As I am learning German, it brings back memories of learning English grammer way back in elementary school. The infinitive, irregular verbs, conjugate endings, etc…It all seems quite daunting at first, but the thing I realized is that I have no idea about English grammer either! I am just accustomed to using words and phrases enough that I know when something sounds right or wrong. If I were asked to explain the rule behind it, I would be clueless. Hence the more I speak German, the more my brain will get use to its strange guttural sounds & the like. No German I have spoken to even knows all the rules, so there is light at the end of the tunnel!
I’d better get on the ball though, I made a foolhardy promise to preach in German on a Sunday in the New Year! My großes wörterbuch Englisch-Deutsch is going to be well used!
