What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

I completed my first book in German—Pearl Buck’s Drachenfisch—a ‘home run’ book in that language. Admittedly it is for children, but no matter. It has almost 100 pages (although there are illustrations). But it reminds me that I have about 80 German readers stored somewhere. And I believe that they come with the audio too.

Funnily, I read it while training. I’ve been doing 5000 metres worth of laps at the Caledonian, and I would read while walking, dog-earing before running.

I even saw Dave S there coaching. He even coached me a little over 25 years ago.
