Practice copying down sentences using words you know. I used to copy poems and it helped a little, but only when it came to writing poetry! You could also find a märchen and copy sentences from that. Sticky notes are my friends! I would put the German word for something (ie: the desk, the lamp, ect) and see those daily. It helped me with der, die, das. Grade wise, I can only encourage you to study and practice writing, reading, and speaking daily. I wish you all the best! Viel Glück!
Midas is Greedy because of his wish to have a golden touch therefore since he has golden touch he can not eat because he touches stuff and it becomes gold. Bacchus takes pity because he feels bad that he cant do anything anymore
