Dreaming in German

I am well into week two of my classes. Every night I dream in German. This week the sentences in my dreams are finally starting to make sense. Stephanie says that this is a good sign that I am learning.

I have two test coming up. The first is at school. On Friday I will take a test to see if I move on the next level. I feel confident about grammar, but I need to work on vocabulary. The second is the family reunion!

We are going to stay with Stephanie’s Great-Aunt Marlort Friday and Saturday nights. Then Sunday morning, we will go to the big family reunion. The Kress family is very concentrated in central Hessen. Check out this graph. I am nervous and excited about the trip. Thoughts of Chevy Chase’s European Vacation keep floating through my head.

Stephanie and Max are doing great. Most mornings they go shopping and to a park if the weather is nice. In the afternoons, we will visit one of Bamberg’s historical sites (after two weeks there is still more to see) and follow up by going to the park. We have gotten to know a few families in the area, so we often go to the park with one of them.

Well time to study, I hope everything is going well at home!
