Deise Ziet I was to go over some songs, mainly Christmas songs, I knew with German lyrics. From my previous knowledge of these Songs in Englisch, I could piece together the various bits of was ich wusste in Deutsch with neues Vokabular. Tannenbaum, or “O Christmas Tree” in English, describes Fabre of the tree. I recognized the color grünst, the verb conjugated verb lehren (meaning to teach) as well as the second person verb tense, where the singer is addressing the tree. The zwieten song I looked into was Stille Nacht, or “Silent Night.” I did not recognize as much elementary vocabulary, but I did see a few conjugates such as “goldenen” and “Nacht.”

I went to http://silentnight.web.za/translate/deu.htm

And http://german.about.com/library/blotannenb.htm.

Then I watched some clips (with subtitles) from the movie Downfall, which is famous in its own way across youtube. I found some words that I could pick out and understand, and some cognates, auch. For instance, the word music in English sounds just like its German counterpart, Musik. The case is the same with artillery, which is spelled Artillerie in Deutsch.

For this I went to the following links:
