Anyway it seems really odd to use "Ich habe das gern" with things or activities. “gern haben” means liking a person, for example “Ich habe dich gern” is something that friends might say to each other - “Ich liebe dich” is reserved for lovers, and your parents won’t say that do you either for example.

Is this less acceptable than "ich mag/ich mag keine?" Thanks! For I like, do not like, I learned “ich habe das gern/ich habe das nicht gern.” Is this less acceptable than “ich mag/ich mag keine?”

Thanks!

The problem with Pfannekuchen is that it depends where you are it can also mean something different. Like in Berlin it's the word for Berliner (the doughnut not the citizens). In Austria you would say Palatschinken - even though they are a bit different from Pfannekuchen liek Crepé is different from Pfannekuchen (they are thinner). Not that it's *that* important to know all tastes very good ;) carrot is also Karotte / Karotten

Speaking of food, how to say certain food like 'mushroom', 'carrot', 'parsnip', 'nuts', and etc. It'll be good to know how to say "I do not like blah blah", or "I am alergic to blah blah". "Is there blah blah in this dish?" Viele Dank. Li Thanks for the lesson.

I'm not very good at drama (though the newbie series is turning out better than the beginner one). If you have any suggestions for interesting storylines, please e-mail me. Yes, the intermediate series will cover more grammar. The beginner series contains about as much grammar as a beginner can handle, keep in mind that a lot of listeners never studied German before.

I love crepes with jam or nutella so I'd probably like the German Pfannkuchen a lot too. The non-sweet ones aren't really my thing though. As for the lessons in general, I think it would be good to add more imagination and drama to the dialogs, like for example, the newbie series of koreanclass101 (their Ryuji in prison story arc is awesome) or some of the multi-part japanesepod101 lessons. Also I'm eager to learn more grammar. Maybe the upcoming intermediate series will cover more advanced grammar? Anyway, thanks for all the great lessons! Nice lesson!

You can have sweet pancakes or non-sweet pancakes. My family just does bacon pancakes for the non-sweet part, but for sweet pancakes we have: pancakes with jam, pancakes with nutella, pancakes with apples (particularly good with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar), pancakes with cherries, pancakes with blueberries...
