Hi all,

as we sail through this german course at Deutsch Akademie some progress can be seen. First of all I fell I can understand most of the spoken german of our teacher, at least I can follow her instructions or even appreciate some jokes! The most difficult part I think is the vocabulary… unlike Spanish or Portuguese, it’s hard to guess the meaning of most of the words, which does not show any connection with my native language. The teacher plays a key role in this, explaining a particular word by paraphrasing it.

Speaking about limitations, I would say that my biggest one is not being able to tell a story happened in the past or to guess the proper gender of substantives.

BUUUT it’s been only a month since I started my way through Deutsch so I feel pretty much achieved for now!

That’s what happens if you piss off your Lehrerin! ^^

Bis später!

Filippo
