44. Slow by designs Kleine Deutsche Lehre Teil 1 Nr.1 GESCHLECHTSWÖRTER

Here's the gist of why I'm doing this series:

Learning German was always high on my list of life-long achievement goals. While I speak reasonably well for someone who has spent a total of one 2 years actually living and speaking the language on a daily basis (not consecutively), the grammar side of it has always eluded my brain. (I'm a very slow learner.) Also, professionally I'm a cellist and recently I began teaching a native German speaker and that student would rather not have it in English. I'm cool with that because it is a chance for me to improve and use the German I know. However, I'm quite nervous about it every week and find it hard to form nice sentences, etc.

I'll be using an old German Grammar Lesson Book entitled Kleine Deutsche Lehre or "The Little German Lesson" (anyone with a better translation, please let me know). It walks one through the types of word classes, parts of speech, and conjugations. This will be my own study of Grammar.

Today's episode is about Geschlechtswörter, or the articles: der, die, das; ein, eine, ein.
