To Ma'am Jeanne Arroyo.

To Ma'am Jeanne Arroyo,

Ang masasabi ko lang po ay G-E-R-M-A-N.

Salamat po sa:
German. Siyempre po, 'yan ang pinakagoal ko sa subject na'to. Ang matutunan ang mga basics ng German language. Sa isang semester po na pagtuturo niyo ng Deutsch, no wonder sobrang dami ko na pong natutunan although my blue book exercises does not seem not reflect that, but I'm assuring you that you did a good job teaching us. :)

At saka po gusto kong ibigay ang aking sincerest
Entschuldigung. Pasensya na po sa mga mediocre results ng mga blue book exercises ko. At saka for committing one absence. At sa madalas na matagal na pause 'pag tinatanong niyo ako ng oral questions. :)

And I'm more than happy na kayo ang naenlist ko, since
Rar ang ang mga katulad niyong profs. You make learning German-a hard language-easy for us. Walang masyadong pressure pero madaming matutunan. :)

At bago po tayo maghiwa-hiwalay, ang masasabi ko lang po
Machen Sie es gut! Para po madami pa kayo maturuan ng German. :) Kung hindi po ako nagkakamali, Take Care ang ibig sabihin niyan hehe.

Salamat din po pala sa lahat ng home
Arbeit. Dahil po sa mga home tasks eh napapractice ko 'yung language kahit wala ako sa school. At ska po it keeps me busy, as a freshman kasi, 'di maxado haggard, mabilis ako ma-bore. :)

Lastly, tinanggal niyo po ang aking
Neugier sa German language. Dati po talga, gusto ko magkaroon ng kaalaman about German kasi nga po, as I said in my post last year, dream ko po makapunta ng Luxembourg, eh ang German po ang isa sa mga major languages nila.

Thanks po sa lahat! Auf Wiedersehen!

P.S. Ipagpaumanhin niyo na po ang mga words na pinagsiksikan ko para maging start of the sentence lang. haha. bye po Ma'am!

Pinoy-German Exchange

Had this conversation in Pinoy exchange.


Too bad I won't be able to use it anymore as my German-language-learning journey will end next week. :(

Purrrfect

Haha. Yes, I perfected this German verb game ---> http://www.digitaldialects.com/German/Verbsinfinitive.htm


Examples:






Before Ending German.

It has been almost five months since I started learning German and it's amazing how my "Mein Name ist Jordan" turned into "Mein Name ist Jordan. Ich bin siebzehn Jahre alt. Ich bin ein freshman. Ich bin ein studierte BS Communication Research..."

One more chapter and this language class will end. It's time for me to evaluate myself whether I'm doing good in class.

INTRODUCING MYSELF (ÜBER MICH). This should be basic for someone who already spent months learning a language. As far as my name, age, where I come from, where I live, what I do, is concerned, I'm good to go.

GREETINGS (GLÜCKWÜNSCHE). Yes, I already know a lot of greetings, from different times of the day to holidays.

CONVERSATION (GESPRäCH). In our past activity which required us to converse with a partner, I think I did okay. I was able to interact with my partner and was able to answer all his questions using pure Deutsch. However, I know I still need a lot of improvement as I had some pauses and few grammatical mistakes.

ALPHABET (ALPHABET). Spell EASY.

USE OF VERBS (VERWENDUNG VON VERBEN). I know this lesson is quite easy, but I am still confused sometimes when using verbs. I still need to think of the imaginary table (of verbs) before I can be assured if the verb I'm using is the right one.

NUMBERS AND COUNTING (ZAHLEN UND ZäHLEN). I know I alreasy mastered eins (1) to einhundert (100). Haha. I also learned the mathematical operations.

CAFE (CAFE). I already know how to order drinks in a cafe, how to call the waiter if I want to pay already, how to ask for the price of the things I bought, how to read amounts of money, how to ask for the toilet, and many more.

EXPRESSIONS (AUSDRÜCKEN). I am already familiar of expressions over there like our version of buti nga sa'yo!, theirs is Vorsicht!. Our Ikaw na! is Besserwisser! over there.

GENDER OF NOUNS (GESCHLECHT VON NOMEN). :( I'm not good at this. I had a hard time memorizing or familiarizing myself with the gender of nouns in German. My expertise is when nouns are pluralized because I am only to use one artcle, and that's die! :)

DIRECTIONS (RICHTUNG). Passable. I know the directions' translation to English but I'm confused when to use some of them. It's because I was dreizig (30) minutes late when we were discussing this one.

W-FRAGE, AUSSAGESATZ, SATZFRAGE. I was absent when this lesson was discussed that's why I had a hard time answering Nummer sieben (7) and acht (8) of Seite vierundfünfsig (54) und fünfundfünfzig.

That's it, I think I'm doing okay but I know I can still improve. Especially with the use gender of nouns, and positioning of verbs, I know I'll be able to master it over time but for now, I will first focus on our current lessons and I'll just get back to them afterwards.
