I was so happy to hear that, last night, the German friends I have made here have said that my German is now so good that I am able to convey all of my ideas and thoughts (which is a wonderful thing to hear!!) but needs to become better in the way that I say my thoughts and ideas (which is really difficult, meaning I need a LOT more training and practice!) However, hearing this I was very pleased at how much I have improved since August. It is now just the correct grammar and the correct der, die, oder das to use for my everyday speech that will make the difference. Of course, that will not be easy to do, but with a few more months at the DeutschAkademie, hopefully I can improve in these areas! I have already signed up for the next month, and I was pleased to hear that I have the same teacher as before. Even more, we will incorporate a new book to learn from, which I think will be quite helpful as each book, I believe, has a different way to explain concepts, definitely good for learning languages… I think with more german school, my new german job, and practicing my german everyday continuously, my German will be even better in the upcoming months! And that makes me soooo excited, because my goal is to become one day fluent in German (C1-C2) and I am now enrolled in B2 (1). It does not feel so far away now!
