Only works with possessives that way, i'm afraid. Adjectives don't agree with stuff in predicate position, unless you make them nominal, but then you need an article:

Si isch mini.
Si isch schön.
*Si isch schöni.
Si isch a schöni.
*Si isch a mini.
Si isch dia schön.
*Si isch dia min.

So, I have been thinking about this course. I never really continued it and part of that was because it was disorganized and to explain what I wanted to, I needed to first explain other things and it became all very unweildy. I'm thinking of restarting it and making a weekly series out of it. Should I make a new thread? I made a list of 16 lessons (with plenty of room for expansion afterwards) and also a scheme for structuring lessons (intro to topic, vocab list, sentences to analyze [incl. recordings], grammar explanations, exercises). What do you think? Is there demand?

You may want to research a little about hierarchy of acquisition for German L2 learners. I am not familiar with German literature on the subject, but here's a start:

and to explain what I wanted to, I needed to first explain other things and it became all very unweildy.
Unwieldy? That's the essence of backward paedagogical design, my friend.

You're actually riding the crest of the wave, albeit ruckwarts.

I'm thinking of restarting it and making a weekly series out of it. Should I make a new thread?


While you have the time, why not!

[+1] Sorry that I'm only seeing this for the first time now, but I'd be interested as well.

Regarding whether or not a new thread should be made, my first "instinct" would be to continue using this one, if it were up to me, but I can definitely see the possible benefits of starting a new one, especially if you plan on taking it from the top, so to speak. Sorry, I'm sure that's not very helpful.

Mehr Schwiitzerdüütsch bitte! Or however you say Swiss German in your dialect. I'm really indifferent as to whether it's a new or old thread.
