I have neglected my blog yet again. So to make up for lost time *LOL* I’ll blog about some random stuff that’s happening or has happened to me for the past few weeks that I was MIA.

I have completed my Level 1.1 German language course last Saturday. So I’m expected to know how to introduce myself in German and ask simple questions like “Can I help you?”. Oh the German translation for that is “Kann ich Ihnen helfen?” in case you’re wondering. The difficult part of the whole course was learning the genders and the plural forms. You see in German almost all the words have gender. So the article to precede the word must be the correct gender. The definite articles are: Der, Die, Das (masculine, feminine, neutral). The indefinite articles are: Ein, Eine (masculine/neutral, feminine). Its difficult because there is no specific rule as to how to distinguish the gender of the word. You just have to memorize it. Some examples:
Garden: der Garten
Door: die Tür
Room: das Zimmer
Learning the plural form was hard as well. Its not as simple as adding “s” to the end of the word. And again there is no specific rule, you just have to memorize it. Some examples:
Babies: Babys
Years: Jahre
Beds: Betten
I might enroll for the next level which is Level 1.2. I might inquire about the schedule on Tuesday since we’ll have no work because of Taguig Day. So I have time to visit Makati on Tuesday. Hopefully, I get to buy some Christmas gifts as well at Glorietta or Landmark. I’m so excited for Tuesday!!
That’s all for now. Tomorrow I’ll be announcing the winners of my Christmas contest. Tschüss!
