SpanishI wonder if I should just copy and paste my Spanish updates every week, seeing as how I pretty much do the exact same thing over and over again! This week, I read some stuff and listened to some stuff and watched some other stuff.
I still haven't received my copy of Gramática de Uso del español C1. It's been "in transit" for over two weeks now. I hope I'll receive it before the end of the month.
Reading:Como agua para chocolate - 2 chapters. This is really a beautiful book! If it weren't for the book club, I'd be reading it more quickly. But I'm enjoying the fact that I need to slow down. It's allowing me to really savour the words.
Los días oscuros - I just finished the second chapter of the second book in the Apocalipsis Z series. The thing that bothered me at the end of book one (no spoilers, I'll just say that it has to do with a new character) continues to make me roll my eyes in this book, but I'll wait and see how it pans out. I'm happy that this book is written in narrative form rather than following the diary format of book one.
Listening:Many thanks to @Spoonary for mentioning
Porqué Podcast: Porqué ese boom del fenómeno zombie on her log! I absolutely *loved* it. I was familiar with most of the zombie movies/TV shows that they mentioned, and it was a lot of fun to listen to it. The guests/hosts made me laugh out loud more than once. Highly recommended for any zombie-lovers! This was the only podcast that I listened to this week, but at over two hours long, it was spread out over several days.
We finished watching season one of
Narcos on Netflix. What a great show! It was hard for me to understand the Spanish in the first few episodes, but I was very comfortable with the accent by the end of episode 8. I'm looking forward to season 2!
