Hallo,

So today is the second day of lessons. A lot of the things I learnt before coming to Munich are now so much clearer. As they say here…” Alles klar!!!” I can now just about say “Ich” much better too. However, today, I was presented with “Welcher Sprachen sprichst du?” (I never knew it was possible to say so many “Shps” in a row!”

We learnt lots of verbs today too, went over basic questions from yesterday and learnt how to same names of lots of different languages. My favourite and most tricky is  ” Franzoesisches” which many of my class mates can speak.

They are all from al over the world – 2 guys and 8 girls.

1 Lybian guy, 1 Pakistani guy and 8 girls incluing me from:

USA, Venezuela, Portugal, Norway, 2 from Italy, 1 half Polish, half Swedish and of course me from England. It’s interesting… they are all very different but all seem to have a common “American” accent.Hmmm…. how does that work?Anyway, they are all very nice and everyone helps each other. I’ll share more about them tomorrow.

We did a lot more speaking today which I liked because I really need to practice my pronunciation. I found out that to get a qualification too, I must do an oral exam…. so bring on the chat, chat, chat!!!!!

My husband has been very supportive and practiced speaking with me almost as soon as I got home today. It really helps to reinforce everything and I am very grateful as I realised I still make lots of mistakes.

The Lybian guy only learnt English 9 months ago and he is very fluent but now wants to leave the Deutsch course because he isn’t understanding everything yet.  I hope he stays because he really has a good understanding and ability to speak English. Let’s just say, if I can speak German as well as he can speaks English – we are really on to a winner. I think everyone else agrees too. I guess, we’ll find out tomorrow.

Tschuss.
