I think I’m starting to think of a new study routine I like. When I’m commuting I’ll listen to some Hebrew tv episodes or movies. This is ideal because there’s bad cellphone reception and during that trip I’d normally agonize about what music I’ll listen to. Now I don’t have to! I’ll start off by just listening and relaxing. So I don’t get too worried about words or grammar structures I don’t understand. Since I already know the story from watching with English subtitles I can relax. I’ve noticed some improvements in understand the meaning of things in Hebrew even though I come across a lot of words I knew for sure I recognized before. I’m making a transition between recognizing words and getting meaning out of things.
Right now I’m working on the third episode of Shtisel. I already made anki cards for it and a pdf file of the script. I’m editing the audio at the moment. I have ten episodes available in total. I don’t know how much more I’ll need to make anki cards for. For the later episodes I might just listen and look through the script.
I’m still not too sure what I’ll do about parallel reading. Right now I have a rough pdf of Harry Potter one with audio from a YouTube video. I still haven’t figured out an organized way to do parallel reading or how to fit it into my study routine. I also want to find something other than Harry Potter. Harry Potter is above my level and I’m not sure how useful the vocabulary would be. So far all the public domain Hebrew audiobooks have been even harder than Harry Potter and it’s probably hard to track down an English version. I still kind of feel like I need English translations. One day I’ll probably be fine with just a transcript.
