Spanish.

Here is what I found so far:
QUE HACER EN DÜSSELDORF, ALEMANIA 🇩🇪? (5 Cosas para hacer y lugares para visitar)

Düsseldorf: tres sugerencias | Destino Alemania 

Madrileños por el Mundo "Düsseldorf (bad video quality, and difficult to understand, for me at least)

Düsseldorf, Alemania: ¿qué ver en 1/2 día?

It would be nice to know where the other students in my class live. Maybe it could be a little extra challenge? (Maybe I ask Ismar, what he thinks about it.)

Día 35 (treinta y cinco) - Duolingo

Today we were asked to listen to a Duolingo Podcast: Episode 1: Mi héroe, mi amigo

and tell Ismar how much we understood. I listend once without the transcript and I got about 50% and with reading the transcript about 70%. 

Today I watched the video "How long does it take to learn Spanish? - Beginner Spanish - Language Learning #28". He gave a kind of a road map to how much hours you have to study to be able to understand and speak at certain situations. It does help to know this. But on the other hand it kind of stresses me, when I would be behind.
