Indeed! My friend who I watched the movie with loved the movie as well. She is actually from a neighboring village as the actor that played the main brother in the movie and has met him mountaineering before. Thought that was interesting. Anyways, yeah I'm in Europe, so to speak. I've been here for two or so years now. On and off for the past year though I've been in Albania, where I am currently. My access to German language films is non-existent really, aside from the occasional DVD I grab off a German- speaking expat. Once (if) I head to Austria on a more permanent basis, I'll definitely have ready access. Are you looking for something in particular? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

January Challenge
Team Rätsel Gruppenmitglieder, Hiermit möchte ich mich vorstellen. Zum ersten Mal schreibe ich auf Deutsch. Ich bin Nieng Zhonghan. Ich möchte alle auf Deutsch schreiben, aber es ist leider sehr kaputt. Mein hobby ist Musik hören. Ich höre gerne europäische klassische Musik. Ich höre auch Musik von China, Japan, SüdKorea Russland, und ändere Länder von Asien. Leider kann ich nicht ein Instrument spielen. Ich mag sehr gern Sprachen lernen. Dieses Jahre will ich Chinesisch, Koreanish und etwas Deutsch lernen. Vielleicht will ich Russisch lernen, weil slavische Sprachen mich interessieren. Ich möchte auch mein Englisch zu verbessern, weil es sehr kaputt ist. Ich lerne Deutsch (Assimil) seit fünfte Januar. Ichh habe viel Spaß! Ich habe eine Frage. Was kann ich “Resource exchange” auf Deutsch sagen, bitte? Der Film: Ich habe noch nie einen Deutschen Film gesehen. Das Buch: Ich habe noch nie ein Buch auf Deutsch gelesen. Das Lehrbuch: Assimil Apps/game: Keine Ahnung. Ich habe jetzt kein Telefon. Das Audiobook: Ich habe noch nie ein Audiobook auf Deutsch gelesen. Was kann ich auf A0 oder A1 lesen? Vielleicht nur der Dialogue von Assimil. Haha. Die Songs: Diese Woche habe ich Silbermond, Juli, Christina Stürmer, Bosse, Revolverheld und Die Toten Hosen gehört, aber ich kann nichts verstehen. So, my basically my goal is to finish A1, read my first book in German, watch my first movie in German (either from Germany or Austria) and try to understand few lyrics of the groups I have mentioned above or others that I may find during the journey. If I get to accomplish this mission which looks possible, then, I should define some other realistic short-term goals. By the way, Ramblurr, thanks for sharing “Deutsch im Blick” course. I am not sure what kind of resources aside from Assimil and Germanpod101.com I will use. The latter is an interesting course because the level of the dialogues gets a bit more difficult each lesson. The course provides pdf files containing the vocabulary of the lesson, its translation, vocabulary sample sentences, vocabulary phrase usage, grammar points and cultural insight. I am going to practice some shadowing using the dialogues provided by this method. I can try DW courses, Lagune, Begegnungen A1 as well, but have not decided yet. I doubt I will borrow any grammar books. But if needed, I can borrow Grammatik A, Klipp und Klar, Langenscheidt Grammatik Intensivtrainer A1 among others. At the moment I am not in a hurry to do some drills and some other kind of grammar exercises. As everyone here is above my level, feel free to point out any mistakes you found in my text. I'd like to improve my writing, so I don't mind if you are strict with me. This is the first time I write something in German, so, obviously I don't know how native speakers or advanced level speakers' write more naturally.

Nieng Zhonghan, can't help pointing out mistakes (I barely notice mine), but let me just say that your
post looks really inspiring. If I hadn't exams to deal with I'd just added a textbook to my Duolingo+songs way of handling German. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Here's a music video I’ve always liked. The video quality of this home-made copy is substandard, but the original is nowhere to be found. The German lyrics are here.

Agh, quick rant: just started Deutsch Interaktiv, and I'm liking it, except that since it is
all flash I can't copy and paste text into another app like a text document or Anki. >:| 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That sucks. If you are using Assimil, and perhaps Hugo, that should be sufficient (at least from what others have said - I haven't used either). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

During one of my study breaks today I worked on preparing some aligned texts. Using the Listening-Reading method is one of my goals for German study, and reading texts that interest me is important. That is as opposed to whatever
public-domain or commercially available texts there are that may or more likely, won't be so interesting or suitable for my level. After no more than 30 minutes with ebook-convert from calibre, hunalign, and this great blog post I was able to cook up this: 
I was incredibly lucky I think. I had to do zero editing to the text files after conversion except for deleting extraneous front matter (title, dedication, etc). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Advice?
I just found out that my satellite tv provider has a German package of 6 channels. Because of the cost I'd have to basically cut off my current package and only have the German channels. At what point would be best to do this? A2? B1? 1 person has voted this message useful |
