As I write this, we have completed 4 of the proposed 9 sessions. The first lesson started with the alphabet and other sounds in German, as well as common abbreviations, and then progressed to conjugating various verbs in the present tense. Pronunciation was revised at the beginning of the next lesson and has been being perfected ever since.
In the second lesson, we explored German sentence structure in both simple and compound sentences, as well as pronoun changes from the subject to object, both direct and indirect. This was extended to nouns, including gender effect on the definite and indefinite articles, in the next lesson.
Lesson 4 gave us a break by looking at questions, number and time. Our knowledge of verbs was extended to the auxiliary (or helper) verbs.
It‘s been a cracking pace, but attendees are to be congratulated on their level of engagement. We are halfway to unlocking the language.
