Re: Jeff's language log
2019 - Summary of week 8
An update which I will edit and update as I assemble my notes... This is a start.
CA: 43th week of Catalan - 43130 reps. A while ago, I was recommended to have a look at TV3 Catalunya. So I did, and I found more than 300 (!) episodes of the drama Com si fos ahir (including subtitles). They'll keep me busy for a while.
DA: I finished the Danish audiobook and watched more Rejseholdet (only a handful left - the horror!).
GA: Inspired by one of my current musical projects, I skimmed the bilingual booklet of the classic recording Ceol Aduaidh (1983). I understand a lot more of it now compared to when I bought the album (20 years ago?).
GD: 44th week of Gaelic - 44090 reps.

2019 - Summary of week 9
I never got to updating the previous post. Maybe this week.
CA: 44th week of Catalan - 44030 reps. At the end of the week, the Catalan course stopped working all of a sudden. The English sentence played, but then nothing. I tried three devices (laptop, tablet, phone). Strangely enough, the Gaelic course worked fine (and I've done more reps there, if the amount of data was an issue). Anyway, I finally managed to catch up while using another computer at another place.
DA: I finished another Danish audiobook as well as the Rejseholdet series.
GD: 45th week of Gaelic - 44990 reps.

Re: Jeff's language log
2019 - Summary of week 10
Another hectic week.
CA: 45th week of Catalan - 45080 reps.
DA: I finished two Danish audiobooks, or rather collections of short stories (from Loyalbooks). I also started watching the old series Matador. Three episodes so far.
GD: 46th week of Gaelic - 46040 reps.
I finished two written books in English: Elevation (Stephen King) and We are not amused (David Crystal). Other than that, I mostly consumed audiovisual media, e.g. The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers (but the Quenya/Sindarin input was too low, so I didn't log it...).

2019 - Summary of week 12
CA: 47th week of Catalan - 47030 reps.
DA: Another Danish audiobook (or two?). Another Matador episode. I was on a business trip for a few days and the TV set in the hotel room happened to have access to a variety of radio channels, so I spent the evenings relaxing to DR P1.
GD: 48th week of Gaelic - 47990 reps.
No more Duolingo. I finally broke my streak of ~1040 days.
Not much language studying these days.

Re: Jeff's language log
2019 - Summary of week 13
CA: 48th week of Catalan - 47780 reps.
DA: I finished Gullivers rejser. More Matador.
GD: 49th week of Gaelic - 48590 reps. I've reached B1.
A lot of my language time means "passive" work. Danish is a good example of this, as well as the current record-holder when it comes to minutes per day (~45 min). It feels like a language where I've made most progress. (At least comprehension-wise.)

Re: Jeff's language log
I found two podcasts with 24 episodes each (one for each Matador episode).
Meget mere Matador (DR1)
Matador med mere / med Martin og Mathilde
Of course, that might be way more Matador than you want
