* Did some more studying for German. I am so confused. When do you use auf, zur, in, im and ins? Our teacher never went over it. To go a party is auf eine Party gehen, to go to work is zur Arbeit gehen, and to go to the mountains is in die Berge gehen. *scratches head* Uh...no comprendo???

* Went to dinner at the in-laws' house last night. almeda managed to get them hooked on ancestry.com. I'm tempted to get a fourteen day trial, but I'd have to sit down with my parents first and get information about when my grandparents and great-grandparents were born and such. I'm not sure I want to buy membership though. It's too fricking expensive. A minimum of twelve bucks a month? I'll pass.

When I was studying German, my teacher's view on 'gehen' plus preposition was 'it's a matter of usage' don't over-think it, just get used to the sentence as a whole...

in German you don't go 'to' the mountains, you go 'in' the mountains, for instance, 'im' it isn't really a different preposition, it is composed by in + accusative of the article ( we have a lot of those in Italian we call them 'preposizioni aticolate' that is 'articled'prepositions.
