Das freut mich sehr, lieber Shawn! And you're doing such great work getting ready and preparing for the exam. This week, when you walk around, speak out loud some of the points you want to make during the exam. When you speak, you might be hesitant, and that's ok. After a few days, it should become easier and more fluent. Let me know how it goes. Viel Glück! :)

    Can you explain the reason for this word order? The following sentence is from a news article. Why is the word order "verb-subject, verb-subject" as opposed to the usual format? For me it seems unnecessary/weird because there is no word (like jedoch/trotzdem) which would change the word oder. "Nutzt ein Mitarbeiter einer sicherheitsempfindlichen Bundesbehörde sein dienstliches Passwort aber auch für die Webseite seines Sport- oder Hobbyvereins, macht er es Hackern leicht."

    Is this sentence a good translation? 1) Is this an accurate translation (see below)? [Translated from German to English] 2) Why is "sich" after "es"? 3) Is "sich machen" a reflexive verb and what does it mean? Manche Nutzer machen es sich einfach. > Some uses want to take the easy way out.

    On the following diagram we can see how the amount of consumption of three different types of food changed between 1985 and 2010. During the whole period represented, people in China consumed more fish than meat or salt. At the beginning of it, in 1985, Chinese people each ate 600 grams of fish every week. By the end of the period fish became even more popular, and the weekly consumption increased to more than 800 grams. Salt was the only product, whose consumption in China consistently decreased during the whole period. By 2010 its consumption dropped to its minimum and was around 200 grams per person per week. The popularity of meat increased significantly from 1985 to 2010 and was just as popular as salt in 2010. However, it is clear, that the consumption of meat by 2010 was almost twice as big as in 1985.

    How does this German sentence make sense? - "Ich bin gerade dabei TV zuschauen." Can someone explain how the following sentence makes sense. The sentence is "Ich bin gerade dabei TV zuschauen". 1) I thought you couldn't have an auxiliary verb and an Infinitive in a sentence because German doesn't have that format like English.. e.g I am going, I am eating etc.? 2) What does "dabei" mean in this sentence/context?
