German Class

I enrolled in a cheap beginner German class for longer-term visitors and immigrants. It is me, Lenka, two people from Turkey, one from Italy, one from Libya, one from Morocco and another American (who, by the way speaks zero German and is capable of making the most confused face I have ever seen on a human being).

I wanted to quit after the first class. My teacher allowed very little English, Arabic or Turkish to be spoken, and no one understood enough German to tell what the hoot was going on. But Lenka encouraged me to stick with it, and the second class was much better.

We will see if the immersion approach pays off.
