Honestly, am I being a bit lazy? Once again a surprisingly short article. But it remains a small amount of time for writing, the other language activities – reading, listening, writing down heard texts to assure my understanding, taking part … Lies weiter
Again a good day
You see, what a wonderful tour! I admit that I need some stops and also two sit downs. If I can do a comparable walk Saturday, l would say I will manage my healthy recovering with respect tho my hip. … Lies weiter
Brilliant day
4 km walk without cane, without pain and an really good talk with ChatGPT. Such talk runs much better than with Languatalk. It’s quick, understands everything and I can talk with it all subjects I like, also actual events.

Today, I started a new method, a further method, so to say, to get better in English pronunciation, especially to improve language understanding, particularly in understanding films. The film I took for this experiment was the old series Downtown Abbey. … Lies weiter
Sauna
First, about 4 km walking, second driving to B.s for visiting their sauna and having a lovely dinner afterwards.
Sauna could help, but who knows.

A brilliant spring day was the reason for starting a short bicycle tour with my wife. It was very refreshing and great for my physical state – so I hope.
Today I started an accompanying podcast about my English learning. … Lies weiter
I remain stable, it seems
This was a weak English day. I heard some podcast yet I’m my bed. One podcast recommended me to use a flashcard APP Anika. Another podcast recommended urgently not using flashcards at all. Í didn’t read the newspaper today, unfortunately. … Lies weiter
Great day or…?
The day was rather, perhaps you can say, very successful. I started in the morning after having some short exercises. No, before I had some exercises, my English practice with the app Languatalk, and I found out that this APP … Lies weiter
First Bike Tour
Today I had a very fine trip with my bicycle. It went from my home in the direction of Groß-Ziethen. On the way I looked for a new little town quarter where a lot of four-floor houses have been built. … Lies weiter
Nice walk, no nice politics
The second successful day, I walked again without pain, and this time it was longer than 4 kilometers. At the beginning, I had difficulties, but after about 6 or 700 meters, it was getting better. But I cannot claim that … Lies weiter
Once again proud of myself
Proud of myself? Forget it! How often have I made this statement in the last few months. But: don’t lose hope. The reason for this hope: 3,7 km without cane support.

After the party yesterday, we slept very long and we started breakfast about half past ten, if I remember correctly. After breakfast, I did some exercises as always, pedaling my ergo-bike and doing some exercises for strengthening my hips. After … Lies weiter
Ulrike’s birthday party
I am dictating this diary entry for the day before. It is meant for yesterday because yesterday there wasn’t any time to write this text; there was a lot to do. In the morning, I had some short exercises for … Lies weiter
Nothing new
A day without important events and regrettably no walk. Some equipment training, ergo biking, English conversation with F. , P. arrived from Erding for U.s birthday party tomorrow. You see, more events as usually.

Looking at Baseball is perhaps a good basic language environment to write this diary entry. I am not disturbed by German noises. For some weeks now, I have been walking my, respectively our, classical tour of 3 km again. But … Lies weiter
Better again I think
I’m a little surprised that I didn’t speak English today with my new app Languatalk but it doesn’t matter. I heard a lot of English in the morning listenimg to two or three articles – reading them parallelly for better … Lies weiter
Miserable
In not sure if Ulrike recognises my state. I don’t want to complaine anymore i did it too often. It is extraordinarily heavy too walk, to carry out my gymnastics. Exercises which I did weeks ago without problems don’t work … Lies weiter
I found a new, marvellous app for English and other language learning, or better said, acquiring. This app is based on AI, and I think the real basis is ChatGPT. It is elegantly transformed into a language acquisition app, and … Lies weiter

P. and I have decided to invite Canada to become a member of the EU and, with some hesitation, also to invite Egypt for membership in order to get the Suez Canal under EU control.
My physical state seems to … Lies weiter
No fun today
Unbelievable. But today I wrote an article for my political diary, so there is no time for my English article in this diary here. There is not much to tell about today. A little negative experience I had during my … Lies weiter
Cane, concert, car
From now, I walk with my cane. Advantage: I can go and I can go relatively fast. Disadvantage: I will see. Concert with Joana not bad but also not exciting. Car during leaving the garage demolished.
First time I visited … Lies weiter
Birthday
There’s not much to report today. It’s U.’s birthday. We went for walks twice, and the third time to a restaurant. It wasn’t all that bad, but it wasn’t very fun either. I had to use a cane at times. … Lies weiter

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.

Instead of writing a new diary entry i I’m quoting a letter – more exactly an email – tho the famous Englisch teacher Keith which I wrote today, I’m taking it as a testimony that I also studied English today.… Lies weiter
Self-assessment
Yesterday, I read about self-assessment during the English learning process. It can be a great help for learning itself if you use the self-assessment not as a stressful task, but as part of your language improvement process. Because of this, … Lies weiter
Again Britzer Garten
Only a short notice a day later, because I forgot yesterday to write my diary entry, terrible, it shouldn’t happen anymore. We strolled, more or less clumsy, through the Britzer Garden with a break in the Italo Caffee. Some physical … Lies weiter
The Echo Chamber 4 & healthiness

Visiting a orthopedist
Today, I visited my orthopedist. It was absolutely necessary because I’m waiting desperately for a progress of the stability of my hips during walking. He examined my state very carefully, more than before. Once again he looked for the CT … Lies weiter

Strange day
Once again a weird day. In the morning I had to go to my cardiologist in Karl-Marx-Strasse and noticed that my gait was very clumsy. The way to the bus station was difficult for me and the few steps to … Lies weiter

The PNP in my left foot is getting stronger, especially since yesterday. Sometimes I’m afraid that I will be getting to the state that I can’t walk anymore. On the other hand I cannot believe that such a state will … Lies weiter
Not amused
- My overall state today was extremely unsatisfying. Nevertheless, I did 20 minutes of ergobiking, a little Feldenkrais and went to my equipment training but reduced it. I gave up walking today. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Method change
