Back to School

I finally got myself squared away with the Goethe Institut. It took a few phone calls to figure out what German class I should take down here. It's supposed to be standardized, but it seems my classes in DC moved at a faster pace than the ones here (yeah, America rules!!!), so the language coordinator at Goethe had to do some research to figure out where to stick me. So Monday night, it's back to class for me. I'm hoping to get my knowledge of German up to the level of your average German Shepherd by the end of the year.

As my last Lehrer once said, "You don't have to be smart to learn German. There are lots of dumb Germans who speak German very well."
