Update on Southern

Wie geht es Ihrien in Deutsch?  Nicht besonders gut
I began a class in German to complete my fourth research language for my PhD.  I started the class, but dropped it after two weeks.  The longer I remained in the class, it became evident to me it was an oral course rather than a reading/translation course which is what I need.  After the second day of class, my German instructor (who is German) was asking me questions in the mother tongue.  I knew I wouldn’t survive.  So I am reading German texts and waiting for my next step-either to test out of German or take a theological German reading course later in the year. Mach’s gut Deutsch.
