„The king is dead. Long live the king!“ the people used to say long time ago.

That’s pretty much what I can say now, that my first class at Deutsch Akademie is ending. This is my final B1 week and, somehow, I feel sorry that some of my colleagues won’t go on with me and my teachers, Stefan und Wibke, won’t join us for the next level.

On the other hand, though, I’m really looking forward to move on. To learn more, to meet new people, to feel my German is improving. Most colleagues go on with the B2 class same hour as I do, which will be fun, because we’ll know each other and we’ll feel comfortable talking and joking to each other, making silly mistakes or playing different games. We’ll be like a small family.

B1.2 refreshed our memory in terms of grammar but also brought new words into our vocabulary. There was no day without a game, without laughter and good time. At first, I have to admit, I was afraid the evening classes would be a nightmare. That we’ll all be tired and moody. But, to my surprise, I was leaving the class fresher than getting in. So, if you just happen to read these lines before registering for a 6pm class, don’t worry, it’s really good!

Now, that I already got familiar with the colleagues and the place, I’m pretty sure that B2.1 will be even better. Less than a week left…tic-tac…tic-tac…tic-tac…

Before getting to the next level, though, let me present you some of my colleagues:

In the very first picture is Tomoko, my Japanese colleague, passionate by modern dance

Cristina, my colleague from Barcelona, who just turned 26

Daniel, a big noodle lover from Italy, and Piotr, our Polish engineer

Aleksandra, a future famous architect from Macedonia, and me, your story teller:)
