Went over the three forms again regarding a few verbs but I am certain I will have to do it again and again to solidify it.
Watched Extr@ Episode 1 auf Deutsch. Those two girls are cute. Edited by Irish_Goon on 26 March 2013 at 3:44am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Still slow going. Seems funny, while learning Spanish it was easy AT FIRST but became difficult to reach an acceptable level. German on the other hand has a level of difficulty from the beginning, especially since I am not going full force. Does this seem normal to you guys?
Also is there a good online and/or paper dictionary for German that anyone can recommend? Spanishdict was invaluable for me with Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Danke Fasulye.
I recently did lesson 3 and went back over drills in lesson 2 although there are some words and concepts that are not sticking yet. Feels kind of refreshing to go at a slower pace, it seems to keep the excitement. Even if I do not have enough time to do a lesson I will watch (or listen) to Extr@ auf Deutsch. I can't understand a great deal (even though it's basic stuff and spoken super slow) but the beauty of it is that I don't care so it doesn't feel like any added pressure. That way I can enjoy my experience with it. Have any of you begun a language at a slower pace and enjoyed it more than just going at a really intense pace? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Irish -
I'm learning German as well at a very slow pace. I've actually been to Germany 2x in the last 2 years and I'm still only on Level 3 of Rosetta Stone & I've been studying this for 2 years I think. I'm going at a very slow pace. When I was in Germany in the hotel room, well German TV was hilariously campy. One show was about Germans wearing Native American things in a log cabin for tourists and the other one was a reality show about a family that was buying a SUV & it was really awful but campy as anything. German is a struggle for me & I'm also going at a relaxed pace. I got that book of drills to help me with the verb endings and that really helped but now I think it's going into future tenses with wurde etc and I'm still not comfortable with that yet. I read Bild a lot & on about.com there's a place for German newspapers and magazines, I'm sure you know about it. I just found another one that is fairly easy JOLIE which is some women's online mag through them. Hope alles ist weil for you. :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
