Guys, I’m proud! You translated yesterday’s sentences pretty well. There was one thing, that I’ve noticed though (it’s not a real mistake, I just wanted to let you know):

Some of you translated the 1st sentence “I’m looking forward to spring” to “Ich freue mich auf Frühling”, which is totally correct! :) However, it’s more common to add the definite article in German -> Ich freue mich auf DEN Frühling.

One of you guys said “Ich freue mich FÜR den Frühling”. But “sich freuen für” = (to) be happy for, so be careful not to mix up “für” and “auf”! :)

1. I’m looking forward to spring. -> Ich freue mich auf (den) Frühling.

2. I really need some sun. -> Ich brauche wirklich (etwas) Sonne.

3. The birds are chirping outside. -> Die Vögel zwitschern draußen. / Draußen zwitschern die Vögel.

4. I would like to go for a walk. -> Ich möchte spazieren gehen (or: einen Spaziergang machen). / Ich würde gern spazieren gehen (or: einen Spaziergang machen).

5. This spring is going to be great. -> Dieser Frühling wird toll (werden).

Sooo…. yesterday, many of you translated three sentences. :)

Here are the correct answers (at least one of the many versions):

1. I like going to the movies. Do you like going to the movies?

2. I hope the sun will shine tomorrow.

3. My favourite movie is… (-> it was really interesting to read your replies! I don’t have a favourite movie, there are sooo many great ones out there. But if I had to choose a German movie, it would be Run Lola Run)
