How can we use an 'Adventskalender' for German learning?
Using an Adventskalender is great for German learning because it forms a meaningful practice, just as joyful anticipation can for those who use an Adventskalender as a religious practice. You have 24 or 25 short exercises and you get to focus on one thing all month long.
And if you're not religious, then it's simply "25 days of ______." And that works really well, too, to see how you do with trying something for 25 days. Ask my clients--they do this every year, whether they are religious or not, whether they celebrate Christmas or not.

sich anmelden
Ohhhh, reflexive separable verbs. You can pride yourself in your use of reflexive verbs as soon as you start learning them. (See what I did there? Pride yourself. Ah-ha, ah-ha!) And today you'll learn sich anmelden, to register (yourself) for a German class.
After the intro you'll learn the conjugations for the verb sich anmelden, and then you'll hear a German text. After a very short interlude you'll hear the same text in English. That's verb conjugations, German text, English translation. Feel free to repeat sections as you see fit.
Sind Sie bereit? Los geht's!

On Saturday my clients had a Konversationskurs, a Conversation Class, entitled German With Cats! We worked through vocabulary on names for cats, the parts of a cat's body, the cat box, how to say “to pet a cat” in German, we talked about how cats take a bath, how they communicate, and expressions in German to do with cats.
Es war sehr lustig.
Es war sehr lustig.
It was really funny.
Es war sehr lustig.
Today you'll learn 10 nouns, verbs, and expressions using cats in German, and of course there's a bonus something at the end.
