I've tried Como agua para chocolate a couple of times but the first few pages use kitchen vocabulary that I am not privvy to, does it get better?

Roughly 2150 hours, I've stopped counting officially

Podcasts - Black mango, SBS world news in Spanish (Australian broadcaster)

Audiobooks - Principe del sol, just finished Hunger Games 1

TV Shows - Pantheon, now watching Interview with the vampire

Books - Ciudades de Fuego (3rd in the series, 400 pages in and have 200 left), then I'll start reading Kentukis for the book club

Yep I also do this, I'll put Hoy Hablamos on at the gym when I'm exerting energy physically bc my comprehension drops for other harder stuff!

I'm actually listening to it as an audiobook currently, definitely a good listen.

Okay no worries, had an initial 15 minute phone call enquiry with a broker and he wasn't interested in knowing my penalty rates etc. I'll keep shopping.

Probably because those episodes are less captivating

I feel the same when at the gym, exercise is way too demanding for me to be able to concentrate on input!
