Hello All! Sorry about last week! I just couldn't face spending hours on writing this last week. (by the way some of my keys are sticking, but i will try my best to catch my typos, but i may miss some!) Lets get started shall we?

News of the Week:

So i havent done muchthis week other than kn it a scarf i am making for my aunt for x-mas. i am almost done, i only have a few more rows, and then casting off, so i moved on to the scrapbook i am making for my mom. i have a bunch of old pictures of her as a kid, and i am putting them into a scrap book. i am hoping to find my camera, and take pics of each page so you guys can view them and tell me how much you love them. lol. now lets see... i went to my uncles house this weekend for Thanksgiving. we go every year. it was fun. other than that, i dont have any news... things have been slow here.... finals start soon, and then i will have about a month to relax, before school starts... then i will be working a lot more, so that i can afford to go on another road trip in the summer 2010. So far i know we are hitting St. Louis, San Fransisco, The Grand Canyon, New Orleans, and Wiliamsburg VA. i am sure we will also go to Arkansas to at least for a day to see my cousins new baby... though the baby will be two by then but thats ok i guess, since i cant afford to go befor then.

German:

This week we will do some grammer! German nouns are broken up in to 3 catagories; Masculine, Feminine, and Neutral. There is no trick to learning the words... it is not like in Italian or spanish where the feminine end in "a" and masculine end in "o"... from now on, when i give you wordsi will try to give you the article too. Masculine words get the article "der" (day-er), feminine get "die" (dee) and Neutral get "das". Also, all nouns have to be capitalized... all the time. So... here are some examples.

German: das Auto (AOW- toe)
English: the Car

German: das Haus (House)
English: the house

German: die Altstadt (AH-L-SHH-tat)
English: the oldtown

German: die Bar (BAH)
English: the bar

German: die Entschuldigung (EN-SHOE-L-dee-GUNG)
English: the apology

German: der Rhine (RINE)
English: the Rhine

German: die Stadt (SCH-dat)
English: the street

German: die Schokolade (SHOW-KO-la-deh)
English: the chocolate

German: das Becken (BEH-KUN)

Well i guess that is it for this week! Next week i have a whole planed theme, which will be fun! Though the German will be very advanced, but wee will plow through!!! it is great! see you next week!
