I can't believe how fast this week went. Did some German vocabulary this week and practiced speaking but that did not go as well as I had hoped. Still better than nothing, though. Grammar is still my enemy.

Had two two hour one on one sessions with a tutor online. Narrating Portuguese in the past tense is kicking my ass. Listened to about 4 20 minute news sections and had about 60-70% comprehension. I'm building a real-time subtitle overlay in Python so I can either see the native language or a translation while watching a video or chatting via video calls.

Overall 7/10, I need to focus on grammar.
