Wednesday afternoon Common German/English mistake: Volume 10, Day 38: They say that timing is every thing :) "I ordered several times a car" AND "I walk every day to the bakery" both show the common "time after the verb" German rule. BUT... in English we mostly prefer to put the time at the end : "I ordered a car several times" AND "I walk to the bakery every day". Need online language conversation practice?

Same is true in English/German sentence construction :) German "I go every day to the fitness!"... English: "I go to gym every day " :).. Fitness= Gym and timing, more often than not, at the end!

Sunday Morning Common German/English mistake: Volume 5, Day 14 : "I feel me good today!" Closely followed by, "I remember me" and "We meet us later " :) These verbs in English don`t have this reflexive quality... Simply, I feel good, I remember and we`ll meet up later... I trust me on this! :):) Have an awesome Sunday... Need Online Conversation Practice? www.conversationcafe.ch

Thursday night Common German/English Mistake : Volume 4, Day 9... "As a mother I look for the children every day" :) This often leads to humorous results in the class, who would LOSE their kids daily??
