    It was a “wall” week for me, at least psychologically.

    I started looking up a lot of the lyrics to the new songs I’m listening to, and am realizing that I’ve been totally mishearing the lyrics. It has taken me 2 hours (!!!) to reach the 1st Pokemon center in Pokemon Weiße. I’ve been getting like 70% on Anki this past week, etc. etc.

    Its just one of those weeks, I’ll keep practicing but its a downer this time. Sometimes progress feels like a step back rather than a step forward.


    I’ll share “Wann fängt mein Leben an?” (Tangled German version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S6l7Dazg-8

    As far as Disney songs go, this one is on the easier side. Especially with the video. Its basically Repunzel going over her morning routine, so its a lot of “simple” and “beginner” words (ex: read a book, do a painting, clean and cook).

      Hah, I know the feeling with gaming. It recently took me almost an hour to unlock manual saves in Animal Crossing New Horizons, and that seemed ridiculous to me until I realized it probably takes a native 10 minutes!

      It took me like 8-10 hours to finish the first 2 or 3 hours of Pokemon Z-A probably. I know the feeling, it seems so slow!

      Good call on the song, a lot of the daily routine would be really useful vocabulary, and that’s a fun one to learn some of it. I’m surprised that video doesn’t offer captions though, at this point I thought Youtube just did those automatically.
