The Idiot's Guide to Understanding German (aka..OUCH my brain hurts!!)

So we are in a bit of a slump at work and there are times when we sit around doing nothing.  Since we do not have Internet access on our computers we have to entertain ourselves.  I spent a good 90 minutes today reading my "Idiot's Guide" and now my brain hurts!!  I did manage to create 2 whole sentences without having to use a translator or a dictionary so I guess something is starting to click in my brain.

I think I might have to break down and do the flash card thing.  I hate flash cards but I need to build up my basic vocabulary; its pretty limited right now.  I know my days of the week, my numbers, some random words (dance, devil, day, dream, pain, etc) and a few verbs.  I also know that saying "I am hot" in both German and Spanish does NOT mean that you are hot temperature wise :)
