GERMANY
I recently stopped checking the Neuerburg weather forecast because it was simply too depressing. Today it is 15 degrees, which is still a bit chilly compared to when I arrived in September, but this is such an awesome difference to the -3's and 4's of the last 3 months.
I have my grammar class in half an hour, today we're doing the difference between "I have" and "I have got". I'm not certain exactly how this one will pan out; when I first looked at the exercises in my book and online, I was all "whoaaa, this is gonna take some deciphering". Then after 5 minutes further study, I realised there isn't actually any difference whatsoever. It's just one of those useless rules of the English language that need to be taught but which are never relevant.
This is especially annoying seeing as this will hardly win the affection of my class, who will probably think along the lines of 'why are you teaching us this shit, Max?"
It's so complicatd to explain a grammar rule that's so menial and then find work that is as equally challenging. As far as easy grammar goes, 'have' and 'have got' is certainly a welcome change from complex tenses, but this one overshoots the 'easy' mark and keeps going until it can't hear you shouting "Ok, stop" anymore.
Does anyone else using German WORD think that the bold, italic and underline buttons are secretly saying "fuck you"?
I'm still immature.
