Fail

I fail at writing this blog regularly. I know you all missed my brilliant wit and sarcasm terribly.

I recently went to Madrid. Obviously it was charming and beautiful and all the other things Madrid is famed for. But I also got to see some of my friends from Kodai and that is always special. Running around any city with them is always a riot. I walked and ate way too much, as usual. One of my friends very sweetly introduced me to a Bakery close to our Hostel and for the rest of the trip every single time I past by I bought a Napolitana. Not so good for my stunning figure. :) Hearing Spanish everywhere I went wasn’t so good on the learning German front though.

Once back in Germz it felt like I had forgotten all of the little German I had managed to learn in the first two months. Not the best feeling to have when you are going into a class where everyone has been learning German for at least half a year. Of course it wasn’t quite the disaster I thought it was going to be. Yes, the class is difficult and trying to figure out the 12049838573285 tenses in German is still proving a next to impossible task. Next to impossible. I can’t even count the amount of times I have heard someone say that it is impossible to be fluent in German unless you started learning it as a child. NO. I must disagree. I will prove these fools wrong. (In twenty years.)

Here is something extremely entertaining you can all read. http://www.crossmyt.com/hc/linghebr/awfgrmlg.html

It’s funnier if you are actually learning the language but Mark Twain was spot on and will hopefully make you laugh anyway.
