AMD1 Speaking With A Friend

This week I held a conversation with my girlfriend in German. She took 101 last semester so knew exactly what I was learning and was able to coach me through some of the harder words to learn (die Landkarte, der Bleistift). We were also able to go out with friends, and when the talking began to die down she and I could begin to speak in broken German with each other to our friends amazement. We were able to teach them basic words and phrases, her more than I, (der tisch, Wie hießen Sie?) and then laugh as someone butchered a pronunciation. It was fun to be in such a relaxed situation where it did not matter if you messed up or didnt know exactly how to say something.
