Intro German 11 -- RUDOLF!

Today we corrected last days homework (up to and including #15 from Kapitel 1). We learned the days of the week and we reviewed all the key concepts from chapter 1. Students began working on questions 16 and 17.

THERE WILL BE A CHAPTER 1 TEST DURING SECOND HALF OF TOMORROW'S CLASS!

. . . so study hard.

Oh, and we watched a funny German commercial, and we learned why some people refer to Germans as 'square-heads' and 'sauer-krauts'.

. . . and it appeared as though Melanie and Darby were fighting over a puppy (odd, I know)


Rudolf, we missed you. Else, we missed you too

Intro German 11 -- Careful when you raise your hand in class!

Students began by handing in their homework: several students did not have it completed! Yikes!

Today I handed back the tests from last day. We learned a few more greetings (Guten Morgen, Guten Abend) and we learned to ask how someone is (Wie geht's? Wie geht es Ihnen?).

We reviewed the Sag's Mal section of Kapitel 1.

No questions were done today from the textbook, but students were asked to do some review for homework.

Intro German 11 -- Test today

Today we wrote our first test. We reviewed the numbers. We focussed our review, though, on regular conjugation of verbs (e.g. Ich wohne, du kennst, er kommt). We also learned the important German verb sein -- to be.

Questions 1-5 from Kapitel 1 are due for homework tomorrow.

Intro German 11 - Test next day

Today we reviewed numbers and learned that there are an awful lot of dialects and derivations of the German language. We finished class with a quiz.
There will be a test next day, Thursday, on the Einführung (or introductory chapter). Study, Study, Study.
