Default German studies

Hey, I just came back from my Sprachreisen-Trip and it was really fun and every penny spent was worth it. Just to tell my little story, this year I have been in Germany to take a so called. You learn a language by living and studying in the foreign country. This way I also got to know my boyfriend and many other friends I never will forget. With this kind of experience you are able to make a language vivid because you learn it by living and not only by reading books or repeating vocabulary.

For me it was fun to see how my language skills developed over the month. I also had this little tradition for myself, where I choose my own word of the month, new words you learn and repeat really often every day. Just use the language course or the Sprachkurse im ausland” to get the theoretical part of your studies and train your speaking skill by enjoying a different culture and getting to know new people. Just take the chance! For myself, I am still looking for a new adventure and good suggestions for traveling, so I am always open for new advices or tips.

I agree there is no better way to learn a new language than to spend time in a place where it is spoken all around you... I started to learn german using this language learning software I bought online. Even after six months of listening to the CD I was still unsure of some complexed sentence structures, which is where my visit to Germany helped massively... You also pick up on localisms which are often overlooked in formal tutions...

Where abouts in Germany did you stay??

I would have to agree. When I was in Mexico for a couple of weeks you start to just speak the language raher then thinking about it.
