Was habe ich heute gelernt? Ich habe über ein Gespräche anfangen, Leute und Dinge, die
Familie und von Verwandten reden, und das Zimmer im Haus gelernt. Ich habe auch über
ich/du/ihr gelernt. Ich habe auch ein Anki-Deck gemacht.

I am learning German base vocabulary (~400 words), per this page:
http://www.towerofbabelfish.com/the-method/vocabulary/base-v ocabulary-
list/#.UcjWGvkd5LU . I've created an Anki deck and am reviewing and reviewing. It's
rather frustrating, because I can't seem to get the gender right. I might mention that
I'm also a perfectionist. I might also mention that I am afraid of making mistakes in
gender. Maybe that has something to do with me learning French at school.
Speaking of French...
Aujourd'hui, j'ai decouvri que j'ai oublié beaucoup de mots français. Je ne peux plus
écrire en français mieux que quand je l'apprendais au lycée. Je voudrais commencer voir
des films français et je les trouve avec les sous-titres sur YouTube. Je trouve que le
français est plus facile que l'allemande. La grammaire française est plus facile et le
français et l'anglais partagent beaucoup de vocabulaire.
Maintenant, je lis les journaux français, comme Le Monde. J'ai telechargé un plugin
pour mon Web-Browser qui s'appelle Google Dictionary. Quand je double-clique (double-
appuie?) un mot français étranger, il me dit la tranduction française. C'est pour les
autres langues, aussi, comme l'allemand, l'anglais, et la langue russe.

It turns out that I have the old Living Language German book+audio. It doesn't have the fancy blue lines or
the fancy audio icons, but I don't really care because it looks like it has a lot of grammar explanations in it, to
counteract my vocab-heavy Learn German the Fast and Fun Way. I also suff... I mean practiced some more
Anki.

Today, I complete Unit 1 in the old LL book (Living Language German: Learn in 4 Simple
Steps: Words, Phrases, sentences, conversations). I am no longer using the new LL
German book because I find that the old one is more useful and has more content, though
it isn't printed in color and doesn't have any fancy Adobe-Illustrator-esque page
design. So, how is this book structured?
Literally four steps, as the book title says
Basically, there are 10 units. In each unit, there are four lessons. The first lesson
introduces words, the second introduces phrases, the third has sentences, and the
fourth has conversations. It's actually quite interesting, because in the first few
lessons, the phrases and words introduced sometimes have no relationship (like der
Zufall in a lesson about das Büro), but then, all the words/phrases you learn in the
early lessons are put together in the last lesson, conversations.

Unit 1's two conversations revolve around Herr Huber, who is waiting at a bus stop at
night. Huber ist beruflich in München. He starts a conversation with Sabine. Little
does he know that Sabine is actually his boss...

Today, I read that it takes ~225 hours of instruction (estimated by DW) to reach an A2.2
level in German. If I have three months of summer vacation, I would have to study two
hours per day to reach 225 hours. But I still have 9 months before the actual ZDP/A2
test, and I'm aiming for B1, which takes 300 hours, as estimated by DW.

I've gone through Unit 2 Lesson 5, where vocabulary pertaining to family members and
vocabulary about rooms of a house were introduced. For grammar, I learned how to
conjugate regular verbs.

I've gone through Unit 2 Lesson 6: Phrases. This lesson was very grammar-heavy. I
learned all the possessive pronouns. I learned that in the plural form of possessive
pronouns, the ending is -e, while the singular form is -e for feminine words. I also
learned phrases to describe marital status and a wedding/divorce. Ich bin verheiratet
und schwanger. Was sage ich, ich bin ledig und ein Mann*.
I also learned about indefinite articles, again. I'm awaiting my Hammer German Grammar
and Usage book's arrival...

Disclaimers and such:
*as in male, not husband

I have completed all of Unit 2. In Unit 2 Lesson 7, I learned negation with kein and how
to court my romantic interest in German. In Lesson 8, I heard two dialogues, one was
about a couple shopping for a house and then the boyfriend randomly proposes to the
girlfriend while touring a house. Later, they are planning a wedding party.

Memrise pour l'allemand
Aujourd'hui, j'ai commencé à utiliser Memrise pour apprendre la vocabulaire allemande.
J'ai fini niveau un d'un cours removed-1000-words-of-elementary-german">ici. Il va m'enseigner un mille mots en
allemande. Après, je vais commencer german-gcse-vocab-list/">ce cours, qui va m'enseigner la vocabulaire nécessaire
pour passer le GCSE (mais je n'habite pas en Angleterre).

Memrise pour le français
L'année dernière, j'ai commencé un cours à Memrise, mais maheuresement je n'ai pas
continuer à apprendre. Je vais commencer
audio/">le cours maintenant.

..maintenant, j'écoute de la musique croate et sami quand j'apprends les langues
