Willkommen!!!

Welcome to our class blog! Oder: Der maisgelb-blaue Blog!  

Throughout the semester, you will be posting here every other week. 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 mins doing something, 5-15 mins posting about it). See the links on the top right on LLJ Ideen and Beispiele for ideas! 

In addition, you will be posting here once a chapter (as stated in the homework plan) on a topic of German culture. You'll hear more about this later...

Explore the blog a bit: Click on the right sidebar to read through some of the sample posts and resources available. This should get you excited about the kinds of things you can do! 

Notice that we also have links to the Homework Plan, the Course Site, and a helpful dictionary, the PONS Wörterbuch. (much better than google translator!) Also a link showing you how to make Umlauts: äöü and ß.
