Konjugation Galore!

Hallo! The German class last Saturday was AWESOME! It was my first day with Frau Nerri (The teacher/Die Lehrerin). I was originally scheduled to take the Intro Deutsch in another class but chose to be with Frau Nerri instead.

Nevertheless, I joined the class which is on its 3rd meeting! I was a bit excited for she speaks fluently in German/Deutsch. One thing that surprised me was that, she seldoms speaks in English, instead, she monopolizes the discussion with phrases and statements in naked German! :-D

At first, she entered the room and bombarded us with questions about our assignments (at least I know what she was talking about back then haha!) but when she started asking individually, I was trembling and can't even speak even using the local dialect!

Fortunately, I was able to cope up fast with the help of my classmates and Frau Nerri herself. She was good but she left us something to do at home! Konjugation galore! Among the basic statements I learned are listed below. :-) Enjoy!

Hehehe. Kind of difficult to read but the pronunciation is quite straightforward. They are pronounced as they are spelled most of the time. That's what I like about the German language. Thanks for dropping by! Bis zum nächsten mal!
