2. Choose from the following two listening practice options and hand in your notes: EITHER: If you enjoyed the "Lernen to Talk Show" in Kapitel 7, then pick two more episodes to watch in the same way, i.e.: Listen to each episode at least twice. With the help of the subtitles and annotations, write down as much as you can of what was said, focusing on what seems useful and/or fun/interesting to you. Spend a total of 15-20 minutes on EACH of the two videos. OR: If you want to try something new, watch the first episode of extr@ auf Deutsch, and hand in your notes, which should consist of (a) A list of words/expressions you recognized, and (b) A list of words/expressions you learned (or want to learn) from the episode. Note that each episode is divided into three parts ==> you should watch all three parts of the first episode. "Extr@ auf Deutsch" is an entertaining soap-opera spoof about Sam, an American eager to learn German, who generates a lot of excitement when he bursts into the problematic love triangle of Sascha, Nic (who loves Sascha), and Sascha's roommate Anna (who loves Nic). The series, made for language learners, consists of 13 episodes. The German is simple, clear, and useful, and the videos are captioned to help you follow along. The exaggerated laugh-track lets you know when a joke has been made, and some of the jokes are funny. NOTE: Since there is only one iLrn listening exercise assigned in this chapter, your iLrn listening grade for this chapter will be given for the combination of that exercise (S:8-2E) and this "Lernen to Talk Show" OR "extr@ auf Deutsch" assignment. 3a. OPTIONAL: If you feel you need more practice with the Kapitel 8 vocabulary, review this annotated Kapitel 8 vocabulary list ("Kapitel8CEM.docx"), and then complete and hand in this worksheet. (If you'd like to do this but don't have time now, feel free to hand it in later!) 3b. OPTIONAL: If you feel you need more practice with the Kapitel 8 grammar, complete and hand in this worksheet.

1. Go to iLrn, click on the "Assignment Calendar" tab, choose "Kapitel 11" from the "Section" pulldown menu, and do: S:11-1E, S:11-1J (For this one, "PR" means the "normal" Indicative Present Tense (Ich esse eine Banane); "NP" means the "normal" Indicative Narrative Past tense (Ich aß eine Banane); "SII" is for verb forms that are unambiguously one-word forms of Subjunctive II (Ich äße eine Banane); "NP/SII" is for verb forms that could be one-word forms of Subjunctive II or just "normal" Indicative Narrative Past tense forms, depending on the context (sagte, machte, lachte etc.). In practice, these are the forms where one would be most likely to use "würde + infinitive" to make it clear one means Subjunctive II (of course the "würde + infinitive" form is also common even for many of the unambiguous one-word forms: "ich würde essen" instead of "ich äße" etc. The goal of this exercise is just to make you more conscious of the possible one-word forms so you'll recognize them when you see them.))
