Reading Your Stories 3 – Dankbarkeit

Hello everyone, and welcome to the third episode of Reading Your Stories For those of you who are new here – in each episode of this series, I take one short text that one of you has sent me, and I correct it and comment on why I made the corrections that I made, so you can learn from the mistakes. And I also read out the corrected version and give you a line by line translation to English as well. So you can use this to practice listening, reading and if you want to you can also try to find the mistakes yourself, and practice some grammar that way :). Today’s story, called “Dankbarkeit” comes from Parul and not only does it contain a bunch of interesting mistakes and sentences, it also has a really beautiful and inspiring message, and I am really happy to share it with you all. So are you ready to jump in? Then let’s go!

But there are some basic mistakes in it that many of you will be able to spot. Like last time, I’ll give you the audio and then the corrected version first, along with a (rather close) translation. And after that, we’ll go through the original text section by section. And this time, I WON’T mark the mistakes right away, I’ll just tell you how many there are in a given segment, so you can see if you can spot them :).
