At University, I studied German for a number of years. As a budding art historian, it was a language that I needed to be able to read and speak in order to be able to conduct research efficiently. Over the years, I stopped using my German so I have endeavored to try to get it back. And what better way than to write a blog. I figured that since my efforts in improving and learning Italian were so successful by blogging, that perhaps I would have the same success with German.
I can't make any promises about how often I will update this blog, but I am hoping for a post a week. I'm going to start at the beginning and work my way forward. As I (re)learn things, I hope to be able to communicate my knowledge to you as well as give you advice on web sites, books, and other materials and media.
As always, leave comments or email me.

I'm just finding this now. Not sure if you are still around or monitoring this site. I'm happy to find it as I'm trying to teach myself German. I am using Duolingo until now, but it doesn't really teach me the difference in words like trinkt, trinke, trinkst and which belongs where. I'm going to read through your posts in hopes of getting a bit closer. I have to say that I'm not very good at sticking with this consistantly, but I come and go from it. Thank you!
