I'm currently enrolled in german 101. The purpose of the class is to gain a general understanding of the german language and be able to construct simple sentences.

Week one - We introduce ourselves and what we're wearing.
Week two - We talk about our feelings.
Week three - We talk about our Majors and interests.
Week four - We talk about what we Gern (like) and Nicht Gern (don't like)

Seems pretty basic. Feels 5th grader-ish. There just so happens to be one gentleman (though he doesn't deserve such a title) who takes these opportunities to express his violent conservatism. With things such as "ich bin SEHR conservativ." Or his know it all attitude "Germans are the worst drivers. The only accident I've ever been in was in Germany." "When I was there they said it this way." This doesn't even touch upon the EXTREMELY audible breathing and sighing he does when he's called on to speak. I would prefer it if he didn't breathe at all. Today took the cake though...

Nanette, Was Mach du gern?
Ich singen gern.
Was macht du nicht gern?
Ich Koecht nicht gern.

[mr. Asshole], Was mach du gern?
-Ich (some asshole-y thing) gern.
Was macht du nicht gern?
-How do you say I don't like hippies?
"Ich mag Hippies rucht gern."
-Igk magk (audible sigh) Hippies (loud intake of air to buy time to try and figure out how to pronounce it) rukt Gurn. (more rustling of air through his nose hairs). But I want to say I REALLY don't like hippies. '
That would be "Ich mag keine hippies." I don't like ANY hippies. Which introduces the next grammar lesson.

The whole class room was peeeeved. What?! Why don't you like hippies? what's wrong with them?

Mr. Ass "They don't have money. They're not productive members of society."
To which the teacher responded "That is what we call stereotypical."

UPHEAVAL. I wanted to rip his throat out. But isn't that ironic. i hate him for hating other people... this hate thing is very contagious. Ich mag keine Assholes und Extremists. Ich liebe Hippies.

Liebe, Nanette
