Englisches Tagebuch

In contrast to yesterday it was a fine going, without pain and pauses. All the time I was speaking with ChatGPT, that is a good method to distract myself from my problems.

I was in pain the whole time I was strolling. My healthy development has made no progress. Sometimes it looks like a step backwards. It doesn’t matter that I walked 3 kilometres because my gait was terrible.

English? Maybe my … Lies weiter

Sophia and Grayson visited us. It was a really nice evening. Surprisingly both didn’t drink alcohol so the receiving drink was water from their part and sparkling wine from our one’s. He was very glad that he could communicate English … Lies weiter

Tho have an addressee I sent my report to Fabian:

My walk today was very boring without you. In the beginning I was talking with myself, then I spoke with ChatGPT. It should put some questions to me which I … Lies weiter

One hour walk and thereby one hour English talk with Fabian and rather fluently.

Very good stroll today, especially glad without pains. I was walking about three kilometers and some 100 meters. I went to the Britzer Garden and was going back to my house. All the time I was using my phone and … Lies weiter

I had the impression today I couldn’t walk at all. But after tea I convinced myself to start. I used ChatGPT as partner for talking and as emotional impulse. It works for the first time wonderful, I was able to … Lies weiter

good day for my English. Terrible stroll today and a long English discussion with my grandchild, a very good English speaker. I explained him my research work in artificial intelligence, the so called symbolic AI and showed him my listings … Lies weiter

During my stroll today I was listening to a podcast for English learners with a focus on listening and understanding. Listening is now my main point in developing my English competence and it is – as I always notice again … Lies weiter

Equipment training, stair climbing – 18 floors, Feldenkrais – 45 min.

Talk with ChatGPT: description of the van Gogh painting “Harvest” and some other things, especially about the different behaviour of ChatGPT in different chats. The reasoning didn’t convince me … Lies weiter

I’m always surprised when I’m starting what to go, this time to travel with bus and U-Bahn, I think everything goes better but after about hundred meter the going becomes shaky and clumsy, my breathing heavier. What’s the reason for … Lies weiter

The main task today was visiting a dentist.  I got a bridge connecting two teeth and overbridging the gap between them. To prepare everything for this the old crownes of both the teeth had to be erased and then the … Lies weiter

Warm up 10 minutes followed by climbing stairs – again 18 floors. I was tired, sleepy and a bit depressive. After tea U. encouraged me to walk. I didn’t think I could manage it. Surprisingly, I went much better than … 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

Weak day or not?

I noticed my walk in the morning wouldn’t be very successful , but I stand almost 2 km and this wasn’t so bad. In this time I was a bit speaking English and then listening to … Lies weiter

What’s about today? 30 minutes ergo  connected with pronouncation exercises. This is a little straining, especially in the higher interval phase every two minutes. Then I wrote a post to G. provoking him tho couple with me tho improve our … Lies weiter

The beginning of the day was very intensive. Already in my bed, not sleeping anymore, of course, I was reading some chapters of the book. I read aloud for you later on, not in the bed. Then, after breakfast, my … Lies weiter

The new year is there, unavoidable. I’m running to my 85th, unavoidable either.

And we are starting in the next critical year, perhaps more critical than the last three years, and these ones were really terrible. A self-overestemating, crazy Putin … Lies weiter

I am bitterly disappointed with my walk today. After about 200 meters I had to use my cane and we had to take a shortcut, Ulrike also had problems with her foot. Before our walk I climbed our stairs 8

From now on, I don’t want to control and to correct my text anymore by ChatGPT. I think, I betray myself with this corrections. This diary should reflect my current state of English competence and not what I could perform … Lies weiter

Only a short report of my daily activities. In the morning before getting up, I read some articles from the New York Times, and later on, I dealt with a teaching video about the English tense forms. This lady gave … Lies weiter

After having breakfast, I stopped my Feldenkrais exercises and started a new gymnastic program, which I got by questioning ChatGPT. Recently, I have had the impression that I have neglected my muscle building. There are now about 16 exercises, which … Lies weiter

Three days without diary entries is not the best performance. But now I have to recapitulate everything that happened. This is not simple, but I will try.

On Christmas Eve, we visited our daughter and her children. We exchanged presents … Lies weiter

No sports today. The reason: not to relax, but a lack of time. Our prep for Christmas took the whole day. I had to go shopping—not for presents, but for groceries. It was a lot. A small part of our

1. I give again my daily diary entry. First, I want to say it’s very boring to always tell my diary the same things. In the future, I want to tell more interesting things and give only the daily duties I

This title is perhaps an understatement.

