meine Geschichte

Ich wirde werde mich vorstollen vorstellen. Ich heiBe heisse Josiah Douglas und ich wohne aus in den USA. Ich graduierte machte Abschluss von Universitat im letzten Fruhling. Ich spreche Englisch und Franzosisch Französisch/Franzoesisch und ich will möchte lernen Deutsch Deutsch lernen. Ich mag Rennen, Schwimmen, Lesen, und die Sprachen. Ein von mein hobbys lieblingsen Eines meiner lieblings Hobbys ist losen die Rubik's Cube ist, die Rubik's Cube zu lösen. Auf Wiedersehen!

1. Werden is a really irregular verb. Here's the conjugation paradigm,

ich werde   wir werden

du wirst     ihr werden

er/sie/es wird   sie/Sie werden 

2. If you don't have the scharfes S/eszet on your computer, it's standard to just use double S. If you can't put the "Umlaut," (the two dots over ä, ö, and ü) it's standard to write "ae", "oe", and "ue". 

3. "aus" means "out (of)", but German does have the word "in" You would also use a dative article here for a plural noun "united stateS" because there's no movement involved. The dative plural definite article is "den".  

4. In German, to graduate is literally to "make completion" 

5. You'll want to mark past tense with a "te" ending on weak verbs like "machen"  

6. You normally don't need prepositions with time elements. Just saying "I graduated last spring" works fine. 

7. Most of the time, you'll want to use "möchten" instead of "wollen", it's a bit politer and sounds less demanding. 

8. Remember to always put the 2nd verb at the very end of the sentence. 

9. Jarons (running, swimming, reading) are technically nouns and are therefore capitalized. 

10. Unlike in French, you don't always need to have an article. If an artical is used in English, almost 99% of the time, you'll use it in German, too. The main exception is with professions. "Er ist Lehrer." just means "He is teacher."

11. "One of the/my/a" is honestly a really complicated construction in German. You have to work with genative in the case of "meiner" and figure out what case and gender the thing you're refereing to is. I don't often suggest this, but I would hold off on "one of..." constructions until later. I just now felt comfortable with it and I've been learning German for a while. 

12. Whenever you want to say "to do something" in German (I plan to play) (That's hard to believe), you're using an infinitival phrase with "zu." So you put a comma before the object of the verb "ich habe vor," "Das ist schwer,..." and then put the object of the 'zu' word "Ich habe vor, die Saxophone..." and the verb in final position with a "zu." "Ich habe vor, die Saxophone zu spielen" 

13. "Wiedersehen" is a noun in German, it means "another seeing", and is therefore capitalized
