Duolingo is a reasonably convenient way to get exposure to a language. I actually enjoy the short lessons and like how it utilizes the same sentence patterns for each lesson. It would be nice to have some short stories to read periodically, but overall the app is quite good.

This episode features Family 1, Level 5 plus a few levels prior.

From Märchen und Erzählungen comes a 5 part story. This episode features Part 1: Die Räuber.

You can find the subsequent parts in the following episodes.

Die Prinzessin, die nicht lachen wollte 

This is story number 8 from a book for German learners at the beginning of their journey; Märchen und Erzählungen für Anfänger, published over 100 years ago. 

My goal is to read all of the stories from this Reader.

Surprisingly, I remembered more of the vocabulary than I forgot, despite a three month break from Norwegian.

Whoa!  I did not expect that score! It has been so long since I did anything "official" in the German language. I keep up with it by reading and listening weekly, to news or stories, etc.   the Placement Test on DW is quite interesting. You should give it a try as well.   Looking for a language tutor? go to iTalki here https://www.italki.com/affshare?ref=af13063809 #german #placement test #deutsch #dw

So, it's my first time to take an online German placement test. I visit the Deutsche Welle website at least monthly just to read something in German. I recently was poking around the site and was reminded that they have German material for learning the language. There I saw the Placement Tests. I decided to take the A1 test. 

After learning German in Austria some years ago and basically not studying it since then, although I regularly read and listen in German to maintain, I was curious how I'd do. 

What is your ability? Have you done any of those placement tests before?
