It's been a very busy couple of days for me here in Deutschland, and even though I've got so much to write about the bike trip we took on Sunday, I'm really just plain exhausted and overwhelmed with my new German class that started on Monday. Therefor, our biking adventure story is postponed until later this week, when hopefully I'll have recovered from intensive German shock.
The Goethe Institute had all of us take a short exam to test our Deutsch skills on Monday in order to place us in our classes. My German ended up being too advanced (imagine that!) for the beginners class, and not advanced enough for the advanced beginners class (story of my life!).
So they decided to have me try out the advanced beginners class and I've been working working working ever since. It's been pretty difficult because I understand quite a lot, but I can't speak. I have such a limited vocabulary and that makes it very hard to express myself. We'll see how long I last in this level... It's a tough situation because I don't want to pay all this money to learn everything I already learned this summer in my classes at the Germanic American Institute, but I also don't want to be totally lost with these advanced speakers....
I promise you pictures and a much more upbeat and interesting post by Thursday at the latest. Promise....
Love,
Deborah
