Non-class matters 4-10...because I am easily distracted...

Ich hasse/liebe Phoenetics. Hiedi was talking about oh, if you can feel the position of your tongue changing, you should be a linguist. I almost was a linguist...I adored Ling 200 like none other, but I didn't think I could cut it for the major.

This is the English vowel chart, or one of them anyway. Google has failed me at finding a German one that I could understand. It's really useful to me, though, especially talking about vowel height. See the height on the chart? Yeah. That's what it is. The English [i] or "ee" sound is really, really high.

The chart for the consonants would also be heavily useful, but I don't want this to be tooooo image heavy.

Update: Ich habe jetz einen Wörterbuch! Mein Freund gab mich ihren Wörterbuch. (Yeah, you'll have to check to see if that's right, actual German speakers. Meine Grammatik ist kaput.)

Mein Wörterbuch...

I muss in Deutsch schreiben!  Maybe not always, but...you know...at least sometimes.  Unfortunately, my German-English/English-German dictionary (erm) went away.  Somewhere.  All my grammar notes were in it! Unglücklich.  So now I've been using Babel Fish, and it's far too tempting to translate entire phrases in it, which may prevent actually learning stuff, and the stupid thing isn't always right.

Ich sollte ein neues Wörterbuch kaufen.  The one I have is out of print, but I don't think I like the new edition from the same company.

So, if anyone from my class is actually reading their classmates' blogs, do you have a recommendation?

Mine looked a lot like this, only it was German-English/English-German, not just German.
