We're working on building the verb conjugation at http://www.germanpod101.com/learningcenter/reference/conjugation_list but it will take time to build up the part. Meanwhile, you could learn more about Verb conjugation if you would check the Beginner Series 2 Lesson 2. Thank you, Jay Lee / GermanPod101.com Hi Victor,

I want to learn German this time and take family and friends. I really like the flirting Dusseldorf lesson. I think Germans are very disciplined and the men are really manly. I just began the Newbie series, and I love it. I hope my trip is a speaking success. I plan to return to Germany this summer after a visit I had 20 years ago.

I am the 2nd generation of a German immagrant, of which none of the language or culture was passed on. After becoming disabled 6 years ago, I am now finding myself wanting to start the process of learning. Mostly because I have a lot of time on my hands. I am finding the course a bit advanced, so its taking me a little more time in comprehening the information, but, I am doing it! I have always been intrested in my german heratige.

They say "Ich hiesse Lena Wagner" and "Ich hiesse Chuck Smith" but then later say "duzen wir uns doch." Wouldn't calling yourself "Lena Wagner" instead of "Frau Wagner" be considered informal anyway? I’m a little bit confused.

The German culture is a part of who I am and after visiting my great grandmother in Munich this summer German is all I can think about.

I am having a problem with my word bank and have sent a separate email on this topic. Hopefully you can help me with that, as I like the idea of a personal word bank. Keep up the good work. I am studying German so that I can converse with my wife's relatives when we visit Austria. Our next visit is 2011, so I have some time yet to make good progress. Cheers, Rob Hi,

I have two questions. In one of the newbie lessons you said that German can be read phonetically. Where can I find an explanation of German phonetics? Also, I have a PC laptop that runs Windows XP. What do I need to do to type the letters that aren't in English? Danke!! Thanks for the lessons!
