For this AMD Blog I decided to browse Sporcle.com, a website that allows
access to thousands of quizzes on thousands of different topics in which
you have a set amount of time to guess the answers.  I typed “German”
into the search box and played a few of the games/quizzes, these three were
my favorites.  It was a fun way to review some of the material that we
learned in earlier chapters, and to acquire some “fun-fact” type
knowledge. 

1.) In this quiz you have to guess which countries consider German to be an
official language, and which countries consider German speakers to be a
significant minority.  It turns out that Germany is considered to be an
official language in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland,
Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg, and is considered a significant language in
the Chez Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Namibia, Poland, Romania,
Russia, and Slovakia.

2.) In this quiz you have five minutes to guess the top 25 most frequently
used verbs in German.  Despite the fact that we have already learned most
of these verbs in class I did quite poorly on this quiz.  It turns out that
the most commonly used German verbs are… sein, haben, werden, können,
müssen, sagen, machen, geben, kommen, sollen, wollen, gehen, wissen,
sehen, lassen, stehen, finden, bleiben, liegen, heissen, denken, nehmen,
tun, dürfen, glauben

3.) The final quiz I took was entitled “Can you name the phrases that a
beginner might need in German?”  It asked for translations of German,
numbers 1-10, days of the week, months, colors, question words, greetings
and greeting questions and answers, sorry, big, small, and some key phrases
such as ich heisse… and ich weiss nicht.
