Discovered that Euronews allows you to watch news clips and provides the trascript underneath so you can read and listen at the same time. I think I'll start doing that for about 30-1 hour each day and acquire some of the vocabulary frequently used in the news.
Apart from that, I've been trying to write a little more. Yesterday I posted a writing in my lang-8 journal about active and passive vocabulary in Portuguese that I'll post in the next entry. I find it really useful and would definitely recommend that people use it. Now I know that I should use o subjuntivo after 'É possível que' [it's possible that].
Not been doing much about my diet topic. Read two articles today: one about how studies show that an adequate amount of Vitamin C can help you to shed some pounds and another about how soya based foods are important in alleviating menopause symptoms [assuming I correctly understood the articles]. Here's some of the vocabulary I took down:
Pular uma refeição - To skip a meal
A desidratação - Dehydration
A vitamina - Vitamin
O nutriente - Nutrient
O tumor - Tumor
O aminoácido - Amino acid
A infecção - Infection
A insônia - Insomnia
Update 19:57
Not really interested any longer in the topic 'dieta'. So I'm going to move onto traveling. I've only left Scotland once and that was to spend a few days in England but apart from that I've never been abroad. I learn languages in the hope of being able to visit and live in other countries. I currently have a 1000+ photo collection of around 70 different countries and this has helped to motivate me in the past to continue with a language. In brief, the new topic is 'Viajando'.
