Blog Daily Entry #1 : Learning How to Speak Deutsch

   

H-A-L-L-O----H-E-L-L-O in German...Ich bin Missy L--I am Missy L....

This is my daily Bog. I'll be writing about my life, my moods, my daily experiences , my opinions and everything under the sun..and I hope that if ever someone gets to read this..they will learn something or I could at least put a smile on their faces :)

I am a "Schulerin" thats a german word that means I am a student and I am enrolled and learning something,.. which is for now  basic German language.

I am actually almost half done with school and I now can understand  a little and can speak the basics of language .  

Getting to where I am now was tough..in the beginning I was confused and utterly asking..why and what the hell these Germans have to classify each person, thing, place to masculine, feminine, neutral...its kinda weird because in English we only categorize Person as to He or She, and  Animals or Things  we commonly pertain to 'IT'. 

DER-DIE-DAS....This is what they call German Noun Gender..one of the many German Articles all students who wants to learn German needs to memorize ... 

To fully understand this Ill give you some examples:

1. In English we call the thing we sit in as a Chair.... But in German..to them Chair is to be classified as a masculine gender so it is called DER Stuhl.... or The Chair.

2. In English we just say Man, Woman, and Child... In German they have to say Der Mann-The Man , Die Frau-The woman and the child-- this is classified as Neutral so it is said as Das Kind.

Its tough right...(hihihi!)  and to them Apple the fruit is masculine and neutral at the same time" der/das Apfel"...

I learned on my few weeks at school there is no shortcuts in learning German...I have to memorize each nouns and classify them to their Der-Die -Das...Because its the foundation on how I can build sentences..thus..slowly learn the language. 

....However its not so hard and dragging ...meeting new friends and attending school everyday is full of Fun too^_^ ...our teachers see to it that we have activities so we wouldn't get bored learning....

My Journey to learning Deutsch is still a long way...But for now..Im letting myself enjoy every moment of it...<3
