Russian Practice, Reading Vocabulary from Japanese Book, Part 2-3 Intermission
The book I am reading from is ISBN 978-4-87615-399-2, which can be found at: https://goken-net.co.jp/catalog/card.html?isbn=978-4-87615-399-2 .
Operation codename "no russian"; seriously, no rushing around at the airport unless you can handle yourself like I can. I'm the only "rushin" allowed, given that I have Maverick (Top Gun) reflexes...

English Practice, reading "Germania" by Tacitus, Part 3
An ancient Roman writing, probably around 150-250 AD about the German peoples. Found at https://www.unrv.com/tacitus/tacitusgermania.php .
Read through 28-46 of 46. Was a fun reading since it seems to be a mix of nearly everyone, from the eyes of Germans and the Romans, of everyone around, in, or near Germany. Mainly read the reading, though some commentary was regarding proximity of historical data from 2000 years ago, English nuances, and even a beating-bush commentary regarding "women in power". In Christ, all are equal; as such, the measure that lead to both the decline of Rome and the Sitones is that they were not Christian. lol. But also, I mean, a measure of failing Christians can be that they didn't see Christ in all. ... :)

Reading 창세기 1, Genesis 1
Link to the Bible translation website I am using: https://biblehub.com/kor/genesis/1.htm .
So I just left Korea and, heh, that takes the most of this video's length in talking about.
I also like to say 하느님 (Orthodox) instead of 하나님 (protestant). Whatever, the most important part, for me, is just reading the Bible as a practice of Korean language. Technically, since Korean is linguistically similar to Japanese, the act of doing this study of another language is as Japanese practice in the effects of being in Japan and then going into Japan while in between recordings.
My time in Korea was Japanese practice given the linguistic similarity of Japanese to Korean and, yet, people wanted to be offended when I used Japanese so as to make it easier for me to learn Korean over time. As such, Korea is put on notice: knock off the "gakidomo" crap; never know when a US veteran is going to come by just like you don't know when a US soldier is going to Travis King themselves...

Korean Practice; third vocab sheet, TOPIK II 2662, Part 6
I found this list at Tammy Korean and you can find it here: https://learning-korean.com/pdf/ .
I dunno, but I am beginning to think the walls in my room are really small and that a pretty couple of gals are too polite-intentioned to bang on the door and tell me to shut up lol. Whatever, Got through A LOT of vocabulary in this one sitting. Only four pages left and... I am not sure if I will keep doing Korean practice for the rest of my time here, given it's only a few days left here. Not sure... Maybe? Whatever lol. ... Going to be important to at least spend some time in "the wild" so as to allow Korean to be spoken around me and what not. Kinda, ya know, "korean'd" out. Dunno. ... Still have today and a few more days. Maybe go site-seeing but, like, why? lol. My ankles are acting up, as well as my knees; as such, I might just do something else while I'm here. Dunno. Simply, making use of my time in Korea so as to cram a bunch of Korean and then go back to where I came from, lol. Don't have anything better to do with my life, at this moment; also, it has led me to meeting interesting people, already. lol.

Korean Practice; third vocab sheet, TOPIK II 2662, Part 7
I found this list at Tammy Korean and you can find it here: https://learning-korean.com/pdf/ .
Alright! Ended up finishing all of what I wanted to record regarding Korean langauge practice! While this is the last which is to probably be recorded, at the moment, the first five vocab sheets were already completed except for this third sheet at the seventh part. Not sure if I'll do any more Korean practice recordings while in Korea. Dunno. ... May as well just enjoy the rest of my time here, lol. Who knows when I'll be back. Then again, who knows if I will ever actually use Korean after I leave here. ... At least I practiced it and have had the practice play with my brain and the neuroplasticity stuff involved. XD. Whatever. Jaa!

Well, switched from the "low intermediate" to the "beginner". Almost done with this, just two more pages. lol. Just kinda came up and was like, "let's knock this sheet out!". ... Almost there...

Well, after finishing the second/some-third/no-fourth/fifth sheets, I have finally came back to end this last part for this first vocab sheet. lol. As much as I like the idea of holding off on finishing the phrases, the grammar sheet from Tammy Korean could be a sixth sheet or just a sub-series on it's own. I dunno. Regardless, finished this! ... Commentary includes me complaining about zero-calorie drinks since it was messing up my throat during the speaking process. XD.

Figured that I would go ahead and get the fourth sheet started. I dunno lol. Was only going to do the first page and then continued the rest of the second page instead of doing a stop in the middle of the "week 2". Also, I think I like just going from side-to-side instead of following the up-and-down pattern on the sheet. ... Rebel.

Woot! Finished this fifth sheet pretty quickly and, now, let's get back to finishing off the first sheet. Maybe do some more work at the third sheet. Dunno if I'll do the fourth sheet (not "i" but "ee") until I'm done with the third sheet but... Perhaps... It may behoove me to at least have the sheets put up in partial even if not yet in entirety. Whatever lol.

Lots of random commentary added in but, meh. I did the rest of the grammar available on this sheet while doing also two pages of the vocabulary. Wanted to finish it all but, like, I commented about random subjects related to my current situation and experience regarding sociology, anthropology, psychology, and what not. Politics, public policy. XD. Whatever lol.

May seem silly to jump to the hardest difficult but, hey, I went from HSK 2 to HSK 6 with my Chinese recordings and... well... I wanted to knock out the special grammar section on this before finishing either the fourth and third vocab sheets but also before finishing completing the first vocab sheet.
Went well, did the first two vocab pages and first four grammar sections. I guess the next part will finish up the grammar sections and, maybe, also all of the vocab since it's not as straining given my inability to actually use Korean language lol.

Alright, almost near the end! Made this the penultimate video for this sheet, since I still want to do the phrases but I also don't want to finish it outright just yet. The 13th page of this sheet, and yet I didn't also finish page 14 at the same time. lol. Whatever, I'm the one making these videos and I decided to take a small bite of the elephant instead of finishing it right away: now I have two bites of the elephant by having smaller bites, bwahaha!

Did the words 101-200 and not sure if I can actually press more on these words since, well, Russian is kind of the newest language which I have ever practiced. Lol. Still having some issues but, I mean, it's generally like reading aloud Latin for me. Just not as much practice with Russian pecularities with grouped consonants. XD

Read through 13-27, of 46. The first part of this reading was stopped due to noise; this second part was stopped as a natural breaking point of discussion from Germania itself towards Germania's neighbors.
