This is a “sein” that I am learning German. His aka sein and her aka ihr have their nominativ and akkusativ forms and each again have their corresponding forms for masculine, feminine and neutral. At least the plural for his and her is always seine and doesn’t change with gender. Phew! Also, for singular, the nominativ and akkusativ forms are the same for both feminine and neutral making it a little easier.

Building German vocabulary along the way is also critical along with learning the grammar. But I don’t know how many times I had to look up the same word, it’s embarrassing! The real test comes when you hear the audio in the course and the sentences fly by and every time you recognize one word it’s like a firework in your brain. In that ecstasy you miss half of the next sentence. I wish the CD recordings were a little slower at least for the A1 students can absorb a little more. But anyways, we go over the new words the audio in our course book.

The fun began when we had to draw our classmate’s description of their house. I don’t remember how many years it has been since I drew eine Blume, ein Haus, ein Baum, ein Auto… 😊 😊 😊
