Grammar: In Lektion 4, we learned about adjectives with indefinite articles.

How the endings


would change the endings of nominative, accusative or dative sentences. For example: If a
sentence has a nominative then the verb will get the ending of its pronoun. For example if the
object is masculine the adjective will have er attached to it at the end. If the adjective is
feminine it will have e not only added to the ending of the adjective but also to the ein turning
it to eine. In Lektion 5, we discussed how to respond to someone when they invite you out to
restaurants, vacations, restaurants. How to accept or reject their invitation. We further learned
about adjectives with definite articles. Unlike indefinite articles of the adjectives, not all of the
adjectives take the endings of their appropriate pronouns. For example, Nominative adjectives
will end with an e regardless of whether it's masculine, feminine or neutral. On the contrary,
accusatives do take the ending of their pronouns. Ex: if a sentence has den then the adjective
will also end with en. Lastly in Lektion6, we learned about some more time prepositions such as
Um, Am, Vor, Seit etc and when and how to incorporate them in sentences. For example if a
sentence has seit in it, then the verb needs to be in present tense.

Vocabulary: In Lektion 4, we learned about grocery shopping and grocery items such as milk,
meat, bread, flour etc. We also learned about the different way grocery items are packaged. It
was nice seeing the similarities and some crossovers between English and Deutch when it
comes to grocery shopping. In Lektion 5, we discussed vacations, tours and famous sight-seeing
locations. Some words were a little bit difficult to remember because they are so long. For ex:
die Sehenswürdigkeit. The word Rundgage I had initially thought meant roundabout but it had a
polar opposite meaning. In Lektion 6, we learned about Festivals and theaters. Just like Lektion
5, there are a bunch of lengthy words and I have come to realize that a lot of vocabulary words
in Deutch are a lot longer compared to English.

Culturally: In Lektion 4, we saw in a video that the German grocery stores have triangle paper
bags for picking produce items which is very different from the grocery stores here. I have
actually not seen a Canadian grocery store that uses paper bags to pick up fruits or vegetables.
