German is a mean language, there are some things to be really careful with... <br />-- impale is "aufspießen", it means that you put something on a stick or any other long and thin implement, "aufspeisen" on the other hand is eat of finish off food. take care of the order of "e" and "i", it changes the meaning of the word dramatically. :-)<br />-- "damit" is basically the same as "that" when introducing a subordinary clause, you can't translate it literally... <br /><br />Be in touch if you need something for German grammar of vocab. <br />Best wishes! <br />Barbara O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06169058852532544199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573765777378823059.post-26174011990201003252012-11-08T19:12:38.787-07:002012-11-08T19:12:38.787-07:00And, btw., I now want to explain all the different...And, btw., I now want to explain all the different uses of "damit", it's a da- wo- compound, it's a conjunction, etc, etc. Means "so that","therefore", "with that", blah blah blah. I love that word! (sorry, I'm a dork. Too bad explaining all of that at once is way too much of a grammar overload, and students just need to learn to use it in various situations)Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333058130902617524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573765777378823059.post-71462937941060832742012-11-08T19:08:41.880-07:002012-11-08T19:08:41.880-07:00I've taught a bunch of German books if you nee...I've taught a bunch of German books if you need help with teaching ideas. The AATG has a lot of online materials you can use and ideas, too. They have a bunch of stuff for "Emil" and for "Im Land der Schokolade und Bananen".

Auf der Computertastatur habt ihr den Buchstaben zwar nicht, aber die Schüler lernen schon das ß, oder? Und impale heißt wirklich aufspießen (wieder mit ß).
