    44. Slow by designs Kleine Deutsche Lehre Teil 1 Nr.1 GESCHLECHTSWÖRTER

    44. Slow by designs Kleine Deutsche Lehre Teil 1 Nr.1 GESCHLECHTSWÖRTER Here's the gist of why I'm doing this series: Learning German was always high on my list of life-long achievement goals. While I speak reasonably well for someone who has spent a total of one 2 years actually living and speaking the language on a daily basis (not consecutively), the grammar side of it has always eluded my brain. (I'm a very slow learner.) Also, professionally I'm a cellist and recently I began teaching a native German speaker and that student would rather not have it in English. I'm cool with that because it is a chance for me to improve and use the German I know. However, I'm quite nervous about it every week and find it hard to form nice sentences, etc. I'll be using an old German Grammar Lesson Book entitled Kleine Deutsche Lehre or "The Little German Lesson" (anyone with a better translation, please let me know). It walks one through the types of word classes, parts of speech, and conjugations. This will be my own study of Grammar. Today's episode is about Geschlechtswörter, or the articles: der, die, das; ein, eine, ein. #learngerman #germangrammar #conjugationingerman #germanlanguage

    39. POEM "Thanksgiving Day", a Nostalgic Reading

    This is a reading of "Thanksgiving Day", a POEM by Lydia Maria Child. At first, my eye stopped over the opening of the poem because of a phrase that is well known and oft-repeated, or at least it was as a child. Then it became more of a nostalgic experience due to my current living situation, living abroad.  That first phrase goes like this, "Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go".  Or does it? LOL  I was quite surprised to find out that there were two differences that I had not previously known. Listen to find out.  ________________ Subscriptions or turned on for $4.99 per month.
