I believe the hat song goes like this: Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken, Drei Ecken hat mein Hut. Und hätt' er nicht drei Ecken, So wär's auch nicht mein Hut. My hat, it has three corners, Three corners has my hat, And had it not three corners, It would not be my hat. When I was little, my grandma taught me how to read children’s beginner reading books in German, in the old style letters. The books were from the early 1900’s, I still have a couple. I didn’t understand what I was reading, but I could read it out loud correctly and pronounce it correctly. She also rented her upstairs to a single lady from Germany, and I’d hear them both talk, and it really helped overall I think to pick up German fairly well. I took one year in college in about 1975 or so, but I’ve kept my books and try to refresh my mind occasionally. I have trouble with past tense and genitive case (I wish I were going to….). It’s always been a goal to be fluent, but I don’t think I’ll ever get there, but I enjoy trying to learn it. My grandma was the most important person in my life growing up and I’m very thankful to God for putting her in my life! I love these memories. Thank you :-) susan
