Few months ago, while in Romania, I started my first German classes with a private teacher – Madame Daianu. She was a 60 year old woman, very beautiful and warm. The perfect grandmother look!
After few classes, she wanted to do something a bit more interesting. “Let’s read Little Red Riding Hood” she said. I got really excited about reading a real story, not just a short fragment of a lesson, but my excitement lasted for… only two lines. Because the text seemed to me really complicated and most of the words were new. She took the book away and said “Hmm…I think it is too difficult for you…”
So, here I am, carrying my 29 years for nothing. Because, when it comes to German language, I’m still a baby!
Yesterday I attended my third German class at Deutsch Akademie and the baby feeling came back to me. Because, during the class, we played with dices and numbers, we wrote with colored pencils and turned some colored pages into posters. We asked each other all sort of funny questions and got interesting answers. Do you know why the sun is yellow or why are the people lazy? I found out yesterday!
We worked in teams, we spoke about our favourite movies and shared experiences. The atmosphere was really positive and all students enjoyed the class. Once again, all those games and colors made me feel like I was 4 again and I was just about to turn 5 in another language.
I simply love being a kid! Because children can easily learn anything. Even German.
