Intro German 11 - Dummkopf und Schweinhund

Today we completed our chapter 3 unit test.
We also learned two classic German insults: der Schweinhund und der Dummkopf

We wrote intro notes for Kapitel 4.
Questions 1 and 2 from chapter 4 are due for next class.

I used the term False Cognates and explained how the word 'gift' is a false cognate: in English it means a present, but in German it means poison -- funny, eh?

Sorry for not keeping up on the blog -- the move to the new school has kept me hoppin' busy!
