    Visual learning vs auditory learning

    Learning German with pictures vs learning it with sounds...

    Do you prefer one over the other? If so, why?

    I have the same problem. But like Beata said conversation is the key. I'm just starting up with German myself. Feel free to hit me up if you need someone to practice with.

    Yes, we pronounce it but don't stress it.

    "I have the same book that he has" means he and you own two copies of the same book. If you jointly owned the same book, you would express that otherwise. For example by saying something like "That book belongs to both he and I". As for the difference between 'same as' and 'same that', I think it depends on the way you're constructing your sentence. Here's an example. Jack: Look at my car. Jill: That car is the same as mine. Jack: Really? It's also the same car that my sister Jackie drives. Jill: Wow, all three of us must have great taste in cars!

    They're both correct but I prefer the second version.

    Yes and no. They all mean the same thing more or less, but a few of them are far too formal for day-to-day speech. For example:

    Teacher: Why didn't you do your homework?
    Student: I didn't do my homework on the grounds of a power outage.

    While this is understandable and acceptable, it's not common to hear the phrase "on the grounds of" in such a case, where "because of" or "due to" would be more fitting.

    In view of is a bit of a special case because it doesn't really indicate a cause and effect relationship in the same fashion as the others you listed. It's more of an associative phrase as in the below example.

    Presenter: In view of your company's recent accomplishments in the field of cardiac surgery, we would like to present you with this plaque.

    Judge: In view of your good behavior in the county jail, I hereby reduce your sentence from the maximum of 10 years to 5 years of incarceration....

    Yup.

    Watching movies with subtitles is very helpful too. First, watch the movie with English subtitles (or your own language) and then watch it a second time with subtitles in your target language. Because you've already seen the movie, the second time around becomes all about understanding the conversations and seeing it in action will make a lot of it stick. You can also pause the movie and rewind to make the best out of it.
