Hi ihr lieben,

nach vier oder fünf Wochen trockener Grammatik ist es höchste Zeit, das wir mal was aktives machen.
Und zwar üben wir ein bisschen die Vergangenheit.
Aber wenn ihr jetzt denkt "Langweilig, kann ich schon." dann nicht so schnell.
Wir üben nicht irgendwie, sondern mit auf die epischste Art aller Zeiten - mit Sprechen und künstlicher Intelligenz.

Ja wirklich. Ich habe ein neues Spracherkennungs-Feature... also viel Spaß :)

After four or five weeks of dry grammar it is high time that we do something active.
Namely, we'll practice the past tense a little bit.
But if you now think "Boring, I already know how to do that." then not so fast.
We'll not just do a random practice, we'll practice in the most epic way ever - with speaking and artificial intelligence.


Yes, really. I have a new speech recognition feature... so enjoy :).



PS:

Some of you who are members have had issues accessing content recently. After some digging it appears that there was a confluence of several issues, one relating to one particular post (the one about predicate) and one relating to the newsletter. I hope I got both fixed now, but if you get blocked coming from the newsletter even though you're logged in, then just click on "Yourdailygerman" on the site and then access the article directly.
I hope everything works now and I'm sorry for the hassle.
If you still have trouble, send me an email and I'll cry, curse out the software, whine... and then solve it.
