Heute is Freitag, mein Lieglingstag!

We ended the week with assigned homework: Questions 12,13 and 14 from Kapitel 3.

We took notes on how to tell time:  the more complicated method.  Regina, Steffie, und Marco . . . all of this is information is in the textbook and you should be able to teach it to yourselves.  Oh, remember, you promised me a snapchat where Marco und Steffie tanzen am Fleugzeug!  I think Regina was going to film it.

Our Kapitel 3 test will be Donnerstag oder Freitag next week.  Start studying now and remember to go on DuoLingo and keep your German sharp.

Formation of questions and the numbers 21-100

Today we learned and took notes on how to form questions in German -- there is a section in Kapitel 2 that teaches this to you.  We completed questions 9, 10, and 11 which were questions about forming questions.

Then, to end class, we learned to count from 21 to 100 auf Deutsch.  This, too, is information provided in Kapitel 2.
