I’m struggling with myself whether my English understanding stuckes. I feel no progress if I’m listening to news, to podcasts and extraordinarily weak is my understanding of films.

Parallely, I don’t see any improving of my physical state.

I shortened the route to improve the quality of my gait. It was straining and not very successful, I will observe the development in the next days. The other measure I took has been to go an extra tour consciously … Lies weiter

How to talk about this day, I don’t know exactly. In no case it was a good one. I think one of the reason of this  was that the sleep wasn’t so well. I often was reading  and in the … Lies weiter

Staircase climbing: 3 floors, 6 times. It was a little straining because either my condition wasn’t the best, or I tried to exercise English pronunciation at the same time—seems a bit idiotic. After the six rounds, I was exhausted. Nevertheless, … Lies weiter
