2. The BBC have a German language film I liked called Land of Mine, currently available on their catchup service.
Ooh, thank you for the link and the film rec! The school closest to me looks like it is primarily for kids lol but hopefully they do exams in non-Covid times; if not, I think the nearest place I can go is Manchester?? Maybe?? The film really looks great, I'm gonna try and watch it this week.

Quick catch-up before a new week starts!

It's been a busy end of week/weekend - I didn't take Friday off (and I'm working tomorrow) even though they're bank hols (honestly very pleased with this decision because I've got a lot done, I've earnt two days I'm taking in May and I haven't had to go to a Zoom meeting in several days) and we've just had a lot going on around the house, which has just meant I've been really tired/not had time to do much during the day.
However, I did manage to get Lesson 15 done for Spanish - including the review. I still didn't do amazingly (57% overall, I think); but that's m u c h higher than I managed on the last review; I'm still just having issues with the translation exercises. (And some word order things that I'm not 100% sure are wrong, but I'm not sure how flexible Spanish word order is lol.)
I also clearly fell into a C-Drama hole there; I've not watched any more of CLoY this month but I thought yesterday I'd get away with just one episode of 梦回 and oh no it was cliffhanger city. Luckily, E11 ended on a scene with two characters I'm much less interested in so I managed to tear myself away and to my reading.
Tomorrow (or today, here), the #40h7dLC starts and I'm excited to spend a lot of time on Spanish. I've tried to even out the rest of my studying as much as possible (and I think I'll have higher numbers for Mandarin/Korean/maybe German, depending on what I watch), but I hope I get through a few lessons in the LL book, maybe finish Los juegos del hambre (I'm 54% in), and watch a bunch of stuff. I'm thinking about starting a streak on r/WriteStreakES - they also have a subreddit for speaking practice, which is tempting.
Idk, there's a lot to do and it's time to get on with it.
