German
Me and Andrea are going to attempt to learn German, in fact I would hope that by the end of 2007 if we take a trip out there we won’t be ridiculed for being lazy Scots who couldn’t be bothered to learn the local tongue.
I’ve always liked the language, I’m not sure why. I only did it for a year at school, my wish to do it as a Standard Grade level scuppered because it clashed with something else on my chosen timetable (Speech + Drama probably). I’ve read a bit of the book so far, and we got some CD’s as well, and I’m surprised at how much I’ve remembered from not only my previous brush with the language, but also just in the few hours I’ve had time to look at it for.
It might be a different matter altogether however once I move onto more advanced topics. I see some mighty big words in the later pages.
