knallert forbudt

learning a new language is in my opinion maybe one of the most important experiences to make...
i just feel so stupid right now learning danish
i'm in a class where nearly all people speak danish much better than i do
we discuss all kind of live topics and i feel like a child that is not able to express itself in proper words, with the difference that that what i want to say is maybe much more complicated that what a child wants to express, i'm drowning in embarrasment nearly every time i want to say something
this is so frustrating...
and to go through this frustration, not become all angry when i don't understand anything (when i still don't understand after 3 times of repeating),
not to loose confidence, and not to become quiet might be quite a good character training, (aargh)
good that most people here also speak english ..

besides that it's really nice to figure that verbal communication is really not everything,
really like our neighborlivingcommune, two italians, a guy from switzerland, one other polish guy,
and a japanese girl. I really like her, and we have to repeat nearly every simple sentence we say to each other twice- german and japanese accented danish, you know
- but we just smile at each other and there is total understanding- it's really nice to have situations where both can't find words but you just know you understand each other (or believe to...)

some days ago one of my polish friends here told me in a english- german- mix what i should text in danish to her turkish collegue...

besides that it's raining far too much, so that even our warm italians get slightly in a rather depressed mood... hope we will all overcome that

i'm grateful to be here, yes
