I'm finally finished with my seven topics for German. This time I really watched the grammar of everything instead of winging it. It probably still has mistakes but at least I know I did my best, not like the previous time when I just wrote without thinking about the grammar side of things. I really hope there will be less mistakes than the previous time but that I will know in a few days after tomorrow.
However, I did make a few interesting observations:
My main problem is with articles and their inflection.
While I have enough content words in my vocabulary I need to shift them into active use so I can think of them faster.
My structure seems good if a bit complex but I have a certain degree of innate understanding of how German syntax works.
I have a significant lack of knowledge in the idiom and cultural reference department.
The subjects were:
Mein Leben als Student in England - My life as a student in England
Lots of bitching about how I despise the student culture... and a bit on how people annoy me in the library...
Brighton meine neue Heimat - Brighton my new homeland
Lots of bitching on how I don't like this place and how I don't consider to have a homeland so I can't have a new one...
Was ich von Polen vermisse - What do I miss from Poland
A few sentences basically saying "nothing"
Unterschiede zwischem Alltag in Polen und Alltag in England - Differences between an average day in Poland and England
The same like before but saying more about surface differences that don't matter and that after you go past them, there is no variety in life
Mein Hobby - My hobby
Roleplaying, 361 words, the basics...
Mein Lieblingsfilm - My favourite film
Ghost Ship, descriptions of death!
Mein Lieblingsbuch - My favourite book
The Sorrows of Young Werther, love and death...
Even I am amazed at how I'm able to make the simplest subject depressing to the extreme...
