My German Learning Experience | Late post


Okay well this is a late post on what happened on Monday when i had my second German lesson. I didn't really feel too cooperative during the lesson I seemed unreasonably annoyed to participate in the activities which included saying aloud words individually and then finally saying a whole paragraph in German.

Although that lesson, for me, wasn't a very enjoyable session i sincerely hope they get better considering it I am giving up an option space for this, I could have easily picked something else...

My German Learning Experience | Lesson 1:

My German Learning Experience | Lesson 1:

The reason that I picked German was because the language is associated with a lot of engineering companies such as Audi, Siemens and Porsche. My first lesson with my teacher (Herr Bentley) was alright, we were tasked with saying why we chose German. Some of the obvious answers were because it was a good engineering language but a few chose it because it was something new.

I am really looking forward to continuing to learn German, I suspect that it will be a good attribute considering my aspirations of becoming an architect or possibly an engineer. The language is pretty difficult to begin with, some of the words are quite difficult to put into context...like for example, Herr Bentley would make us listen to him speak in German and try to work out what he was saying, I for one had no clue but there was a pupil who understood some German and could understand various phrases...
