Announcement:

If you want me to help you with pronunciation, but you can't actually make it to a Skype session, you can always send me a voice recording of the lesson text or of vocabulary. I can then give you feedback.

[Diamat]

First Optional Skype Session will be held tomorrow at 11:00 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada).

The session will last for approx. 30-45 mins. Please be familiar with the course material. I will try to avoid lecturing, and instead practice pronunciation and conversation skills.

[Diamat]

The answers to the first assignment have been posted in the relevant assignment thread. There you will also find who has and has not completed the assignment.

Another small assignment will follow in the next few days, and near the end of the week, you will receive your first test. Then, as of the third week, things will get more fast-paced, so brace yourselves.

Assignment 2 is up and running.

[Diamat]

Assignment 2 answers are up.

[Diamat]

I'll have the next assignment up some time on Tuesday, giving you some time to read over the material first. I'll also start a new discussion soon in the Let's Talk Thread. Brace yourselves.

[Diamat]

Note: For this week's chapter, you do not need to know how to tell time. That's for the next lesson. For this lesson, focus on learning all the various verbs, all the other vocabulary (including gender articles), how to say you're doing certain things or like doing certain things, and the German numbers.

[Diamat]

Assignment 3 is up and running.

Also, I posted a new grammar extension module and initiated a new conversation in the "Let's Talk" thread.

[Diamat]

I will have another Skype session this Saturday at 11:00 AM (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada). We will practice mostly the material from this Week (Week 3).

[Diamat]

Everyone, please participate in the "Let's Talk" thread. Whenever I pose a new prompt in bold red, it means everyone should try to answer it.

[Diamat]

Assignment 4 is up! Your second test will be coming this week too! It will mainly cover this and last week's material.

Your second test is up.

[Diamat]

Please everybody participate in the "Let's Talk Thread." I will make much use of this thread for this last chapter instead of individual assignments, since there is so much grammar stuff that needs to be practiced.

This is our last chapter too, so we will take it step by step. At the end of this week, I will post a short final exam, which is basically just writing a short essay with stuff you learned.

Meanwhile, feel free to ask questions! The course is almost over so take advantage of the time we have left.

[Diamat]

Please everyone participate in the Let's Talk Thread. The course is almost over.

By the way, everyone should have received their test back. Let me know if you haven't yet.

[Diamat]

Your final exam is up! All students must participate!
