Last day

Not a nice day because is the last day … but it is like that. With our teacher we had a check about all we studied in the last 4 weeks and, I think, our level is really good. Some of us will continue and will be nice to join them in the new level course: Tamara, Anastasiia and me we will join in the A1.2 course and we will have also the same teacher, great !!!! We thought to spend some time together at the end of the lesson, we thought to eat and drink something at the Isar but the weather was not really good so we had our “pic-nic” in the classroom, it was really funny :-)

So, see you soonnnnnn :-)

 

Near the end of the course

The course is near to the end and we are a little bit sad about that. We are from different countries and we are different but in the classroom the atmosphere was really easy and relaxed, we had fun and we enjoied a lot.

In 4 weeks we learned a lot, really, we can use “our” german for buying food, for asking and give informations, we can go to the restaurants and museum or cinema, we can take public transport, we can introduce ourselfes and have a conversation and so on … we can “survive” and also enjoy our stay in Germany :-)

About my collegues esperiences

During the coffee breaks I asked to my collegues about their experience in Munich and especially in Deutscheakademie and, as I previously supposed, all of them were happy about the course and they really enjoyed the town.
As I told at the beginning my collegues are much younger than me and for them was nice to go around and have some drinks in the Biergarten, some of them they will study longer at DeutscheAkademie like me :-)

About learning

I found interesting practice what we learn during the lessons. We have two book, one dedicated to homeworks and the other for grammar and language rules, we use the “Arbeitsbuch” during the lessons too so we can check in the real time if the new rules or verbs or sentences we got them.
The two books are intuitive and easy to use, many photos to help the understanding and sometimes we use also the CD (2, one for each book).

Nice to work in couple or groups, it’s funny and helpfull, so as talking during the coffe-break.

This is the last week, unbelievable … time runs, especially when you like what you do, and I like very much :-)

 

Mein Kuchen

Yesterday we studied a lot regarding food and beverage, we need to survive :-), actually I knew many words ’cause I love cooking and eating too as well drinking, mostly wine and beer. In my opinion that is a great subject, helps a lot the conversation too. Everybody needs to eat and everyone goes to a Pizzeria or a Restaurant, especially when you are in another country like us, and to know how to ask for the food you like without misunderstanding is absoluetly necessary !!!
One more “problem” to solve: to know which is the right beer for you …. so many and sooooo good !!!For homework we had to write a recipe and i thought could be nice to prepare it also, so during the coffe-break there was also the “Kuchen” I cooked, sehr lecker !!!

Multi-cultural people

Munich is a multicultural city, people from all over the world live you and also many tourist visit the town during all the year (not only for the Oktoberfest).

That’s give to Munich an interational status, if you come from the other side of the world, for tourism or living here, be sure, you can find what you need coming form your own country.

There are markets specialized in asian food, or african or from every part of Europe as weel as restaurants or shops selling different kind of clothes.

I think people from other countries are living here in a good level of tollerance.

I can say that Munich is a modern city but thigtly traditional at the same time, in the street and not in special days for special events, it’s easy to meet people of any age wearing their traditional dress … AMAZING !!!

Munich is a wonderful town

Studying and leaving in Munich is a great experience, about learning german I’m sure it will be really usefull for my future (job and travel) and Munich is a wonderful town where to live.

I especially love the parks, many, clean, and big … love going to the Isar for a sunbath with a beer and my homeworks, yes, i often go to the Isar and I do my homeworks there … so, I enjoy my spare time and I do something to be a good student at the same time :-).

What I also like is going around and, always, i found something interesting to see. I walk for kilometers around the city and when i am tired, be sure a pank in a park is waiting for me :-).

Historical buildings are great, one is the Rathaus with the “Glockenspiel” a carillon playing three times every day, the colour of the building is gray and it’s fantastic the result they got putting hundreds of pink geranium in the windows, amazing !

To have the best view of the Rathaus and to all the town i suggest to go up the Saint Peter Tower, you will be exhausted but happy :-)

I started to practice my German

Last day of the second week: now, for sure, we are able to “talk” german, I mean, simply conversations and simply questions but it is much more than before.

I really started to practice my german during my everyday life, before, I was using only my english but now I can and I want make questions in german and give the correct answers too, that’s great! :-)

Many new words, verbs and adjectives and we started to use the Akkusativ … In german it’s so important to know the article of the nouns.

Second week at DeutschAkademie

About my collegues, young and well motivated … this is the second week and we start to know each better, during our break we like to drink a coffe together and talk about the reason why we started to study german, something about where we live in Munich and what we like doing in the spare time.

Our cours finish at 18,00 so everyone of us runs to home or to buy food for the dinner, but i am sure we will find the time to do something togheter, probably to drink a beer :-) in a beer garden.
