I'll be living in the Hamburg/surrounding area. For four months, with the sole purpose of learning the language.

Muesli doesn't go with orange juice and I'll fight any German who says it does /j Depends. Do you mean muesli/cereal with milk (in a bowl) and a seperate glass of orange juice or muesli with orange juice instead of milk? Don't mind this German coming through to ask such a question, I'm ready to fight alongside you when it concerns whoever does the latter but actually don't mind the former lol. This right here is fine by me (minus the fruit in the muesli because ew): And this right here is just a straight up crime against humanity/hj (because ew infinitely):

When I learned english (not sure it works with german) I used to watch a good film of these that you watch everytime, one time in english with cc and another one without. If you can't understand without cc, watch one more time with it (and go on).

I went to a German lecture today - or rather, my friend had to go to class and I just sat it. I was shocked that I could primarily follow it. :') So excited about that.

That’s awesome! It’s a lot of progress too, it felt exciting to me when I was able to understand an entire conversation in French.

Well, I've taken up duolingo again. i plan to do that every day! I"m starting on beginners, but I'm pleased to see that I know a lot of the stuff so far Any tips?

Couple what you're learning in Duolingo with some grammar practice elsewhere, as that's the biggest thing Duolingo lacks in. My suggestion would be looking up any question that turns up as you notice and don't understand. (e.g. why is this verb getting kicked to the end, why does time always come HERE, etc.) Though do note the placement of 'nicht' is apparently VERY hard for new learners and if you're just translating back and forth it makes even less sense because 'nicht' is placed in two different locations whether you're saying 'not [thing]' or 'not [sentence].' And 'nicht' can be in both locations depending what you want to do. At least as far as I've understood.

Thanks! That's good advice! I actually read a book that was partially German and I looked up all the German words and wrote them down & made flashcards of them. It's good to look up any questions otherwise you just kind of float along and you learn more just on the surface.

That sounds like a good idea!
Been watching YouTube in German, but really need to look for something with good subtitles.
