I'm beginning to feel like I "miss" my old study routine (Anki and textbooks). So I'll probably be starting that back up this week.

Because I've been neglecting Anki, I have 700+ words to review to get back on track lol. Ah well, I'll work through that and start learning new vocab too.

On the immersion front, I used the auto-subtitles (German only) + a lot of dictionary lookups today to fully understand this old German skit on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lI1C_q8QOVU?is=HiqrxwdjVtn_GN-F

I don't know what level that puts me at, especially because short quippy remarks are easier than the whole indirect / subjunctive/ relative clause thing I SHOULD be doing at B1. But I still feel like this is something I never thought I'd be able to do just a year ago.
