For this AMD, I've decided to listen once more to Rammstein's album "Mutter". I have already done this for an AMD at the beginning of last semester, but I would like observe how I have progressed.
Listening to this again was very exciting. I kept the both the German lyrics and its translation side-by-side as I listened. I found that I was able to understand the lyrics solely by translating nouns and verbs. Sentence structures, including the cases, were surprisingly easy to contextualize and understand.
Even sentences in different tenses were somewhat understandable. By knowing the helping verb werden, the future tense is easy to figure out.
I found also that numerous verbs and nouns auf Deutsch were incredibly similar to their English synonyms. Some examples are:
das Licht - the light
das Herz - the heart
die Sonne - the sun
die Faust - the fist
die Phantasie - the fantasy
fürchten - to fear
scheinen - to shine
verbrennen - to burn
fühlen - to feel
One phrase I liked very much was: Ich will in Beifall untergehen.
Rammstein has always made music that speaks to me; the irony being my complete lack of understanding. It's definitely an awesome experience to come back to these songs and have a completely different set of tools with which to enjoy them.
