I finished translating Dragonball books 2 and 3. They help with some slang and the length of statements makes it easy to take in nibbles. I bought an omnibus book with books 4, 5, and 6 to do the next set.

We picked up a couple more children’s books from zu vershenken boxen am strasse and have been churning through those.

I managed a few more fully in German interactions in stores. It’s getting better, but if people could please stop slurring/muttering I’d be quite appreciative.

Still working on faster numbers. I can understand them, but it takes way too long to translate in my head. I’m trying to just listen and understand, not translate as a means of keeping up the pace.

Oh, and we’ve been singing the alphabet song in German more to remind us of the buchstaben (letters) so when people ask us to spell something or spell something out it’ll go faster.

I have until May 2027 to have my B1 zertifikat to get residency. Only 16 months left! Muss üben.
