    There are lots of regional differences indeed. I'm not an expert, so I'd love confirmation on this, but from what I've read, it is especially different in Bavaria and Austria, and also in South western regions...

    Hi @allen10086
    Great question! You're absolutely right that eins functions as a direct object pronoun here, and German word order rules can be tricky.
    In general, German follows the TeKaMoLo (Temporal - Kausal - Modal - Lokal) structure for adverbial phrases, but pronouns tend to take precedence. When you have a direct object pronoun (eins), it typically comes before time expressions like morgen. This is why "Du musst morgen eins kaufen" is correct rather than "Du musst eins morgen kaufen".

    This is a special case where the presence of a pronoun slightly overrides the usual time-first rule. Keep up the great work, and let us know if you have any other questions!

    I started Fluenz German a few weeks ago. Many years ago I did all 5 levels of Fluenz Spanish, and loved it. I just completed German Lesson 18, and Sonia said "go to the commons and tell us your favorite part", so here I am. It is definitely fun, but a bit more challenging than I remember Spanish, because of the cases and genders. The instruction and program is great. My favorite part is the listening comprehension parts, where you have to type in the sentences that you've heard.

    Anybody else working through German right now? I would be also interested in recommendations for supplementing Fluenz as well. Also, I am doing 1 lesson per day, but I really have 2 or more hours per day that I can spend on this, so I'm curious if doing two lessons is a good idea, or if I should simply study the material I've learned more and keep at that pace.
