PMP: German Verb Tenses: 8.1-8.7
For PMP German Verb Tense, I completed unit eight on the imperative. Easy enough. Decided to watch Der Tatortreiniger (Crime Scene Cleaner). I tried to watch this one a few years ago and for whatever reason didn't stick with it. I decided to give it another chance and it's OK. Dry humor for sure.

Italian:
Reading: La paleoZona by Aronne Romano <-- 64%
Reading: Le cento migliori ricette di insalate by Luigi e Olga Tarentini Troiani <-- 39%
Reading: Lorenz e il segreto di re Salomone by Lucz Novelli <--33%
italki: two one hour lessons
il buongustare: 1.2 Viaggio fra gli anticchi ricettari italiani (B1)
I did another chapter from Il buongustare at the B1 level. It seemed like this B1 sub-chapter was slightly more difficult than the last one I did so iit might be that the four sub=chapters get progressively more difficult. I'm still doing a fare amount of reading and have three books going. I feel like I'm starting to have a breakthrough to C1 level of reading with the PaleoZona book. Sometimes when reading Italian I will understand but miss the nuances and now that is starting to change.
I fizzled out on the 6WC for German and dropped out of the 366 day challenge. I think I've reached a point where these are not helping me anymore. I also had a household issue that required a lot of my time recently so it put a dent in my free time. At this point I'm going back to doing PT and DE every other day so I can give each of them my full concentration on their allotted day. I probably should put one of them on hold to concentrate on the other but I don't want to so this is the best solution for now.
Goals for the upcoming week is to try to be more balanced and spend more time on output. Those bars in my sig won't fill themselves.
