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.
