Just last week I finished my intensive German language course in the city. I took it for 4 weeks so I have a grasp of understanding and speaking German now. You could even say I can speak Deunglisch now :)
Every morning I hopped on the SBahn and changed to an UBahn at the city center.
Then I just had to walk a couple of blocks to my class. It was just a little was away from the Universtiy and Mariernplatz (City Center).
And these are the friends I made from class. We kept each other good company after class when we would play around in the city. We almost always went to the Englisch Gartens to play soccer, sit by the river, go to a beer garden (always our first choice), or get ice cream together. They are from all over the world (Venezula, Brazil, California, Switzerland, and Italy). I loved to talk about the culture comparisons. We were an odd bunch though haha
I'm so glad I was able to do this. Zeljko says that one day I will be thinking in German... Haha that will be the day! But for now everything I hear and say I still translate in my head. And my grammar is terrible! But I'm trying! I'm really enjoying learning it. It is so nice to be able to have a little more communication with the boys. And their English is improving a lot too! I have been so impressed with how hard they are trying to talk with me and understand English. My classes aren't over though. I am switching to another class that is two days a week and meets here in Germering. So I am excited to start that up next week!
loved this! :)
