Deutsch-Übung
Lately I'm devoting a serious amount of my time to German practice, particularly with the spoken language. I've been following two podcasts, Deutsche Welle's "Video des Tages" and Deutschlandfunk's "Wissenschaft im Brennpunkt." A set of CD's which I got last year contains dramatic recitations of classic German poetry. Of course, I've also been watching movies. It takes a little work to get the ones that aren't grim and depressing; those seem to be the only ones that get exported to the US. But today I'm re-watching my very favorite German movie, Goodbye, Lenin, which is anything but grim and depressing.
