Vanessa Lakits, hi; I just want to let you know and understand that lerning any language depends on the environ you find yourself, the type of people you do always like to mingle with at work ,in your leasure time, this will determine how rapid your learning of any language is vital,
for example you want to learn a language and you alway stays at home with someone speaking your mother language, how could you learn faster, my working in a public service firm as an African has brought alot of changes in my life knowing and understanding the Austrian, spanish,cubans,latinos Assians,. this has really expossed me in another dimenssion of proffession, Public Relations, so if you want to make things happen just try to find yourself in a museum, kino with deutsch speaking film translated and writting in english, restuarants where only german speaking people are ,try as much as possible to always see youself in an atmospheric deutsch speaking environ, within 4 to 6 months i believe you will be relieved alittle of not being afraid of any language, Is like you are in a jurney of to live in a wild life full with different kinds of Mamals, Lion,goats, Cats, Monkeys"Lions ARE THERE to make you afraid but you still need to understand their language, while she goat is their for milk making but you still need to understand her,Cat is for confort at home but you need to learn her language,And Monkey is to tell and show you all about the jungle you might have find yourself , Vorstehen Sie", do you understand me, i take learning of any language as adding some spices and opportunity of knowing people,having contacts, connections,friends,and understanding peoples culture, the way they Dress, look,cook,greet,hair styles,the unity interms of party or fest,etc. I hope with my little ellaboration on your quest you are ready to rumble and get some spices into your life,
Thx, and Regards,
Awesome David.
