As a university student,I decided to learn German.For some reasons,I really liked
the language,but I was not very good at learning it.The grammar 7 me a lot and
even drove me crazy.My only advantage was
-I got an A on every word test I
took.After two years of studies,I struggled (to communicate in German and
signed up to study in Germany to complete my degree.It was the 9 term I would
ever have.
The moment I arrived in Germany,I felt like I was starting from the beginning.The German I had learned in
university wasn't 10 for everyday conversation.I was often nervous at school,and worried about whether the
teachers would call on me in class and whether I'd understand their questions.I only felt a little 11 with my
eight roommates,who were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn't seem to mind my
12
I chose to study three courses-reading writing,grammar and history.All were in German and 13
and the history class was the worst.The teacher spoke so 14t
that almost everything he said flew over my
head.I sat in the front,took notes and even recorded every single word he said in class,but 15 helped.I had
no idea what the class was really about.
Years have passed.I can finally speak German,but I still remember how it felt to struggle so hard at 16
another language.That trip was a difficult but valuable lesson.I think my failure taught me just as much as my
success
