After going to university and completing a minor in German, I learned Esperanto (together with my wife) in 1997 and have been tutoring it online since 1997. Esperanto became our at-home language for many years, and we still speak it on a daily basis. I organize events in the North-Eastern united states. I hope to be able to help others to learn and get involved. <b>bold text</b> I also have some videos in and about Esperanto. https://youtu.be/nLrCWPgT_cI https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXnT_KZNsQw-MX8Q8gJQDgw

Thomas spricht Deutsch immer besser und besser. Das macht mich sehr Froh. Thomas wie du ja es weist der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.

Thomas es un estudiante muy atento, toma en cuenta y escribe todo el vocabulario nuevo mencionado por el profesor. Es muy amable y tiene muchos temas interesantes para hablar. Su expresión oral en español es muy buena, y sé que con un poco más de práctica su fluidez mejorara muchísimo. Nos vemos en una próxima clase!

    "Cut me some slack" means "give me a break" or "go easy on me." Here it means she wouldn't hold him to his promise to take care of the "you" here.

    La laston filmon, ke mi spektis estis"Demonic". Ĝi estas a typical "B" filmo kaj ne estas por la malforta koro. Mi vidis multajn filmojn antaŭe kaj mi ne scias kiu mi waste mian tempon! Mi devas ŝati esti "shocked".

    There is certainly a danger of being overly concerned about grammar on one side and not caring enough about grammar on the other. Duolingo (mentioned by several) is an example of this second kind. An example of the first kind is when a student wants to know ever detail of a sentence when we're trying to learn common phrases, or illustrate a different point.

    <ul><li>Why is it <em>dir</em> in Wie geht es dir?</li><li>Why is it Gut<em>en</em> Tag, but Gut<em>e</em> Nacht?</li></ul>

    Or while explaining accusative, the student wants to know how to say "I drink the coffee with my mother" and asks:
    <ul><li>Why is it meiner Mutter? (Ich trinke den Kaffee mit meiner Mutter.)</li></ul>

    There are often simple answers, but there are appropriate times to "play" with the language or to focus on single elements - such las learning basic phrases or direct objects -- and trust that the rest will make sense later. Where I disagree with your presentation in the article, however, is the suggestion that worrying about endings is a "waste of time".

    I suspect that we fundamentally agree - and that it's bad to worry <em>too much</em> about endings - but how much is too much and how much is enough is often a balancing act - and subjective.
