Mostly focusing on Norwegian, trying to talk to people and such. Otherwise mostly slow.

That's good! Exactly the same here except I'm working on German.

Ich auch!

We moved to Germany a few weeks ago (well... moved to Berlin). Immersion here is sorta immersion.

I read some new children's books. Spent time translating government documents (the never ending array of government documents). Learned a few new words in conversation and got a bit better at people's names.

Deutsch jeden tag!

Ahh Super!

I also have the priviledge of living in a german-speaking capital city, so I can immerse but fallback whenever I feel uncomfortable (Vienna) :)

I tried the childrens books for a bit, but ultimately decided to take courses and buy course books to go through. Self learning takes quite a lot of discipline and I suck at that...

But yeah I can relate with the documents lol!

Ja! Wir können es schaffen!!
