Hello People,

I have been continously taking three months of courses in DeutschAkademie and I have found practice the best way to improve. It doesn’t matter how much time you spend studying the books and reviewing your notes, if you do not go out and practice what you have learned in the classes, you will not be able to improve.  My husband now he starts to speaking me in German.

Also when I go to the supermarket, shops, or retaurants I only speak German. Of course it would be easier to speak in English, and almost everyone would understand faster, and of course I make mistakes and have made a fool of myself a lot of times, but I think it is only my making mistakes that you will learn from them.

You can always take a look at your notes or ask the teacher to see where you made a mistake and how is the proper way to speak. In real life this is not the case but I have found people really patient and helpful, since they know I am trying hard to speak German and want to see me suceed. I have found the courses very complete but if you do not work outside the class and actually use the knowledge you have been given, all the work inside the classroom will be in vain.

Now I am really happy because I can start talking in German with my husband or write emails. Today I went to make an appoitment to do my nails and I only spoke in German with out making any mistake!!!

Lookig forward to make my nails and have a relax time for me!!

LG, PAO
