if your keyboard doesn't allow for an u-umlaut, and in the same way if you keyboard doesn't have ß


(If you are running Windows)

Ä = (hold) alt + 0196
Ö = alt + 0214
Ü = alt + 0220

ß = alt + 225
ä = alt + 132
ö = alt + 148
ü = alt + 129

If you are running Mac then the codes will be different but they exist, just google them.

whether DW is correct in saying it takes about 400 hours to get to a low B1.


I guess I have put in about 400h, but I'm still at A2.
But:
a) I seem to be mentally challenged.
b) DW levels are lower than the "true" levels. Eg., I got about 82% on their A2 test a
couple of months back, and I was not A2. A month after that test (during which I
continued my study), I gave the placement exam for the course I am taking, and I got
placed into the A2.2 class.

I need another 150h or so to get to low B1, and then maybe another 100h to get to high
B1.

I believe that by around late September I am hoping to be around a very low B1 and I probably would have put in
around 500 hours. Thanks for the reply by the way!

You're welcome!

Have you considered putting up a log here? There are a few of us who are on the same
level. I am considering starting a study group if there is interest so that we can learn
off each other.

After my exams end next week, I am thinking of putting up a log. Not only to keep a record for myself but also to
share my language learning experience with people as I've really enjoyed reading peoples logs.

This week I did not have reliable access to Toggl so I just studied without logging time.

German:
Did most of Hugo chapter 11. The quantifiers and identifiers section was ridiculous. So many rules, and so few examples. Who the hell can remember even half of the rules from the chapter???
The attached sentences part was better, but I need a lot of practice on this.

German reader: Chapters 3 - 9
The genitiv case is kicking my butt. But it gave me some good points to ponder and make my lack of knowledge clear. There were also sentences which had words I already knew, but which made use of the words in a manner which was surprising to me.

Last week I slacked off, did only the German class.

Today I am feeling down. My butt is getting kicked in the class. Mainly in vocabulary. And also in the speed in which many of the others can complete the exercises. I need lots of time, and when I am halfway done, these others have already finished the work. What irks me is that the others do not put in any extra time, many even skip classes, they just seem to retain learning better.

When I started just a few weeks ago, I was ahead, and now I'm behind. I'll go mope in a corner now.
