The Language Project - A new thing I'm starting...

So, I've been fluffing up dust everywhere whilst cleaning my room... And I found my good old German Verbs handbook.

And I'm going to try and take on this ridiculous project... Which is to go through the book one page a day (there are about 188 pages), take the verb and use it in a sentence that is immediately relevant to my current being... And, not only will I write this sentence is German, I will also translate it into French and Chinese (both traditional and simplified)!

For today, I had the verb "ankommen" which means "to arrive". So here is my first entry!

Ankommen - to arrive

Ich bin in Vancouver letzte Woche angekommen.

Je suis arrivé à Vancouver la semaine dernière.

我在溫哥華上星期到達了.

And yeah... I'll see where this goes, or how much I can actually learn/retain.

Linguistically gifted people, please bear with me!
