German classes.

I wrote that I stated school but nothing about it.

I stated to take German classes two weeks ago. I enrolled in GLS Sprachzenturm in Prenzlauer Berg. A school I heard good about. Not that close to my home but hey riding the u-bahn is not that bad.

The day before my first day I was pretty nervous and didn't sleep good at all. I did shitty on the placement test, where the teachers are suppose to see what level of German you are at. I also got to speak to one of the teachers to decide which group and level I should be placed in.

I was pretty disappointed with myself when I got a level that I think is to easy for me, and that I've all ready taken (it was 2008, but still) and swore a bit while drinking my coffee before the first class.

I was right. First day of classes was not good. I was grumpy, annoyed and the best in the class. The grumpy and annoyed I can blame the sleeplessness on. My classmates just made me feel bad because I felt like I wouldn't learn anything in this class. I decided to give it another day before I asked to be moved up a level.

The next day was better. I was still the best in class, but the grumpiness was gone and I didn't mind as much to repeat grammar I haven't done in some years. I stated to get to know my class and they where not bad at all. Quite lovely actually. And spoke German all the time and really wanted to learn, which felt like fun. So I went another day without saying anything.

On the third day I decided that it was time to say something. I'm paying for class so I might as well learn something and not explain to my class mates what basic words are or basic grammar. I was told that I would change class the following Monday so I had some more days with my class and they are really funny, friendly and welcoming.

I had a lot of fun with them but was pretty glad I changed classes last Monday.

I found my new class room and new class mates that Monday. New teachers.

Slow and the class was not as good I hoped it would be. I sighed and didn't know what to do. Just ask to be placed in another class, I thought but I didn't really want to. I got my jacket and was about to leave the class room when the afternoon teacher stopped me and asked if I thought the class was to easy for me. Yes, I did. She had noticed and said I would change classes again the next day.

I'm so happy that I got to change classes again!

The class I'm in now is the best. It's just the level I'm at and takes up new things that I haven't learned yet. I have great class mates (two of them are Swedish of course) and my teachers are awesome. I'm so happy to go to school every morning now that it doesn't matter that I just got four hours of sleep last nigh.

Going to class is great and I really like learning. I almost wish that I got more homework. Yes, so happy am I at the moment. I have two more weeks of class and if this flow continues I will mange those weeks just splendid.
