Lesson 24: Die weibliche Perspektive / Adjective Endings in the Nominative
This is one of the most important points in German, and the German language is (in)famous for its endings, so you've likely heard of them already. Here you want to be sure to take small steps and you want to avoid trying to learn all the endings in all the cases all at once. It bears repeating to be sure to learn these adjective endings one case at a time. Review the transcript, study the lesson and do the quizzes: www.newsinslowgerman.com/series/guts/24/transcript

Lesson 21: Tooooor (Gooooooal) / Wechselpräpositionen
These Wechselpräpositionen are also known as the "two-way prepositions." You could also think of them as double-use prepositions or change-up prepositions. To understand how that double-use functions, you need to already be familiar with the Akkusativ and the Dativ, which you are. First we'll look at the prepositions and then we'll walk through how they are used.

Lesson 20: Im falschen Film / Präpositionen mit Dativ
The Dativ prepositions are also very reliable. Difficult sometimes, but always reliable. Review the transcript, study the lesson and do the quizzes: www.newsinslowgerman.com/series/guts/20/transcript

Lesson 19: Klavier oder Küche? / Präpositionen mit Akkusativ
The two most important things to know about prepositions are: 1. Prepositions tell us how one thing is related to something else. 2. Prepositions are language-specific. Here we won't deal with an exhaustive list of prepositions, but we will work with the most commonly used prepositions. As you discover additional prepositions in the news articles you read, feel free to add to these lists. It's important, too, to note that you don't need to learn an exhaustive list of translations for these prepositions. It's most important that you use the prepositions in German, that you develop a sense of how to do so.

Lesson 18: Zombie Nation / Personalpronomen und Possessivpronomen in the Three Cases
This lesson serves two purposes: one is to help you learn more about the Personalpronomen (personal pronouns) and the Possessivpronomen with the declensions (endings) they require in the three cases. The other is to serve as a reference for you. If you were to repeat this lesson dozens of times, we'd be thrilled!
