Hello fellow German students,
I came across a very interesting web site recently that I find useful in supplementing the Rocket German courses. It is called "German is Easy" http://yourdailygerman.wordpress.com/. One of the features I particularly like is the word of the day. As you know, in any language there are multiple ways to say the same thing, e.g. "stop". However, they don't necessarily apply to all situations and may be inappropriate or at best silly in the wrong context. Thought I would share and hope others find it to be a useful supplement as well.
regards,
Byron

Hi Byron
I checked out dailygerman.wordpress last night: I went in to take a "quick look" and spent over an hour poking around. It is indeed a great resource! Thanks for the tip!

Thank you both!
I "liked" the facebook page. It's nice to see the phrases and hints in my news feed. I've also played some on the wordpress site. Great resources. Thank you for sharing!!
