Erwachsenensachhörbücher! / Nonfiction audiobooks for grownups!

Another significant L2 milestone this weekend: J and I started listening to real grownup German audiobooks on our drives: 


He's doing just fine with them. After all, we've been watching grownup German documentaries for some time now. 

By the way, even though I don't post on them anymore, we've never stopped taking our regular audiobook listening drives, usually three or four weekday early mornings for 20 minutes, and once per weekend for a little longer. Here's my original post on the importance of these drives for J's initial L2 learning.

At this point, we often interrupt the audiobook for longer periods and converse, sometimes discussing the story or material, sometimes using that as a springboard into other conversations, sometimes not even getting around to much listening and just talking.
