I took the liberty of suggesting a few corrections and lots of other changes that are just to make it sound more natural and this is the version that I'll record. Hope you find it useful.

Today is Saturday June 26, 2010. It's 4:30 in the morning, and it's the eleventh day that I've written in my diary. Just a note: this is from the previous day, Friday June 25.
Well, yesterday I got up at 1:30p.m, which is an hour and a half earlier than I got up the day before. Then I looked out of the window in my room and I saw my housemate lifting weights outside. I always have to laugh when I see him lifting weights. He always does it incorrectly. I used to go to the gym quite often in the past and I know how to lift weights properly, because a lot of body-builders have given me some advice about it. I tried to pass on some advice to my housemate too, but he didn't care. So thats why I have to laugh at him when I am seeing him to lifting weights.

...So that's why I have to laugh at him when I see him trying to lift weights. All the same, he is good, because he does exercise - he even uses a skipping rope, which is good for fitness. I should do it too. I mean, going to the gym used to be my hobby. I was really keen, but ever since I fell in love with learning languages, I have been focusing on that and not on going to the gym. It certainly shows on my body, because my body used to look really great - my muscles, my body...
But now? It is not really so good now, but I dont care. I just want to work on languages, because, like I said before, I'm going back to my own country in a few months and who knows what will happen then.
Anyway, at 2p.m. I started to write my German notes in my diary. It took quite a long time to write it - maybe 70 minutes. My vocabulary in German isn't really very good and I have to look up a lot of words in my dictionary.

...When I write my English notes in my diary, I don't have to look up any words, so it doesn't take so long to write it. I mean, I don't know every word. For example, today I wasn't sure how to say the phrases "lift weights" and "skipping rope", because I hadn't used them before. That's why I love this writing - I can really practise phrases which I really don't often hear. If I don't hear some words a lot, I can't remember them. It is all about repetition, as I mentioned several times before. So, thanks to this method of learning, I can practise everyday common, and even uncommon words and phrases. I will recommend it to all my friends who have a problem with learning languages. You know what, my diary, I have been doing it with my German for 6 days and I have already improved my German a lot in that short time.
Anyway, yesterday I should have gone to university because I had an appointment with my English teacher.

However, I was so lazy that I didn't go. I dont think that I missed much, because I did a lot of work at my home instead. I mean, conversations with him are great, but it takes long time to go there and then to get back. It takes me about an hour and a half to walk there. It seems to me like a waste of time, because I could do something else instead. It was really early for me anyway. He wanted me to come at 2:15p.m, so that means getting up at 12:45p.m at least, in order to eat and prepare myself.
But anyway, at 5p.m. I had a group conversation with Harry and with the Russian girl, Rassana. It was a special type of conversation. Harry chose some pictures and we were supposed to described the pictures. I found that I had problems with it at times. I wanted to do it because it is a good skill to practise. When you want to pass any English certificate, there will always be a description of something.

Anyway, at 8:15p.m. I had a German conversation with Reinhard. It took over 80 minutes, so it was quite long. I wrote a note in my diary about routine stuff and what I did the day before yesterday and I read it to him, so I even practised my German pronunciation. As we went though the text, he corrected the text and tried to explained what kind of mistakes I made. After the conversation he sent me a conversation report with the correct version and he even recorded the text, so I can listen to the text now - GREAT! I really like his conversations. At the end of the conversation, I arranged with him to have the next one on Monday.

Well, yesterday was a good day for my language studies. I did a lot of things in German as well as in English. I'm really looking forward to next week's statistics about learning in order to compare them with the previous week.
I must say that it took just a bit more than 30 minutes to write this note in my diary and as I said, I only used my dictionary for the two phrases that I mentioned before.
Well, that’s everything for today. Goodbye, see you tomorrow!