Every day is different. While I evaluated the last two days rather positively, I have to say today was and is close to terrible. Early in the morning, I noticed this is not my … Lies weiter

After having breakfast, I started, as often, with ergobiking and some Feldenkrais exercises. During ergobiking, I tried to follow a video with listening training. These exercises are very interesting. I have to understand two short sentences as dialogues: a question … Lies weiter

Yesterday, a terrible day. Today, quite a different one. Why? I don’t know. My feeling today wasn’t better than yesterday. I started a talk with ChatGPT. First, again, about pronunciation exercises with ChatGPT. I made a new proposal because the … Lies weiter

Yesterday was a terrible day, even though it started well. I had a longer walk of about two and a half kilometers. Later, I had to go to a key shop by bicycle. On the way, there’s a very narrow … Lies weiter

Now I am starting my text for the diary entry. Yesterday, I didn’t write anything about the day because it was, on the one hand, rather interesting, but it gave me no time to make this entry. Yesterday, my grandchild, … Lies weiter

This day started like quite a normal day: getting up and preparing breakfast for my wife and me. After breakfast, I finished my morning routine and then went to the grocery store to buy a few small things, putting them … Lies weiter

In the morning, after some sports, I had to go to my orthopedist. He told me that the problems I have with my hip may come from fine bone chips created by sawing the bones to insert the TEP. In … Lies weiter

I will give you a short report of my day up to now. It’s only noon, but I have done something in the morning that I would like to describe briefly. I started with ChatGPT again and had a very … Lies weiter

In the morning of Saturday I start to speak English with ChatGPT. The start was a little clumsy, but after some time I used it more and more successfully. Now I am going on a road and some other people … Lies weiter

“Today in the morning, I lay in bed reading the first articles of The New York Times. I forgot the content, so I had to stop and think about it, but perhaps it’s not important for today. After breakfast, I … Lies weiter

3 NYT article heard, read and again heard, one story heard during power training. Nothing written. I’m not sure if I have to power my speaking. I’m looking for a trick to overcome my inhebitence to speak. I’m not anxious … Lies weiter

This day began very well because, after a very nice night with only one interruption to go for peeing, which is very rare—I woke up at 8:15, very, very late for me. After this good start, unfortunately, I couldn’t study … Lies weiter

What have I done all this day? I am a little confused and have to organize my memory first. I think I started this with a lot of listening to a story, and after that, I listened to a podcast … Lies weiter

I started the day with a little English training with the help of the New York Times. After breakfast, I went on my ergo and exercised for about 10 minutes or a little more. While pedaling on my ergo, I … Lies weiter

In the morning, I hadn’t much time to do my exercises. After breakfast, I began, as usual, my ergo-biking, but this time only for 10 minutes. After that, I did a few hip powering, also only for 5 minutes. And … Lies weiter

Version 1: Minimal corrections

It is very boring to write every day about the same subjects, but this diary was founded to observe my health development, more exactly the progress of my recovery, so as not to forget how much … Lies weiter

Version 2: Polished and Idiomatic

Today unfolded differently from the past few weeks. Yesterday, we had an extraordinary experience at a concert in the Konzerthaus Berlin. Naturally, this Schinkel-designed building is magnificent. Since the orchestra welcomed a new conductor, the … Lies weiter

No Stroll Today

I can’t report on success or defeat today because I didn’t have enough time to go for a walk. In the morning, I carried out my typical exercises, such as stepping on my ergobike (again 20 minutes) … Lies weiter

It is the first time I’m writing these notes by hand, as I used to do for my German diary entries. I plan to dictate them later to improve my pronunciation and intonation and, of course, to produce a typed … Lies weiter

Morning Reflection:

Because I’m not sure I’ll have time in the evening to report on my health progress, I’ve decided to change my routine slightly. For now, I’ll start with a short session on my ergobike and some quick gymnastic … Lies weiter

Again, I started with my walk, but this time it didn’t go very well. After 200 meters, I had to use my cane to continue my walk. As yesterday, I was listening to an English article published in the NYT … Lies weiter

Today was quite a terrible day. In the morning, after breakfast, I did my exercises on my ergo for twenty minutes while listening to a lesson about the Feldenkrais method. Maybe I wasn’t very focused on my physical exercises. After … Lies weiter
