A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

399

Having misplaced the mini-notepad and pencil that I carry about to record hours, I’m going to have to rely upon my memory today.

In the class that I supervise for self-study students watched the 8 minutes of the start of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World—as an audiobook, a graded reader, on Youtube. It struck me that you don’t need to understand all of the words to follow the plot (especially if you are at conversant with the story). For me in German, Lost in Space und Harry Potter.

However, if you obsess about every word that isn’t the case.
