Watched a couple episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer in German with no subtitles. No real issues. I plan on tackling a few more Assimil lessons later tonight as well.
What continues to amaze me is that even with intensive Mandarin and Spanish study, it is still German that enthralls me like no other language. I get lost sometimes in German in a way that I don't get with other languages. I wish I knew what it was about German that has this power over me.

Ich verstehe ganz genau Ihre Zuneigung zur deutsche Sprache. Wenn ich andere Sprache lerne, fühle ich mich müde,
als ob es Arbeit ist, aber mit dem Deutsch, wird es nur ein Genuss. Ich weiß auch nicht warum...Viel Spaß beim
lernen.

Would the two of you like corrections for your German?
Kind regards!

@Josquin, Thank you. I would appreciate correction as well. I already see one problem. It should be zur
deutschen Sprache, although now that I look at this, I wonder if zu is even the right preposition... perhaps it
should be für? I think zu changes the meaning? I don't know, but will leave it to your expertise.
Vielen Dank in Voraus.
@BaronBill, My apologies for replying to Josquin via your log. I think it may be bad etiquette, but am also not an
expert in that area, either. Entschuldigung.

Ich freue mich sehr auf deine Fortschrittsberichte. Übrigens, was sind "Inseln"? Und wie weißt du, ob deine Übersetzungen ins Deutsche korrekt sind? Arbeitest du mit einem Tutor oder benutzt du Lang-8, oder wie?
Viel Glück! |

Danke der Nachfrage. Das Konzept der "Inseln" ist aus dem Buch von Boris Schekhtman, das "How To Improve Your Foreign Language Immediately" heißt. Es ist ein tolles Buch! Ich empfehle dieses Buch sehr. Im Grunde ist eine Insel ein kleiner, grammatisch korrekter, gut auswendig gelernter Monolog.
Ich werde Lang-8 für die meisten meiner Korrekturen benutzen.
Viel Spaß!
