German class today.

I woke up from a happy scream from a child this morning. I felt pretty tried and didn't really want to leave my bed this early but I know there is no way of falling to sleep again after that.

Morning routine happened. I had my coffee and left the apartment for school.

Somewhere before I got on the u-bahn I downloaded German flash card for my Kindle and I learned words all the way to school. I knew many of the words but some where also new. All I miss in the flash cards where example sentences of how to use the words, but hey - I can't expect wonders for $3.44.

First class about syntax and we read some news paper article about the economical crisis in Greece. I'm such a learning junkie and think grammar is a hoop. I really want to learn and sit and write everything down, first to answer when I know and I try when I don't know. Going to class, even if it sometimes can be hard to get there due to the lack of sleep or coffee, is awesome. I do really like it. And I feel like I'm in such a great class. We're all equally good and we all struggle with different kind of grammar or syntax and we learn for each other and the teachers. My class mates really wants to learn, just like me.

After the break we have another teacher and an other topic.

Today was probably the day I learned the most in one in a half hours. We talked about street German and read a text about SMS sent to the wrong persons. And then we talked about pronunciation. This was the best lesson I ever had in German pronunciation. I can't say I had many before (if any. Teachers that I had in Sweden and Rostock has never bothered with teaching it, just correcting when I say it wrong, without explanation), but you think that when you learn a language you should learn the right way to speak it from the start, right? Wrong.

I was all ears and went directly from class to the büro and said that I will prolong my course. I don't want classes to end this week, so four more weeks (at least) I will be taking German.

And as I took the u-bahn home, reading flash cards and talking out loud to myself I was just so glad about that I decided on that school and that I'm in the right class.

I'm just waiting for classes tomorrow and really looking forward. (Yes, yes, I am a nerd. I think that is already established though out this blog. If not, more nerdyness is about to burst out of me here anytime.)

The day has gone up from there with a care-pack from home. My (former) room mate, Anna, in Sweden knows me so well and I just laughed when I opened it. My signed copy of John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars" (I've waited for this books since last summer) was in it so I spent the hour before work reading it and laughing. I will continue now while I hear children running around (play date) with their fast feet flying over the floor.
