I decided I needed to address an issue. My YouTube videos are in both English and German. But my blog posts are only in English. Some people wonder why that is. Well... there is a reason. I started American Baker in Germany as a blog. But my written German is a point where every little flaw is painfully obvious. I make a lot of mistakes when writing, particularly in the arena of der/die/das. Which article is correct? Nominative, accusative, dative, genetive? Which case?

Most people don't even hear my accent, or if they do, they don't mention it. I've lived in the country for ten years now. I didn't want to have a YouTube channel I couldn't have my neighbors watch.
