The tests are picky. They really focus on little details that especially with German don't seem as important in
the real world. For example, I don't worry too much about noun gender when talking and it has no impact on
understanding but on those tests... Very important.

kraemder, Actually the test seemed fair, it focused on comprehension, and not on little
details.
So that why I was a bit bummed. Oh well. Thats life.

I started back on German today (was busy the last few days with work).

Begegnungen A1 Kapitel 5: Pages 120,121,122,123,124, 125 review.

DSFS: Half of Chapter 4

Hugo German: Chapter 2,3,4
(Got this course used recently based on a thread on this forum)
Liking the material as a review. The red roses dialogue was funny. "And what should I
get her husband". LOL.

-----Goal for this week------: Finish Kapitel 5 in Begegnungen A1.
DSFS: Chapter 4+5
Hugo German: Chapter 5+6

I will restart Assimil once that darn Kapitel 5 lesson is done.

That A1 book has 8 lessons. Wonder how I'm gonna be able to finish A1 book + A2 book
this year

PS: Weekly dose of ItchyFeet.

Hi Gemuse - I'm also learning German! It looks like you're making great progress.

I'm taking a class, working through the book that we're using in class (German Conversation Demystified), and watching Extra Auf Deutsch videos on youtube.

Those comics that you post are very funny. Did you buy the book?

Hi Gemuse,

Sorry you didn't quite pass your test this time. I'm following your progress with
interest :)

Yes, the red rose dialogue was fun. Wait until you start your Assimil.'Oh, Gott!' has
tickled me irrationally since I did that particular lesson...It's the way he says it...

Weiter so!

Which book is that Kim?


yantai_scot, I have actuaoy done about 30 or so lessons on Assimil (its on hold
currently). But yeah, the way they speak makes it stick in your head. I remember the
ganz mager Katze who was shaking all over.
