Ich lerne Deutsch

Ja. Ich lerne Deutsch, aber Ich spreche ein wenig Deutsch. At this point I can write in German pretty well, my speaking is progressing as I am using a lot more German with my dad. I still can't hold a conversation though, just words and phrases. I am almost done with unit 2 of level 2 on Rosetta Stone and the difficulty is really picking up. I find that I have to review the material a lot more than I did in the earlier lessons. At this point it seems like writing a whole story in German might have been a stretch considering the amount of time I had to do this project. I am thinking about writing some short stuff like letters or making political cartoons in German and maybe getting involved in the online Rosetta Stone community where I could skype some native speakers of the language and really learn how to speak it. The whole point of this project is to learn the language and use it, so that is what I am going to do.
