Deutsch

Guten tag! Wie geht es ihnen?

I'm surprised that I haven't done an entry on Deutsch yet! O_o

For everyone confused, Deutsch is not Dutch! Deutsch is how Germans call their language. They sound different, but they're two completely different languages and people.

Where to begin?

I've been doing German for awhile now, and it's never been that hard for me because it just reminds me of American English. The two are Germanic languages after all. The writing is cake too!

In this lesson, I learned some important things, such as how to say

Or = Oder
One = Ein
Two = Zwei
With = Mit
Buy = Kaufen
Do = Machen

All of these are great to know, and it left me hungry for more. I'm glad I'm given things in pieces, because if I got everything at once, we all know that I'd probably only remember a couple of words. These words were put into sentences with phrases I already knew, so I was able to start asking things like, "What do you want to do?" That's a pretty useful question, especially since when you land in a foreign question, the first thing you're gonna need to figure out is what you're gonna do, right?

But here's what I need from my readers, I need practice partners! I'll probably make this its own entry, but eff it, why not start here?

If anyone is reading this and is fluent in German, I would love to practice with you. You can follow me on Twitter, and I'll be sure to follow you back. One of my Capoeira students is German, but I'm not sure how much he knows (I will DEFINITELY be finding out tomorrow, though!). But I digress, anyone willing to practice with me would be much appreciated!

Constructive tips, questions, and advice are always welcome!

Auf Wiedersehen,
