In my Duolingo, I have reached the point of “ich heiße” (“my name is”). I was reciting “ich heiße Frau Merkel. Ich bin Kanzlerin” at work when I realized that the German professor was in his office next door. He probably now thinks I’m completely cracked.
Yes, these are the exercises. I preferred the one with “ich heiße Johann Wolfgang von Goethe” but then we got stuck on Frau Merkel.
