This blog post is fantastic for anyone interested in gardening and learning German! The sentences provided are practical and easy to remember. I especially appreciate the mix of vocabulary related to common gardening tasks like pruning trees and mowing the lawn. Using a wheelbarrow and having a herb garden are activities I enjoy too, making these sentences even more relatable. The suggestion to bookmark the post or create a vocabulary list is very helpful. Your specially designed notebook sounds like a great tool for learners. Thanks for sharing these useful tips and resources. I’m looking forward to watching the video and practicing these sentences with Steven! Keep up the great work, Angelika!
