I have a clear understanding of tenses but not as much on preposition and pronouns but upon seeing Danial's Freyer model, it allowed me to understand the terms better as we discussed and cemented each other's definition. Understand the root of the words such as "pro" and illustrating my ideas also helped a lot. After discussing, I understood prepositions as 'connectors' of time and location between two topics and pronouns as the word that refers to and comes before a noun.
When we watched the Berlitz advertisement today, it struck me how short yet impactful it was as the whole class roared with laughter at the punchline. This ad was terrifically comedic and useful in highlighting the embarrassingly common mispronunciation amongst German native speakers and the end was concluded with the clean, bold logo and it's slogan. I also found out the popular tune that everyone-hears-but-nobody-knows-of-the-title at the end of the ad was "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven and as this was composed by a German composer and was intended to celebrate "Joy", it made perfect sense to be fitted into the ad as well.
