For my AMD I decided to look up some German movies on Netflix. I picked a movie called "Summer Storm" which was in German but provided English subtitles. However, there were a few German movies that sounded good that I'd love to come back and watch when I don't have so much other homework. I wanted to only watch about 45 minutes of the movie but I ended up liking it a lot and watching the whole thing. I thought the movie was really good. It also provided some insight into certain aspects of German culture. It was strange to see kids drinking beers alongside their sports coaches at camp, and I had to remind myself that that is normal there. Although the movie provided English subtitles and I did have to use them, I still could recognize certain vocabulary words and was even able to recognize the Perfekt tense and new aspects of grammar that we have been learning in class. I feel that although I would have struggled without the subtitles, I would have still been able to follow the plot and know what was going on for close to most of the time. I really enjoyed watching the German film and I will probably start watching more in German. I feel like it not only was enjoyable but I was learning and my listening skills will probably become better with the more I listen to German speaking as well.

Willkommen!!
Welcome to our class blog!
We will be using this blog throughout the semester for two kinds of assignments:
1. Once per chapter, the homework plan will direct you to post a response to the culture readings for the chapter on the blog.
2. Roughly every other week, the homework plan will direct you to post here for your Abenteuer mit Deutsch (AMD) assignment. First you do a fun activity that involves German, then you post about it. You should spend an hour total on this (maybe 45-55 minutes doing something, 5-15 minutes posting about it). See Was ist ein AMD, AMD Ideen and Beispiele for ideas. This should get you excited about the kinds of things you can do!
Whenever you post something, please include your name and the name of the assignment (e.g. AMD2, Kultur5) as labels. See "Blog: How To" for more details!
