1on1 class notes - German
We covered quite a bit of material today, usually I don't write about the calss but I think it will be helpful to write my notes and also complete the house work right afterwards, rather than let it go until the last minute (or not do it at all).
DW - Raus aus der Anstalt - hearing comprehension and discussion (need to re-read)
Lektion 13 in Schritte 6 ex 25-26 (can write out)
DW - Guerilla mit Blumensamen - reading and discussion
More Passiv Verb usage -- I really need to work on verb forms and understand them intuitively.

1on1 class notes - German
We focused on content principally from DW - Gedopte Gesellschaft and sentence exercises. A bit disappointing, I was doing less shadowing this week and speaking felt less smooth - need to get back to that. Amazed at the difference.
I suggest to all that you be highly active is giving feedback, selecting material and explaining what works and what does not in any one on one classes you take from the first day forward ...
---
More work on passive prefect sentences ...
