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.
