German Grammar Overview

Hallo! Guten Tag! We have covered greetings and few basic questions ,  counting and alphabet . These are very basic things. Kindergarten level. [And by the way, Kindergarten is a German word. Kinder means children and Garten means garden.] But as we move to higher class, Grammar is introduced. German, I believe, is pretty strict in terms of grammar.

So we used to talk in German to get hold of the accent. While hearing any audio, repeat along with it. If it's a song, then sing al...
