Bengali
Bengali has felt a little slow this month, however I have written 444 words in 8 separate sessions through January. Today I read two short stories: চড়াই আর বাঘের কথা and বোকা কুমিরের কথা, one of which I've used toward the Short Stories Challenge. Apart from my comprehension, my pronunciation must be getting better as my partner did not need to check the text to understand what I was reading out loud!
German
I have written 2118 words in 19 separate sessions through January. I have also been working on Die Kinder Húrins. I am 6 pages through the 20-page first chapter. There are many words I need to look up, and some are not in my Collins Pocket Dictionary, but I'm following the story, although in part from my memory of the English version.
