What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

339

I’ve just finished my first home run book in German! Well, actually it’s more of a short story—about 20 pages long. It’s Dorothy Johnson’s tale: A Man Called Horse. In German, Ein Mann namens Pferd.

(Enough to base a movie on.)

Anyway, I’m chuffed! I feel great.

I did it the ‘Heinrich Maneuver’ style—that is, I read it sentence by sentence. First in English, then in German. That worked very well.


Next, I’ll read another story—there are 8 stories in the book—the shortest one: Dog Eater (Hundefresser). And I may copy out some i+1 sentences too.
