[German] German Digest, Vol 37, Issue 1

[time]

hello all....yeah I was disappointed many months ago to find the German 
Corner never really took off.
yes the best way to learn  is immersion. What I've been doing is 
watching many translated movies I've
gotten via torrent. That is with the english text at the bottom. 
Obvoiusly if theyre talking english that aint
gonna help.......much., any.   But I can suggest to get some subtitled 
stuff like
Werner Fassbinders "Berlin Alexanderplatz" series. That played with some 
basic understanding really
helps. But there nothing more fun or practical than actually speaking to 
someone. Remember in Germany
there are many dialects mostly the two Low(northern) and High (southern) 
similar but differant. I'm listening
if anyone else knows of other ways to practice.     tschuss!
