23 November '13 - Logic is a little bird

Guten Morgen,


As you are doubtless aware, there is no school next week due to that little holiday known as Thanksgiving.

For Saturday's class, we spent most of our time working through logic puzzles designed to challenge, well, logic skills, as well as reviewing the dative case, family vocabulary, and comparative statements.

The rest of class was spent doing dramatic readings of dialogues intended to reinforce the common dative-pronoun phrases, including "es tut mir weh," "es tut mir leid," "wie geht's dir?" usw. They were quite dramatic! The two character parts in these were Jan Jakob and Jingleheimer Schmidt. Think about it for a second.

Homework for next class is as follows:

Compare yourself to Sven, our class mascot. In 10 full sentences, how are you alike or different? Use comparative statements.

Mit Vergnügen.
