聞き耳のラジオ Episode 23 - 27
Spanish Short Stories for Beginners Volume 2 - Short story 3 titled “El robot”
Yayyy! Finished my second series on Satorireader this week! The last 5 episodes week got me thinking about the first movie I watched in Japan without subtitles: すずめの戸締まり. Having finished this, I started to reread Ruri Dragon again from the beginning. I had joined the ABBC while it was ongoing upto Week 3 but then took my hiatus in the middle of it. But I intend to use the ABBC to help me with the vocab and grammar. Thanks to everyone who contributed to that!
I also finished a short story in Spanish in one sitting! I might reread it the following week just to review new words.
