Dictation is always challenging, but it's a great tool to honing those listening-comprehension skills.

Try putting the volume on insanely high; that's what I did.

Re: [Assignment 2] Dictation
Actually, I've always found listening easier than writing in the case of German because it sounds a bit like Old English. I had no trouble knowing what the English translation was. The hard part was looking up how to spell the German original
Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII
How Do You Turn This On
Re: [Assignment 2] Dictation
TWC has been ultra laggy for me, so I'll try to get this done now (not procrastinating, honest).

Answers:
1. Hallo, ich bin der Lehrer. Hello, I am the teacher.
2. Wie heißt sie? What's her name?
3. Haben Sie/sie Zeit? Do you/they have time?
4. Kennst du das Mädchen da? Do you know that girl there?
5. Die Frau ist nicht süß. The woman ain't cute.
Common mistakes in green: be sure to capitalize your nouns! And be careful with sie(singular)/Sie. You can tell the difference between the two based on how the verb is conjugated (e.g., sie hat versus Sie/sie haben, she has versus you/they have).
