Ultimate Getting Started with German Sale BONUS German Lesson - World Cup Vocabulary 1. Study Tips from Peter - THINK in another language Peter here. Starting this month I’ll be sharing tips on learning languages to help keep you motivated and progressing. This month I’ll teach you how to THINK in another language. It’s not nearly as difficult as it sounds so don’t give up right away; try out these 3 simple study “hacks” in your daily life. Write vocabulary on post-it notes that you can place around your home. When it’s time to brush your teeth or when you look in the mirror, you’ll seef the word for “mirror” or “toothbrush” in the target language each time, building a strong visual association with the word through repetition. Schedule your day in your target language. Instead of writing “Groceries at 5pm on 6/29/2010″ write it how a native speaker would and in their time and date format. Feeling comfortable with appointments in your second language will make social meetups easier and prepare you for business too! Count in the language. Doing pushups? Counting your stacks of cash? Doing anything else with numbers? Use the language at these times and recalling numbers will be as natural as tying your shoes! Try these out and report back in the forums or give us a shout out on our Facebook page to let us know if you try it. Peter Galante 2. The Perks of Being a Founding Father!

Siebenschläfertag: In Germany, June 27 is Siebenschläfertag or Seven Sleepers Day. If it rains that day, the rest of summer is supposedly going to be rainy. While it might seem to refer to the Siebenschläfer rodent, “edible dormouse” in English, it actually commemorates the Seven Sleepers legend. In short, the Seven Sleepers legend is the story of 7 young Christian martyrs resting in a sealed cave after being banished by the Roman Emperor. When they were eventually discovered, they woke up thinking they had only fallen asleep for 1 day, when it was actually many years. It won’t matter to Germans if it rains all summer if the Nationalmannschaft bring home the World Cup trophy. They’re off to a good start after a convincing 4-0 over Australia. Up next? Serbia on June 18th. 4. The Ultimate Getting Started German Deal not to Pass Up! Until June 20th, we’re putting our Ultimate Getting Started with German DVD Package on sale for 50% off!
