Short Story: La Librería, Completed 5/3/2019

This ten-minute short story focused on pretérito and imperfect.
Took about six hours to work through the story, reading out loud, looking up words, putting some sentences into GT when needed, listening to the recording at least twice during each segment of the story.

Worked out implied prepositions for prepositional pronouns, making a little more sense.

Final listen, eyes closed: heard words and a few phrases but if I didn't know the story, I wouldn't have gained much. Maybe 10%.

Missed 6 of 52 possibilities on the fill in the conjugation blanks.
