This charming book about housing is the very first German book that I've plowed through. Irrelevant are the number of times I had to use Google Translator to get through it. The important thing here is that I'm working towards a day in the not so distance future where I can breeze through books of this skill level and perhaps move away from picture books.By the by, in case you don't know, German grammar can be a bit like putting words into a magic bullet blender (where you become frustrated in 10 seconds or less). They also have a tendency to combine their words into 20 letter strings of incomprehensible gibberishblahblahblah.
They also have syllables that require you to spit on your neighbours to correctly pronounce them. However they do have this character, "ü", which is nice because then you have embedded smiley faces to encourage you while you struggle to read.
