Penultimate class tonight. Read through 10 articles, very fun and interesting stuff. But unsure this instructor has pushed me enough. Thankfully I've been reading some RFE/RL articles daily. I'm also listening to HRT's Dnevnik news, about 10-15 min of news run-down. Can't say I'm understanding 100%, but getting my ears attuned.
DLPTs next Tue and Wed. Still hoping for a 1 on Listening and 2 on Reading. We'll see.

Re: My Scanner Life. IronMike's 2022 log (EO,RUS,BCS,EGY)
Holy poop, that Reading DLPT killed me. I thought I had a chance at a 2, felt pretty good on some passages, but ended up with a 1+ (B1). ((
Listening tomorrow, and I'm going to really suck at that test!
Then I'll read an Esperanto novel. Then I'll start on Russian study. Russian DLPT/OPI coming up in February.

Wow, unbelievably I got a 1+ on the Listening DLPT today. I felt worse doing the Listening than the Reading yesterday and ended up with 1+/1+. I'm fine with that. Been 23 years since my 3/2+, back when I was using the language daily, so...understandable.
Now, finish the Esperanto novel then on to Russian. DLPT/OPI due in mid-February.

Re: My Scanner Life. IronMike's 2022 log (EO,RUS,BCS,EGY)
Started back to some Russian today, reading a few pages of a story and even listening to 10 minutes of Что это было? I've missed Russian.
Also about 35% done with Kvazaŭ ĉio dependus de mi. Very good so far!

Just about done (94%) with Kvazaux cxio dependus de mi, then I'm going to move on to Ангели и демоны/Angels and Demons, and stick to Russian books till my test (except for the next Esperanto Sumoo). I'll L-R the Dan Brown.

Re: My Scanner Life. IronMike's 2022 log (EO,RUS,BCS,EGY)
Yep, finished the Esperanto book. Feel free to read my review here. (Shameless blog plug.) I've paused before reading the Russian book by reading a Don DeLillo book whose characters have an obsession with languages and dead languages. How could I not read that book?
Also had the first input to the new 6 week challenge: AI6WC! w00t! Thanks Cavesa!

Re: My Scanner Life. IronMike's 2022 log (EO,RUS,BCS,EGY)
Still working the Russian. Missed a couple days due to family being in town for the holiday. Worth it.
L-Ring The Martian, listening in Russian, reading in English. Will also start on 1 Jan to read the Bible over a year, but will read it in Esperanto.
In other news, I'm about to finish my 87th book of the year. No, not all in foreign language, but I did read 3 in a foreign language and 10 translated. And polyglot fitness challenge-wise, I hit all my language goals, but none of my fitness goals. Oh well.
