All these sentences are absolutely correct. Well done! By, the way you can't only buy fish at the KaDeWe, it's a gigantic multi-storey temple to consumerism where you can buy almost everything. I think it's Germany's largest department store . 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I like Schritte because it teaches me about cool stuff that actually exists (like the
KaDeWe). 7/19/13 I did Lektion 7 of Schritte 1 today. It was about hobbies and free time. Apparently, knowing how to describe your hobbies is an important part of the spoken portion of the A2 exam. I also read about Freizeitstress, which I can relate to. Keine Zeit für Deutsch lernen :( I did a voice recording in German for _2_weeks_now">Reddit today (BTW, I'm not a 19-yr-old from Philadelphia). I am absolutely sure that spoken communication (pronunciation and comprehension) will be my weakest point because I can't communicate with any German speakers. I regret that I didn't say some words that are hard for me, like möchten, nächsten, and bisschen. It's the ch sound that always gets me. I have a few questions about German. I've been listening to some German music that is sung by young people in a casual way. They never ever use aber; they use doch instead. Can doch be a conjunction that replaces aber? Is that only in informal situations? They also tend to leave off the endings of verbs ("ab heute les ich Bücher") and they say 'nen and 'ne instead of einen and eine.

Yes, they go together. But you always can tell who is the subject (Robert), because it is the one IMMEDIATELY AFTER the verb, and as you know in inversion the subject must always follow the verb (ruft Robert). That's how you know Robert calls Sofia and not the other way around. You will get used to it, I had the same problems at first. And it's not as ambiguous as Chinese sometimes gets when you have many verbs and subjects :) (to me of course being still a beginner!) In the second sentence, you invert "gehen". You ALWAYS invert the conjugated verb, never the infinitives. "Gehen Robert und Sofia in der Nacht spazieren?" (you have to pout "in der Nacht" after in the question because otherwise you are violating the word order in questions). Because you always invert the conjugated verb, you would invert "wollen" in the other sentence ("Wollen Robert und Sofia in der Nacht spazieren gehen?") 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I listened through episode 17 of Warum Nicht? I finished reading the Schritte 1 Kursbuch!! v=Q5PzgmVaYa8">"Es ist vorbei...", as my favorite German song would say. Now, it's time for me to do the Schritte 1 Arbeitsbuch. Thoughts It's been quite an interesting experience to complete a structured German-learning course. I feel like I've learned a lot, but yet so little. German no longer seems like the opaque blob it used to be, yet I'm still standing at the bottom of the mountain to fluency. I also should write more in German: Warum lerne ich Deutsch? Sprachen lernen ist mein Hobby und ich sprache Englisch, Chinesisch, Französisch und ein bisschen Deutsch und Norwegisch. Ich möchte nach Deutschland und Österreich in Urlaub reisen. (How would I say that I want to also go to Switzerland, since Deutschland and Österreich are preceded by nach while Switzerland is in der Schweiz? I want to say Ich will nach Deutschland, Österreich, und in der Schweiz reisen but I'm not sure if the prepositions are in the right places and if I'm allowed to make that grammatical construction.)
