These included, hi good night, good morning, lets go, cheers, thank you, goodbye, please, excuse me, no, yes, whats up and see you later. I have learned the pronunciation and spelling for these words but some of them are harder than others and hence will need a recap.

The cases makes sense so far and I believe I will be able to use them given I understand when which should be used though I cannot recall by memory yet.

I ordered food in restaurants in German. During my time there I visited many Christmas markets and I managed to buy things using German. At first I was nervous about saying the wrong this and my pronunciation but the more I spoke, the more confident I became. ]]> 2016-12-06 19:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ctwickramarachchi1/fdnr6qut15vb/wish/142129366 https://padlet.com/ctwickramarachchi1/fdnr6qut15vb/wish/142136174 I missed the class where we learned the objects and rooms in a house so in order to learn the words and also learn how to spell them, I used the enchanted learning website. From the labs and the follow up classes I knew vaguely what some objects were but this website helped me to remember more objects and rooms and their genders.

So I listened and mimicked the letters and now I think I can pronounce most letters properly. I do still struggle with differentiating between the Umlaut letters but I think I'm slowly improving.

I can finally tell the difference between the three and I have tried to memorise the different endings and pronouns in the table on the link below.

It is easy to see the difference when the words are pronounced one after the other. My challenge will be to remember these in the future, and to reiterate them.

I have had coffee with them on more than one occasion and he helped me to remember certain words and to help me pronounce words. It is difficult for me to pronounce words especially with the rolling 'r' sound as my native language does not contain this sound. He especially helped me to learn how to pronounce this sound. I am also currently teaching my boyfriend things we learned in German. This has also helped me learn and memorise words and pronunciations.]]> 2016-12-06 20:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ctwickramarachchi1/fdnr6qut15vb/wish/142146460 munyeeyong https://padlet.com/ctwickramarachchi1/fdnr6qut15vb/wish/171626235 2017-05-13 16:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ctwickramarachchi1/fdnr6qut15vb/wish/171626235
