Talking about German

20 13 began to learn german in September, and it has been more than three years.

Apart from recommending two German songs in the first half of the year, I haven't written any articles about German. First, the skill is still shallow; Second, I really feel that there is nothing to say.

Today, I want to talk about my course of learning German. It's not how awesome I am now, but I hope to urge myself to make progress through sharing!

I have read many articles by writers who study small languages, and most of them say that they like learning languages very much, which can generally be traced back to when they were learning English. And I, to be honest, don't like English very much!

Some people not only like it, but also want to improve themselves, or study abroad, or work in a foreign company, all of which require work.

However, all these high reasons do not belong to me. I want to use two words to sum up my initial intention of learning a foreign language, that is, "pretending to be forced" to make myself look awesome!

I remember when I was at school, chicken soup for the soul was very popular, which was similar to "girls should understand the truth" and "girls should enrich themselves in this way". Like many girls, I watched it stupidly and even forwarded it to QQ space. Most of these articles will mention one thing, that is, learning a foreign language other than English At that time, I was poisoned.

In addition, there was a girl in the dormitory who was very interested in Japan and had a good family, so she signed up for a Japanese class outside. I always think she is very powerful, although I envy her, but after all, I am short of money and it is too difficult to teach myself, so give up!

The idea was not put into practice until I got my salary after graduation. Why did you finally choose German?

I think this is an extension of German feelings ... which is mixed with a fascination with a series of historical films about World War II made in Germany. The complex of "Germanic indomitable national spirit", "rigorous work attitude" and "high quality made in Germany"; Curiosity about a country where school education is free; Plus her boyfriend is in Germany. In this way, I chose German!

I have read such a story about language learning: if the language is compared to a forest, English learners come in and come out smiling; Korean learners go in to laugh and come out to cry; Japanese learners go in to cry and come out to laugh; German learners cry when they go in and cry when they come out. This sentence probably shows that learning German is not easy.

I first came into contact with German in September, 20 13. It is no exaggeration to say that I really cried. At that time, I enrolled in a German training class in Nantah, working from Monday to Friday and having classes on Saturday and Sunday.

Because of busy work, I often miss a day of class. At that time, I was still on probation and didn't dare to neglect my work. Even on the first day of school, I reported in the morning. As soon as I learn ABC, I have to rush to the company to work overtime. Sometimes it's common to work overtime for two days on weekends and miss school for two days!

Later, I gradually discovered the law of teachers' class, and I had to take new lessons every week. Generally, I will definitely speak grammar on Saturday morning. So if the leader arranges overtime, I will inform you in advance and adjust the overtime time to afternoon and evening. It takes nearly an hour from where I live to Nantah, and it basically takes an hour from Nantah to the company. At the end of the day, I feel "on the road"!

To tell the truth, those three months were very tiring. Although I persisted in the end, the effect was not good!

20 14, the work is still very busy. Although I signed up for Class A2 in the spring of March-June, I decided to push the course to the next period before the school started. So, after a year, 20 14, I continued to attend A2 in September. However, due to industry reasons, overtime is too frequent, and many classes are still missing. Coupled with the complexity and arduousness of German learning, I really don't need it in my work and life, so I slowly slackened off.

In 20 15 years, I got a license with my boyfriend. After living in a different place for nearly 10 months, I plan to quit my job and go to Germany.

German family reunion visa requires A 1 certificate. Although I have already passed A2, the level really hasn't been reached. At that time, I missed too many classes in class, and I haven't seen them for a long time. I basically forgot some of the fur I learned before. Fortunately, there are still two months before the exam. So I get up at 5: 30 every morning to read, watch after work at night, listen with headphones on the subway, and finally pass the exam with good grades!

For more than two years, learning German has not brought me any happiness and happiness, but infinite fatigue and running around!

I didn't try to answer "Guten Tag!" until the German handsome guy at the customs greeted me with a smile at Frankfurt Airport. (hello) ". He asked again, can you speak German? I said, yes, a little! Then he began to ask me some questions in German, such as why you came to Germany. When I can answer all the questions, I feel the value of learning German for the first time: it is a kind of happy satisfaction after paying!

In 20 16, in Germany, I began to really get in touch with German.

