Will update this main bit later I just wanted to note something down real quick
Menschen 8 modules, 3 subsections so total 24 (Possible schedule 1 sub section a day?)
Die Kleine Hexe Chapter 1
My German isn’t good enough for this but I’m doing it anyway woohooooo
Just a whopping one page though because I don’t have much time.
So page 3 wooooooo. (I don’t have a german keyboard yet so I can’t make the umlauts and such)
- erst (first)
das ist ja fur eine Hexe noch gar kein Alter.
First guess: That is old for a with only something no something
- gar (at all, really, even)
- Alter (age)
Second guess: I have no idea, it’s something for a which of that age?
DeepL: That’s no age at all for a witch.
That makes a lot more sense
das stand einsam im tiefen Wald.
First guess: that something in a forest, that stood alone in a forest
Vocab:
- stand (stood / preterite stehen) *preterite means simple past tense)
- einsam (lonely, isolated)
- tiefen (deep)
- Wald (forest)
I am a wizardddddddd I didn’t even know those
Second guess: That stood alone in a deep forest
DeepL: that stood alone in the deep forest.
Weil es nur einer kleinen Hexe gehorte, war auch das Hexenhaus nicht besonders gross.
First guess: Where there was only one small witch living, there was also a witch house that was not too big
New vocab:
- Weil (because)
- gehören (to belong to (?))
- Hexenhaus (enchanted house)
- besonders (particularly, especially)
- groß (big)
Second guess: Because it only belonged to a small witch, the enchanted house was also not particularly big.
DeepL: Because it only belonged to a small witch, the witch’s house was not particularly large.
Didn’t do a lot of the book but I think it’ll be a struggle since I’d put my level more around A something. I’ll keep trying though.

Lo metto i significati domani, pero quello era una storia veramente strano. Se era me non sarebbe felice se tutta la mia famiglia e gli amici mi fara pauro cosi.
Inoltre so che mia grammatica non e perfetto ma penso che scrivere un po sara una buona pratica.
Ciao, a domani
Epicly rushed story, epicly rushed thoughts in Italian, yeehaw.
You did very well with the little witch! If you’d like you could post this in the Week 1 🪄 Die kleine Hexe 🧙♀️ thread as well to help the others along!
Will do tho it might get a bit long cause I’ll be doing that with almost every sentence probably
That’s no problem at all! I bet many of the other readers are on the same page as you, and are probably grateful for your thorough walk-through
Echoing @nikoru, definitely go post on the bookclub thread! Don’t worry about being too long-winded; that’s what the book club threads are there for!
