If, for example, you find the present tense easy but don’t understand the perfect tense (despite having been taught it), just enjoy writing sentences in the present tense and then look up what you need for the perfect tense. Keep on practising, but at the same time enjoy using the German you already find easy. They were designed to help learners, so use them. If you need to read a section in your grammar book again or watch another grammar video, do it! That’s what they are there for. If, for example, you can only make past tense sentences with a sheet of irregular verbs by your side, use it! It’s not cheating, it’s helping to learn whatever you are struggling with. Practise every day but don’t get too worked up about the bits you are struggling with. Finally he reminds you to practise every day! He also reminds you of his tutorial where he explains every main move in detail and he encourages people to go back and check if they are in any doubt. When he says “If it’s not really going that far today, talk to me in a couple of weeks, because I know that it’s gonna keep going”, he expects you to carry on trying and not to give up. Yes, it annoys me that I can’t do them but I practise them and then move on, because I know there are other moves that I CAN do. There are still many moves I can’t do, but that doesn’t stop me from doing the exercises. He reminds people to use a chair or make adjustments to their moves if they have to, to make the workout THEIR workout. Some can do the moves easily, other take ages to learn them. Just like I give tips and instructions to people learning German, he talks to those who are learning his yoga moves. That’s the tutorial, that’s why I set it all up for you. And if you’re having any trouble with any of these moves, go back to the ‘Diamond Dozen’.If it’s not really going that far today, talk to me in a couple of weeks, because I know that it’s gonna keep going!.Do whatever works for you! Your workout – your call!.Make your workout your own! If you need to use a chair, use it!.Well, as I worked our way through the DVDs I noticed that some of the things DDP says during the exercises could have just as easy been said by me to my German learning students. For those of you who don’t know it, DDP Yoga has been developed by Diamond Dallas Page (American semi-retired professional wrestler, fitness instructor, motivational speaker and actor. For months my son had been nagging me to do some yoga and each time I declined because I had tried it before and found it extremely boring.
