I've imported the first five lessons of a new beginner collection " Ab jetzt lerne ich Deutsch! Auf Reisen - Traveling". This collection is for Beginner with some knowledge. It contains conversation which could happen if you travel. Have fun with them and let me know how you like them.

The first lessons are about asking for the direction.

Ich habe die ersten fünf Lektionen einer neuen Anfänger-Sammlung "Ab jetzt lerne ich Deutsch! Auf Reisen - Traveling" importiert. Das ist eine Sammlung für Anfänger mit wenigen Vorkenntnissen. Hier finden sich viele kleine Dialoge mit Situationen, die sich auf Reisen ergeben. Viel Spaß und ich würde mich freuen zu hören, wie sie Dir gefallen.

In den ersten Lektionen geht es darum, nach dem Weg zu fragen.

Good timing, Vera. My German study has slowed drastically now that summer is over, but I'm still at it and was running out of easy material.

Good to know :) I've more lessons in the back. Some of them are recorded but I need another session with my sister and other friends doing more recordings. Soon I'll add a bunch of lesson to the "Privat" collection. I guess they are perfect for your level. Enjoy!

Thanks, Vera. I've been missing your new lessons.

Thanks for the feedback. I'am quite busy at work, do not feel well for months now, had a holiday and I'am focusing on the English and French studies of my daughter :-)

I try to upload more lessons before my health cure in the summer holidays.

Take care of yourself; don't overdo things because of your insatiable students!

I thought the last lesson was especially well-done: good expression, some new ways of saying things, and a bit of information about hostels. NIce.

Thank you for the feedback. I've made some research before I wrote this lesson to make it as helpful as possible :)

It's a pity that only 3 learners have taken the lesson yet. I experience with a lot of the newer lessons that the interest isn't very high. That is somewhat killing my motivation. But such comments as yours and all the nice feedback I get let me continue. As long as there are people who appreciate my lessons I'll create more of them.

I really do enjoy your lessons. I have been making my way through them.

Thanks from me too, Vera. I continue to enjoy your lessons very much. Now that I know a lot of basic vocabulary I alternate between reading for information and reading to 'notice' things in the language and consolidate my familiarity with everyday words.

Firstly, I read all my news material, the bible, Wikipedia articles and all web content that is available in the language, in German. I import them into LingQ and make huge numbers of LingQs - words, short phrases and whole clauses. In German there are many composite words and these are all LingQed as words.This is how my activity score has become so high.

Secondly, I listen over and over again to lessons such as your beginner and intermediate ones, Vera. I often hear your voice when I am out and about and when I am doing jobs around the house and I really appreciate new ones.

Thirdly, I read some books in German. This has become less in the last few months as I have been exploring the resources on the web. Now I think I am ready for some more books.

Thanks again, Vera.

Thank you both of you for the nice comments. I hope to add more lessons soon.

Rae, it is great how much you do. And I love to work on different levels too. I often listen to MP3 when I'm doing housechores.

I guess my goals differs a bit from yours. My main goal is to be able to communicate well in English. Your choice of material includes content that would not be my first choice because with this kind of material I would not learn the phrases, the vocabulary and the grammar structures I need.

Be aware that the German wikipedia unfortunately is often written in a technical language. In German we have developed a way to describe technical issues in a way that is often quite different form the spoken language. Encyclopaedias and manuals are often written this way. But if you like this and if you keep in mind that this is not the spoken language its fine.

Thanks Vera. I pick and choose a bit with Wikipedia. If it is about a subject which I have to use in my teaching, meaning chemistry, physics or related topics, I can usually cope. Often, however, I just pick a descriptive paragraph or two, such as history, and ignore the rest.

I also listen to science podcasts. Again, I am somewhat familiar with many of the topics.

51.05 Touristeninformation - Ich suche eine Unterkunft
http://www.lingq.com/learn/de/store/lesson/2343...

Great! A new lesson! I haven't had time to study it yet, but I will soon.

Thank you Vera! I really enjoyed studying German with your lessons! :)
