Hehe, yesterday was my first day at Inlingua, the language school where I'm enrolled in to learn to speak Deutsch (German). I think I'm meant to study my whole life, I have just left one educational institution to join another one, haha. I do enjoy learning new languages, didn't think I would like Deutsch but I have to say, it's grown on me. ;D
The first lesson was just to learn how to introduce yourself, a bit of vocab and grammar, the usual stuff, you know. I am in a class of just over 1o people, which is fine for socialising but I find that the class a bit slow for my liking at the moment. I've had a few months to get to used to the language so I'm picking up the basics pretty quickly - wish it would go faster. :( Ah, I'm sooo impatient! I'm sure it'll get harder later and then, I'll be glad for its slow pace. As for the people in my class, there are, like, 2 south koreans, 1 thai, 1 russian, 1 belarusian (from Belarus or Weissrussland, so am I right to call her that?), 1 polish, 2 italians and 1 chilian.
So let me introduce myself (using my pen name) in Deutsch:
Haha, I did learn more than that during the class. After all, it was 3 hours long and this will be every weekday for 5 weeks. The teacher is really nice, talks to you mainly in Deutsch to get you used to listening to it.
Oh no, just realised - I have hausaufgabe!!! Homework, and I haven't done it! It's like 1.30 am now! Hmmm, better remember to do it tomorrow morning before class, haha! Does that sound familiar? ;P
Anyway, gute nacht! Bis morgen... maybe! ;D

great blog, Lin-chan. I am toying with the idea of some form of web-based system of keeping people informed of my life in the German-speaking world of Switzerland!
oh and yes. a very grim look on my face on your submission night, but oh well, I can't help my flashophobia! :D
Danke, eoin-chan! I think you should think about getting one, I found that I kept in touch with my friends in Brunei more this way! :)
