learn german

F bought me this set a few months back now. I have started listening to the CDs and working through the books. It’s so hard to find the time to sit down and do it though. (I feel like I’m always complaining about not having enough time to do things!) I’ve loaded all my German podcasts and CDs onto my ipod so I can listen to them while I am traveling around SE Asia for the next month. Will be interesting to see how much sinks in!

As a reward I will book a hoilday to germany next summmer where I will go hiking and vist landmarks.

Grr, I do not like separable prefixes!

This might be a whim, and I don’t expect to start immediately, but at some point I would like to learn German. I think the sense of accomplishment, and foreign langauges being so damn sexy, will be enough to encourage me.

Came across my old college German textbook. Guess that’s as good a place as any to start to relearn German. I’ve forgotten so much of it that I will pretty much have to learn it all over again. I picked it up pretty quickly in college. Hopefully, I have enough of a mind left to learn it again without too much difficulty.

Just learned to roll my rrrs although I still need practice : )
I also just got a verb drill workbook so I’m excited about doing that. I’m also listening to Pimsleur everyday. The library has audio books and amazingly they have all of the German ones.

It’s been 5 months since I went to my very first class.
I don’t know how to say many things, but it’s like what I said.. I’m working on it! :)

I lost motivation the 1st time.. but want to seriously get back into it.

And I passed! Well, I did something more than pass…hehehe…93.5 / 100 it’s a hell of a note, right?

So, third level accomplished, now I’m on fourth grade and willing and able to do it.

The key to the next year will be immersion, lots of reading, lots of hearing, lots of conversations…so I’d better be starting!!!
