  • Myth: German is a Challenging Language to Learn

    Fact 2:

    • Hi Kerstin, This is very simple and clear. I would consider opening w/ Fact 2, and moving Fact 1 down, German is easy. For Fact 3, you might consider taking out that grammar is the hard part and stay w/ logical.

    • Hi Kerstin, what if you try to shorten and simplify each Fact so that a 12-year old can understand it quickly — that’s the average reading comprehension of us here in the US anyway. Perhaps a version that is less academic/intellectual may be more powerful and to the point?

    • Hi Kerstin, I liked your video. The last part about practicing with a partner and the cultural aspects felt the strongest. Maybe an example here or elsewhere would have been a nice add, but a very good job regardless.
