Up and running

I've made it almost halfway through German level 1 on Rosetta Stone. Finally got it working on my laptop about a week ago and I have been working with it daily ever since. Writing in German has become the hardest part for me because all nouns are capitalized and there is a lot of unpredictability with the language just like English. I can now say simple stuff in german like every day words and phrases. I just need to start thinking about what I am going to write for my book and to what extent i should do rosetta stone so that I know enough german to at least do a sizeable short story. 

Learning the basics

Trying out my new rosetta stone app in class. So far I've learned that to travel or to drive is fährt in German and i think that's pretty funny because it sounds like fart. German is an awesome language. I've also learned how to say the man/woman runs, which is "Der mann rennt" and "Die Frau rennt". I've also learned different types of foods. Bread is "brot" and rice is "reis". I'm planning to do the 2 month program on rosetta stone so by april or so i can start working on my book or short story. I might even do some political cartoons in German. Auf wierdershen!
