This evening I had my first private German lesson on a one-to-one basis. I have been frustrated for too long regarding my lack of fluency in the language and hope that these regular weekly lessons will significantly improve my skills, as well as my employment prospects.

I was very rusty today but it did start to come back towards the end of the session. My German knowledge has always been unique due to my living there for a while - and my love for German music - so individual learning is the best option I feel. Let's hope it works.

Viel Glück (und viel Spaß)! ;)

Glück ist notwendig, glaube ich.

Naja, es heißt ja — Glück muß man haben, denn Glück gehört dazu. :)

Wird schon klappen!

Ich hoffe :)

I could do with learning a bit more German before next year's EF. The trouble is that most Germans don't understand what little of the language I do know due to my accent.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Can you work on your accent to speak German in a different way?

[red-fox-gt.livejournal.com]

Ja, Mein deutche ist grundlegend. Ich will lernen mehr Deutsch :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

I think you are missing an e off grundlegend :P

[skiehawk.livejournal.com]

My German is so neglected :/

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Would you like to learn more?

[skiehawk.livejournal.com]

Basically yes.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Can you easily do that where you are?

[skiehawk.livejournal.com]

Matter of time, will and priority :)

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

I had that problem too - I think a break in your schedule will come - either that or you force yourself to do it out of necessity.

Ich spreche nur ein wenig technische Deutsch.

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Ich brauche mehr technische Deutsch sprechen. Ich hoffe zu Deutschland zu verlegen.

Heh, if you need help just ask away!

[lupestripe.livejournal.com]

Any help you could provide would be appreciated :)

It remind me that I should try to start to fresh up my German again x.x haven't used German in 10 years so :P

Anyway, good luck with your learning :)

Thanks hun, I guess learning a language is only good if you are going to use it. I have battled with that mentality for a while.

Ah yes, I was meaning to do exactly the same thing at the beginning of the year, had even researched and made contact with some potential tutors ... and then got distracted with moving house.  And have been distracted ever since with "things on the horizon" that would prevent commitment to at least weekly sessions.

Now it's already the end of the year, and I can't start anything because I have three weeks out of the country coming up.  Argh!

Maybe next year, then.  I hope you have better luck!

I did the same thing to be honest - contacted the tutor back in January, moved house, wasn't paid for six months and only just now managed to get things sorted. I hope you can too :)
