However, I wouldn't list mustard as one of the top German food items. My experience in Germany is the opposite. Butter is used instead all the time. I'll be at breakfast and there is the standard cold cuts, cheese, rolls and one can find marmalade and butter, but never mustard. It drives me crazy that I always have to ask for it and then the waitress goes to the kitchen and five minutes later returns with a large toothpaste type tube of mustard, sometimes past the expiration date. Worse yet, when I would get a pre-made sandwich with let's say salami and cheese, it would have butter on it. Salami and butter! What?!! That was my biggest surprise in Germany since I always thought mustard was used for everything. Then again, they do take mayonnaise with their fries. Maybe some of this is regional.

I was surprised by the inclusion of "fesseln" and "Märchen". They appear to have no bearing on the lesson content. Have they escaped from another lesson or are they a new concept in free bonus words? Richard Hi again

For example the Learning Center for this lesson is at http://www.germanpod101.com/learningcenter/lessons/Beginner%20Lesson_12/ . The questions are definitely part of it, but you can also use it to improve your pronunciation and intonation by listening to line-by-line audio, listen to each vocabulary word pronounced separately, use the Word Bank to memorize vocabulary and keep track of which words are difficult for you, and so on. Keep enjoying GermanPod101! Hello Courtney,

You keep asking for feedback at the end of the lessons, so here I am. I really enjoy Germanpod101.com I live in Germany and would love to be fluent in this crazy language. So keep up the good work. The only thing I am wondering is, where is this learning centre that Chuck is always talking about? I have used the PDF of the lessons and the little vocabulary/grammar/content questions on the side... Is this what he is on about? Also , being that I write down every lesson, I think it would be more helpful if you provided more sample sentences of nominative, dative and accusative case. This way I could look back on them and remember more easily what makes it which case. Thanks again!!! :razz: Hallo!!

I was wondering if at any point in the beginners series there will be any more emphasis on word genders? This is central to making use of a lot of the grammar and i think it would be helpful if die/der/das were added to the flashcards or something. :wink: My audio clips for this lesson are a bit messed up too.

It had a very nice decor with polished wood. I was surprised to see a carved wood religious figurine mounted on the wall. Anyway, I tried the some type of Schnitzel I think and it was ausgeseichnet! Then a year ago December while on a cruise on the Danube we stopped in Straubing. The next morning our cruise director took a few of us who were interested to a pub at around 10am. There I had a large beer, a couple white sausages with mustard, and a huge pretzel. Later in the evening I went back with some friends for dinner and tried the Schweinhaxe (not sure if have the correct spelling) with Sauerkraut. And with a beer it was indeed sehr lecker!

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.

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
