Description: Duolingo (Basics, Phrases, Accusative, Food, & Animals)

I spent an hour or more going back through Duolingo and acing all of my prior work. I used Duolingo a fair bit a year or two ago and have started up again. On all of the portions I got a perfect or near perfect score, so I'd say it went well. ]]> 2017-03-15 13:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/160242427 eyates2 https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/160243840
Description: Conversed with a German friend over a video call

My friend, Chiara, lives in Detmold. I've been good friends with her ever since she came to my high school on exchange. We discussed proper pronunciation and my various quirks with the language. We talked for nearly an hour about the language.]]> 2017-03-15 13:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/160243840 eyates2 https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/171486050
Description: Listened and repeated Das Deutsche Alphabet song. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxQXEyMMC0E)

I knew I would feel very lame reciting this song, but I also knew that it was the best way for me to learn the alphabet properly. I feel much more confident know with the sounds. ]]> 2017-05-12 13:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/171486050 eyates2 https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/171487885
Description: Visited Germany

I spent over a week in Germany (Detmold, Düsseldorf, and Köln) with my friend, Chiara. I met a lot of her friends while there and now consider them my friends as well. They helped me with anything that I wanted translated and helped me with pronunciation. I picked up an assortment of random words and phrases from TV commercials, roadway signs, public transport signs, and more. ]]> 2017-05-12 13:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/171487885 eyates2 https://padlet.com/eyates2/cohyzhw9h5r8/wish/171489425
Description: Watched the Borussia Dortmund vs. AS Monaco Fußball match.

I was going to watch both matches anyways, so I figured I might as well watch them with German commentary and German subtitles. Before the match I looked up a vocabulary list of terms I might hear during the match.)

Description: Reviewed the Nominativ case with the help of this youtube video. After taking a break from class for a couple weeks, I found it helpful to review some basic nominativ cases before I started reviewing the akkusativ. Not everything in this video was clear, but it helped me review in the work done in class more easily.

Description: Continued on my review for the day with the akkusativ case. After reviewing the nominativ, I felt like I was back in the German mindset. That helped me focus and remember what we learned in class. Not everything in this video was clear, but it helped me review in the work done in class more easily.

Description: Reviewed what was emphasized in class this week by watching a youtube video talking about the dativ case. There were moments in class when I thought I knew exactly what I was doing, then there were instances when I couldn't have been more lost. I am finding it easier after today's lab and this video.
