I'm back home and attempting to catch up on everything! It was challenging to keep up with the 90 day challenge while out of town but I managed....barely. I re-listened to to Language Track 52, in this one Mihalis repeats that in English we use 'ing' far more often than in Spanish. For example, when it's used as an adjective like interesting, irritating or living, instead of using the 'ando', 'iendo' form of the verb we use 'ante' or 'iente' to form the adjective.
- interesting - interesante
- irritating - irritante
- living - viviente
I also chose two of Laura's videos to try listening to over and over and over again to see if I can get to the point where I can shadow the video. Plus I find her entertaining. I chose:
You should read more, so join the club! and this one about her packing prowess.
The other thing that I've been neglecting to do is review things I've done in the past. It's easy to do with this blog. We're over halfway. I should see how I'm doing, right?
I definitely need to watch more of her videos. I found a load of spanish speaking programmes on prime that I am working my way through....takes a lot of concentration but subtitles really help. Need to work on my listening skills.
ReplyDeleteMe too! It's my weakest link, in my opinion.
