Hello there! I started learning German a few months back and I’m in the B1 level now.  Remember my first Stammtisch when we all introduced ourselves and most people said B1/B2 while I was in A1.

They seemed and sounded very confident to me. I found me wondering to myself “Will I be like them when I get to B1/B2 levels?

And guess what, I think I am. When you look at a new skill or project or practically anything in life, it seems as a mountain that cannot be crossed. But we often forget that we don’t have to jump over the mountain to the other side. We just have to put one front before/above the other till the task is done.

So, the takeaway for me is – break anything into little tasks and start achieving it gradually. While in the process, don’t forget the perks which come out of it – In my case, Deutsch films, plays, books, people and places!

And one thing which is a fact is that there is no absoluteness in the case of languages. Even a native speaker of a language learns something new about his/her language suddenly. So, let’s just be better than what we were yesterday is all!
