Formal vs. Informal

You use formal language such as Frau, Ihnen and Sie when: — you don't know someone, at least not well — they are your senior or boss — it's someone you wouldn't let touch your drumsticks

You use informal language such as Geht's, Dir and Du when: — they have said it is okay to talk informally — you are friends or know each other well — it's someone you play karate in the garage with

Describe our apartments with the basic words we learned in class. This is definitely wrong and will update when I have the proper translation.

Woche drei: Dienstag Klasse Noten

V O C A B

When everyone says their homework there are always extra words that get written on the board. This happens a bit throughout the class and I have random words written down that don't necessarily come with a sentence. I'll now just throw all these under 'vocab' for some extra words I can learn. Given most words from this lesson are still food related, as our homework was to recite a recipe.

Ich Liebe Spotify

Spotify has some pretty awesome resources for learning another language, especially for increasing your vocabulary. I've started to compile a whole bunch of audio lessons—not sure which are best yet but everyone learns differently anyway. Of course I've also thrown Helen Reddy in there, like any psych mix it has to lead with an anthem.
