Hallo Leute!

So I thought I’d take the opportunity to just talk about my experience these last few months. I’ve had quite an adventure with Deutsch Akademie courses. The first month I started Deutsch Akademie, I was in Wittenbergplatz and then the next month I went all the way to Alexanderplatz, right under the Fernsehturm and now I’m back at Wittenbergplatz. Now this might seem a bit verrückt but I had good reason! You see I was trying to find out what time, method, and location worked for me (did you see what a did there? listed time method and location in the order of TeKaMoLo. ha ha ? get it? no? ok fine). You see for the first month, I did the intensive course at 15:00-18:00, or was it 15:30-18:30? hmm Ich kann mich nicht erinnern. I found that to be a good course but also quite in the middle of the day, making it imperative to plan my day around it rather than with it. The second course I did was from 18:15-21:15, because I wanted to try a night class, but I ended up disliking the time arrangement more than the first haha ! It was mainly because I hated traveling from Alexanderplatz to my home (around a forty minute journey per BVG) every night. Having to cook dinner at 22:00 on the weekdays was not very fun lol. So finally last month, I switched back to Wittenbergplatz, but now I am doing the early morning special at 8:30! At first it was annoying to get used to having to wake up at 7:00 to get to class on time, but I have to say I have since gotten used to it and even quite enjoy it. The public transport is a bit crowded due to everyone being on their way to work but I enjoy it a lot more than being on the S-Bahn when everyone was coming home from work. At least I’m one with the tired crowd begrudgingly making their way into the busier part of the city. Waking up early isn’t terrible, unless you had a late night out the day before lol but I am definitely not an early bird. And even though I find myself yawning at inappropriate times during the first half hour of my course, i have to say this option the best for me.

Now I’m not going to claim one class is better than the other for everyone, as it obviously has everything to do with personal preference. But for me, I am definitely more satisfied with my choice this month than I was with the previous months. If you’re an early bird, then go full swing for the earliest course! If you’re a night owl like me, then i definitely recommend the latest course. Or if you like something in the middle, D.A provides two other courses that can fit into your plan very well. Whatever your choice, I hope you enjoy D.A. and all that it has to offer. I know I do!

Until then, bis bald!
