Not just "any", but hundreds of quality podcasts you may find here (be patient, it takes a while to load): http://www.br-online.de/podcast/radiowissen/cast.xml I recommend using cltr+f there to mine the topics you may be the most interested in.

If it's properly structured it's not a rambling, methinks. Anyway: welcome! And if I were you I would keep in mind, while talking to your family, that it took you ca. 500 podcasts to mould the idea of raising these issues with them and that, thus, they may need some digestion time as well. And if I were you I would also keep in mind, after having approached them, that it took you ca. 500 podcasts to realize the importance of these ideas and that, thus, your family shan't either take forever to (re)make their minds. And be sincere with yourself if the replies you get aren't the ones you'd wish for: we all want the tumor to receed but that doesn't always happen. Goedenacht!

吃过饭了吗? I am, alas, no longer in Beijing! But I am still happy that I read your message: many Beijingers could for sure benefit of your initiative, so may I clap in admiration loud enough for you to hear it there!

Nick, I'm sorry you feel this way and I hope you get to a place where you feel better. I only want the best for you.You might consider talking to your therapist about cycles of abuse and narcissistic personality disorders I am always here for you. and I can tell you all of this straightfaced because I am not your mom, that is, I did not allow the trauma to happen.

[i AM IN NO IMMEDIATE DANGER, AT ALL!] Hello again, Pat, You quoted me true about the bullet and gun thing, although worringly partially methinks. Allow me the full phrase: "If I ever thought there was no possibility of me getting the life I want, then I have a plan B: buying a bullet and hiring a gun. Out of respect for me and whoever could see me, I won't grow up to be a frustrated oldfart." Now, you are spot on about the relative danger of my situation, which I only in part succeeded to transmit to you: if you, Pat, have an accident and need to lay hospital-bound for several months, then you have your wife (and probably more people!) that will take care of you all recovery long. I don't: I am one accident away from being fucked up, and I guess that's one of the reasons why I am so much in a hurry. Our encounter was a reminder of the scores I have yet to improve in intimacy with those initially reluctant through that way with me. So, in a certain sense, you made me a better. And yes, 'twas ok for me, the rest of the night. Bien à toi!

Hello! Yes, it's been a while since I finished it. I sent it to Mike and he told me he would find proofreaders, but I ignore if that has happened as of today, so if you are interested (for which I thank you many times!), just send him an email and ask him if he still searching. Take care! P.S.: Förresten, är du svenska?

I have sent you a PM, Pat!

Yes please! I would love nothing more than that!

Another victim of the Old Russian Witch's Voodoo... Welcome aboard! Regarding social anxiety, I am happy if you are happy with your therapy, still I hope you also know that every effective treatment always starts with the GTFO pill: no serious doctor would pretend to cure, say, PTSD, while the battle's still going on.

I remember you; I've heard the beginning of the call again: you say first you've had trouble with self-esteem and THEN that you have been involved in an act that you can't even speak about. You are ashamed of what has happened to you. But you know this is not like choosing the wrong dress for the promo, Casey: what happened to you, you couldn't have possibly prevented it. If the couple would have wanted to go medieval in your ass, you couldn't have prevented it either. And this is easily understood by the fact that the only ones in the world that could have taught you to identify potential rapists failed blatantly to do so. Yet the parents know about it. The mother knows the day you were crying and yet she still threw you off in daycare. And the father knows the day in which he should have been close to you while you were playing, so that you didn't end up hurting yourself. Parents fucking know how lazy they are every day, because they get the cues of having failed to protect and, willingly, neglectfully, immorally slack them away. And to do a proper, multi-generational, slacking job requires you to feel responsible for what they should have been, lest you mouth out their irresponsibility in a family meeting! And this is why you feel bad about your childhood: the horror to which you were submitted it's greater than the one you remember, and you know it: if you thought hard about it, you would come up with ways in which your parents were even more inhuman than what they look like in a paper or a .jpg now. And maybe you still want to think that there is a kernel of truth in the 'we love you' of your rapists, because wouldn't it be nice for rapists to be at least a little capable of love and of genuinely finding good things in you? The truth is other: they were out to fucking get you. And you have survived, Casey. The abuse that your rapists probably suffered (and with which they tried to shit-stained you) and the abuse that your parents probably suffered (so that they can't recognize rapists from non-rapists) ends with you because you have been courageous enough to speak THE HORROR rather than telling 'we love you' to a drugged teenager. And to show now, to those who feel that shit is impossible to overcome, that bonding and love work, turns 'we did the best we could' into 'we are child molesters, and negligent'. I once was talking to the average irresponsible family. I was feeling uncomfortable thinking about the question that I was going to ask to the father: it was going to reveal that he was an ape. I suddenly had the best of ideas: I imagined him with red-gorging eyes and knife in hand, running quickly at me trying to kill me. And I didn't feel fear or discomfort (because I run faster than him!). At that moment I knew that the discomfort wasn't mine and went ahead and dispelled it: 'but you spend more time watching football than with your kids, don't you?' And as soon as I ended the question, I knew whose discomfort I was feeling, and as soon as I knew that, I realized that NEVER again I was going to feel the discomfort of petty, unambitious, irresponsible people. Much less of rapists.

Ich erinnere mich, an deinen Call!Damit, ich bin froh, dass du jenen dankst, dass um dich haben gekümmert, aber du bist jene, die der Kampf der Sucht persönlich konfrontiert, also ein dickes Lob an dich!Und ich verstehe auch, was du meinst: die "Reinigung" zu tun, das ist schmerzhaft! Aber es wäre noch schmerzhafter und schwieriger -wenn nicht unmöglich- später im Leben.Also, ja, rede uns bitte über das "stuff that matters", entweder hier oder beim PM: zumindest sind wir nicht Videospiel-Süchtige!

Hello! I'll be landing in Beijing next Friday and, out of over 20 million inhabitants, I know zero. The company I am going to work with will take care of lodging from the start, which means that I am not asking for your sofa, but still, if you think you are worth knowing and chatting with, I will be most pleased to find that out!

I don't have stats, but I would say Aesop has (nominative aside!) much more flection and hepax legomena than Caesar and, certainly, the Vulgate. And yes, Cicero's speeches are top-notch verbal abuse (ie, 'complicated sentences'), although the bulk of his work remains correspondence, as nice and dandy for starters as Caesar's.

I see. Well, since you mentioned the Cambridge course, there is a videos series that deals with (and complements) that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if4XZVFTK5A Also, from the same guy, 'Learning Latin with Virgil', which is great if you do it with a notebook by your side and write down the Latin sentences while pronouncing them out loud WITHOUT looking at the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfxK6fC2v6c But I gather from the earlier part of your message that you are more advanced than that already. So, there is another channel that deals with intermediate grammar and Catullus' work (pronounced in the most elegant manner, no Late-Medieval Filo-Italian quacking): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC30yV4OSzNd_uDJ9c1OFXBg Other than that, and if you want to get some serious traction, I would get some Latin audios of works you are already familiar with (the Gospels, Caesar, Cicero...) and listen to them regularly while pronouncing them at the same time: you will internalize the patterns, absorb a lot of vocabulary and succeed in your literary life*! *This last step is not yet guaranteed by the FDIC.

Of course, all the girls are talking about it! Here's the podcast: http://areena.yle.fi/radio/2178991 And here the glossaries: http://oppiminen.yle.fi/kielet-kulttuurit-piilotetut/latina/nuntii-latini?ref=leiki-op Sure: while taunting in the dark anything you find somehow helps.
