Stammtisch
I just got in from the Stammtisch, where I was speaking German for two hours! Whee! I feel like I am really making progress!
Traditionally, a Stammtisch is a table (in a restaurant or bar) which is reserved for regular guests. Often (at least in America) the term is used for groups that meet in restaurants to practice speaking German. That's what it is in this case, as well.
The class has been really good. I am glad to wholeheartedly recommend the Goethe Institut in Munich to anyone who is interested in learning German. It is a very well-run language school, and the teachers are extremely well-trained. There are only three more days of the class left, but we still have lots of work to do. In fact, I still have lots of work to do tonight!
Today I did a presentation about Connecticut. I won't bore you with the whole thing, but here's the last part of it.

- Hartford ist die Hauptstadt von Connecticut. Es ist ein schöner alter Stadt, mit viele Parken und Sehenswurdigkeiten. An dem Elizabeth Park gibt es ein ungeheuere Rose Garten, mit 15.000 Rose Pflanzen. Im sommer ist der Park am schönsten.
Viele bekannte Amerikanischen Autoren haben in Hartford gewohnt, zum Beispiel Mark Twain und Harriet Beecher Stowe. Kennen sie Huckleberry Finn oder Uncle Tom's Cabin? Man kann heute ihren Häuser besichtigen.
Mein Lieblingsplatz in Connecticut ist Lyman Orchards, in der Nähe von Durham. Hier gibts ein größe Obstgarten mit Apfel, Zwetschgen, Pfirsch und Kirschbäumen. In Lyman Orchards Markthalle kann man Gemüse, Obst, Käse, Fleisch, und Apfelmost kaufen. Lymans Getreideprodukte sind prima! Lyman hat jährlich das "Best Apple Pie in Connecticut" Prämie gewonnen!
Im Herbst ist Connecticut am schönsten. Die Laub wurdet gelb, rot, und orange im Wald. Sie sollten nach Connecticut im Herbst fahren!
