Prima! Es froit mich! Meine Deutsch ist screcklich!

Lola, thanks for that information. Sounds like a learning method right up my alley!

jrmeier---Ihr Deutsch ist ziemlich gut, aber die Rechtschreibung ist doch schrecklich!

Perfect. Thank you for the tip. I was looking for a step after Duolingo to improve my Italian.

I started the Spanish one today. Found I could read about 75_% of what they said, and could click on the links for what I did not comprehend. The listening aspect was good.

jrmeier hat doch gesagt, daß sein Deutsch schrecklich sei.

Ja alles heir hast Recht. Ich muss verklich Bufflin.

@ jrmeier ....Es ist egal, dh, macht doch nichts, ob Ihr Deutsch wirklich schrecklich ist. Sie haben allerdings die richtige Einstellung, um sich in der Sprache zu verbessern. Wunderbar !

Thanks for the recommendation. These look great!

Here's the direct link; they currently show French, Spanish, German, and Italian: http://www.newsinslow.com/

I did an officer exchange with the German Air Force.

I found watching Headline News Network worked well for me, they repeat the same stories every 15 minutes. Each time through I was able to get more of the story and develop an ear for German. It also helped me improve my German accent. When I arrived, I'd greet someone in German and they'd respond in English. After a couple of weeks, I'd speak German and they'd respond in German - I figured I was doing pretty well.

I had studied German but was only getting some of what I heard. I learned that I was missing the proper nouns, names of places and people, that were peppered throughout the sentences.

Finished four days and I am finding it very interesting. They cover mostly local ( Latin America) news, but also interesting things from all over. Today I learned something about the new U.K. 5£ note which I will post in the England forum.
