Thanks!

Oh, and a quick funny story. I had listened to the tapes for about 2 months or so. I was feeling pretty smug and thought I had it all down pretty good. So I got online and got a German radio station on my computer. Well, after listening for 5 minutes and not recognizing one single word, I knew I had a long, long way to go yet.
T&P's Mom, don't let this discourage you! The German pronunciation is very different from the English language, that's probably why you didn't understand much. But you'll get more practice from listening to your tapes, I'm sure!
