This has been an empty day. No sports, no thoughts, no English, no healthy habits. An extraordinarily silly visit to a neurologist who told me what I already know: there’s nothing that could help me, and nothing I can take … Lies weiter

.Just back from visiting Schaefer’s, not knowing what the hell to tell you. Therefore, basically, I have to look forward to tomorrow to expect more exciting and new inspiration. Certainly, the political discussions with Sch. went to the basis—the … Lies weiter

Instead of a new article a mail which I wrote today.
Really, Peter, you’ve used Windows 7 up to yesterday. But I don’t want to pull your legs. I hope you are happy with your new notepad, and it gives … Lies weiter
Fillers
Well, let’s start with a kind of text creation that uses a lot of such words. I mean, you know them, but you don’t really use them. It’s like lifting very heavy weights for a second-language speaker because, in your … Lies weiter
No piece of cake
To write down a short article containing fundamentally political issues expressed in a highly idiomatic style is not a piece of cake. Looking for suitable idioms which can be connected with scrutinizing(that can be used to scrutinize) political subjects can … Lies weiter
No slam dunk
In a report on a soccer match, I read the following nice phrase: ‘A player has been injured because he was on the wrong end of a collision, and he hobbled off the pitch.’ Such an injury isn’t a piece … Lies weiter

Let’s talk about the Russian-American relationships.
Lately, almost everyone has gotten the impression that Russians and Americans are growing closer and closer. But it’s not really about “Russians” and “Americans” as a whole—it’s more about Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, … 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

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

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.

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

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.
