In writing dates, German uses the number
followed by a period. On February 2nd would
be am 2. Februar. However, when saying this
out loud, you would say am zweiten Februar. You
must use the construction am + -en to answer
a question beginning with Wann? But you
use the construction der + -e to answer the
question Welches Datum?
Wann sind Sie geboren? When
were you born?
Am achzehnten Mai. On May 18th.
Welches Datum is heute? What
is today's date?
Heute ist der neunte Oktober. Today
is October ninth. |

Learn
To Speak German |
 When we are
playing games, surfing on line or doing some other
work we spend a lot of time on waiting. How can
we make full use of the waiting time? To use this
software to learn foreign language, I think, is
one of the perfect ways. Run this software, and
then there will be one dock window on your screen
and it will show you foreign language characters,
and their English meanings, and you can hear their
pronunciation. Here you can improve your ability
of learning foreign language unconsciously, easily.
Learn To Speak German comes with a conversation
kit, vocabulary builder, dictionary, and Reader
Angel.
