Mirando la tele

Today and yesterday I spent time watching 'TV'. Since the Desafío ended I had lost the habit of watching. So I watched several videos of Dreaming Spanish and then I started in on Con Olor a Fresas, such an addicting show. I noticed my friend had blogged about it the other day also, so NOT the only one who finds it addicting. I started watching last night then again during my lunch break and then again after work. Ridiculous! However I understand I'd say about 65-70% of the dialogue. The story is pretty easy to follow, but sometimes some of the longer dialogues that are less superficial is more difficult for me to understand. But there are I think 65 more episodes to keep practicing with!

I chatted with Iris again today. She's the one who inspired me to start watching TV again. She's currently watching Modern Family, which in my opinion has very fast dialogue! But she says she can understand all of it! Her issue is she never started speaking right away because she was shy. Now she's playing catch up. I'm just the opposite, I have no problem nattering on in Spanish regardless of how many mistakes I make, but I have a hard time with listening comprehension. The program is fun though, so it's easy to practice!
