Hallo everyone!
My colleagues and I had our first test yesterday. We were a bit worried about it but everything went well.
As we are on the first level A1 the test is very simple. We learnt how to introduce ourselves, the numbers, plural and verb conjugation (present tense) so far.
We are able to go to a Café and introduce ourselves “Hallo, Ich heiβe Gabi. Ich komme aus Brasilien und wohne in München. Ich bin 24 Jahre alt und bin Praktikant. Ich spreche Portugiesisch und tanze samba gern“ and to order something to drink and the bill: “ Zwei Kaffee bitte! Ich mochte zahlen, bitte!“.
The course gets even more interesting and exciting when you go to some place and see that you are able to comprehend a bit about what they are talking about. This is very rewarding!
For me the best way to learn is to read again and again the same things to memorize them. A friend of mine told me once that she used to stick some notes on her wall so she could see it every day. I did the same thing and it seems to be working! You should try as well!
See ya!
Gabi