German is as rigorous and tough as Germanic people: from the small tongue sound R, the yin and yang of nouns, the change of verb strength, to the adjective suffix, the third case and the fourth case, each one will make beginners flinch and have a headache! As for my study level in China, taking classes in Germany is like listening to a sealed book. It is good that I can often understand 20% of a class, and half of this 20% is grammar. I think the grammar foundation is not bad, and the teacher often speaks grammar, which is also my best time.

After class, going to a nearby cafe for coffee with my classmates also makes me feel embarrassed, because most of my classmates have stayed in Germany for a long time, and their spoken English is already very good, but I can only listen stupidly and can't get in touch. I remember the first time I went to a party at a friend's house. Without good language, I can only laugh silly. I enjoyed watching others chat throughout the party, and I don't want to mention how lost I am.

After a year of study, it is more convenient to live and do things in Germany; Now go to the party again, and you can participate in everyone's topic; I don't want to avoid the reunion. I can bring Chinese food to share with them. I will meet my Chinese partner once a week to exchange problems in my study. We had a good chat, and I began to like learning German!

Made many friends. Realize that there will always be people who work harder than you in this world!

I took two German classes in China and made many friends. Although we are far apart now, we will still greet each other on holidays and praise each other in the circle of friends.

There are 32 people in the German class of A 1, and the most impressive one is a 74-year-old sister. She is not only 20 years later than the youngest sister in 1994, but also because of her courage and hard work in learning languages at this age. Like me, she works from Monday to Friday and attends classes on weekends. She takes the train from Chuzhou to Nanjing every morning, and then takes the subway to Nantah for classes. As far as I am concerned, she is seldom late and seldom absent from class. The teacher is very active when she asks people to read the text or answer questions in class. It is also the best one in our middle school with more than 30 students!

And she also makes me feel that I am not the worst one, but I don't work hard enough!

Broaden your horizons and learn about other countries' cultures!

In two German classes in Germany, I met Victoria, an all-round Filipino sister. She can cut hair, sew and sew needles. Vasca, a hospitable Macedonian beauty, let me know about this small country near Greece; The courtesy of Japanese girl Ikue and the good Japanese food make me feel that "marrying a Japanese daughter-in-law" is not groundless; Doha, a little girl in Syria, makes me feel that refugees are not all so annoying.

Not long ago, I joined a multilingual club. On this website, I met several pen pals! Some are from France, Germany, Russia and Spain. Most of them can speak more than three languages. Some are studying and want to find a pen pal to practice. Also, when I worked in other countries before, I was already very skilled. I don't need to go back to China for a long time, but I'm afraid I'll forget it. I want to find someone to practice. There is also a Russian named Alex who wants to go to China as an exchange student. He has never been abroad, but he is proficient in English, German and Spanish, and knows some French and Portuguese. Imagine, when a China and a Russian write letters and communicate in German, that feeling is very wonderful!

Understand the meaning of persistence!

I have been in contact with German for more than three years, but actually I have only studied it for more than one year, which is also a year from real introduction to improvement. This year's persistent study has made me see my progress and understand the significance of persistence.

At the party the other day, I asked a China student if he was learning German.

He replied, no, I'm too busy. If I give him two months, I will only learn German, and he will certainly learn it well!

I say language is a gradual process. If you can spare an hour or so to study every day, it is better to stick to it than to stop studying for two months!

He replied that the point is that he can't spare an hour now.

I didn't say anything. When I first came to Germany, I attended the B 1 class for two months and passed the B 1 exam with high marks. Judging from the score, it should be very good. I got 20 points in writing, even 19, but so what? I still find it difficult to communicate, and I still don't understand all kinds of things when I go out to work! On the contrary, in the next few months, I kept studying every day. When I looked back, I found that I had made a lot of progress than before!

I saw this sentence in my German assistant yesterday:

Just like this sentence, at the beginning of learning German, it brought me endless pain and suffering, plus it was not used at all, which seemed like a bad decision. But after sticking to a certain degree and making a breakthrough, I found that German brought me too much and changed me too much!

Learning German, I went in crying, but I enjoyed it! Therefore, no matter how difficult it is in the future, I hope I will stick to it and fight German to the end!

Even if I go back to China later, I don't need it. Can you at least teach your children yourself?
