Today, I'm going to continue using Duo lingo. I know last week was spring break so I didn't went to Duo lingo because I was too busy playing video games and I didn't feel like going on Duo lingo. Right now I'm 4% fluent in German. I already learned some German skills, so now I'm learning the accusative cases and the intro.

Over the past week, I have learned a chunk amount of German. I learned some basic nouns like Junge (boy), Madchen (girl), which has two dots above the letter a called an umlaut, Wasser (water) and Brot (bread). all nouns in German are capitalized. I also learned phrases like hallo (hello), tschuss (bye), bitte (you're welcome), and guten morgen (good morning). I am hoping to learn more German this week and the week of spring break.

Hey everybody, I'm back. Today, I'm going to a website called Duo lingo.com to learn German. I don't know if I am going to remember the words because the language is very complicated and it takes a lot of effort. I do know some words in German like Hello, thank you and car. I'm going to write a blog translated in German to show you guys how much I learned. I'm pretty excited for this project. I am expecting to learn as many words as I can by the end of this project.

My 20% project

Proposal: learning German

Getting to learn some words in German

 

Needs and Opportunities

Some problems that I have on this project is that I really don’t speak any German and that it is actually difficult to learn because it requires a lot of practice and effort.

Audience / Clients / Users

This project will benefit me in speaking other foreign languages and it will benefit my social skills and reading knowledge.

Mentors

I would have some German teachers from any grade to help me on learning basic words in German. I would also ask them any materials that I need for my project.

Reality Check

I am not going to need a bunch of materials since this project is just learning a foreign language. Some things that I need are flashcards, and my laptop.

Conclusion

I am excited for this project because I enjoyed learning English since I came to this country, and now I want to learn a new language that I never learned before. I am also excited because I get to know myself much better than before.
