German Study Group

[Iván]

Wie kann ich der Gruppe beitreten?

[vijayjohn]

Vielleicht kannst du uns helfen, eine Wortschatzliste für księżycowy aufzubauen. Da hab' ich noch nichts geschrieben.

Als ob du sie lernen würdest, wenn sie fertig wäre...

So, for this week (Aug 4-11), I think I'll finish up Kapitel 3 and review Kapitel 1 and 2. And I'll also try to catch up on my damn Anki deck (at least through Kapitel 4). I might try to squeeze in Kapitel 4 too.

I'd also like to start giving myself translation and writing challenges (bi?)weekly. I'll post those in my personal thread.

[vijayjohn]

I just added everything up to and including buchstabieren in your vocab list.

Anyone want to go through German Quickly together?
(*Waits for Vijay to respond*...Three....Two....One.... )

[vijayjohn]

Ja, aber you could wait for me to wake up first.


Wo finde ich dieses Buch?

[księżycowy]

I'll send it to you later, Mr. Sleep-In-All-Day.

[vijayjohn]

Danke schön!

I've gone through the first few lessons (I was working on 5 a few days ago, if I remember correctly), so what do you wanna do as far as this study group Vijay? I know a lot of this will probably be below your level, but I wanna ask anyway.

[vijayjohn]

Augenblick mal...du liest schon Lektion 5?
(I meant: Wait a minute...you're already reading Lesson 5?).

[księżycowy]

Yeah, I've had the book for a good week or two.

I am definitely interested. I like that book, except that I remember that last time I tried to use it I had to use the dictionary quite a bit, as not everything is included in its word lists or something. Which is fine with me anyway, really.

The only problem is I've signed up to the Twitter 6-week challenge with Ancient Greek, and I'm going to try to win at least 2nd place (which is usually accomplished by studying ~150 hours, i.e. 3.5 hours per day). I'll join you in mid-December for German.

[księżycowy]

Ok, will you be able to catch up, do you think? Or would you like us to slow down a bit for you?

I'll catch up, although I realize that maybe you'll be onto another textbook by then. German Quickly only has 34 lessons and you're done with 5...

[księżycowy]

I do expect to slow down a bit. Plus I think I'll make this week a vocab week anyway, so Vijay can get familiar with the text. (Not so much the language, because of his level, but the methodology and such. ) Plus I really should drill the vocabulary in some fashion anyway.

[księżycowy]

Hey, Vijay, wanna play teacher and quiz me while we make it through the book?
