My learning journey:
I started learning German already in China, I was learning wit youtube mostly. I printed some worksheets as well. Then when I moved from China to Poland I started an online course. I started from 0, it was a beginners group course. My first teacher was horrible and I just felt like I was wasting my time, my second teacher Radek on the other hand was very good. He taught us in Polish but he grew up in Germany. IF you're you're interested in learning with him online here's the name of his school DÉBUT - SZKOŁA JĘZYKÓW OBCYCH RADOSŁAW KOSZUTSKI and here is the website: www.debut-szkola.com/ .
After I finished that online course I moved to Germany and I had classes once a week at my German company with an Austrian teacher. Also online. That got me to A2 level. I had classes for 17 weeks I think I attended 10.
I had a half a year break from learning while I was waiting for my integration course. I started integration course on level A2.1 . I had classes 4 times per week 4 hours per day, from Job Center free of cost. That's also a point where I started to actually understand Dativ, Akkusativ, when to put tverb at the end, and I went from non talking to talking. I ended the course on the 15th of May and I'm currently waiting for my B1 exam which I will have on the 13th of July.
Today I started a new course on level B1.2 at Speakeasy Hamburg and I'm in love. The school is modern, classrooms are big and bright, students really seem to care and I feel like this is my place and I will continue my journey there until I'm fluent. Which I am super excited about. With an intense course I'm doing it will take me one month to complete this level and move up to B2. I have classes from Monday to Thursday from 9 am until 11:45. When I change my level and my schedule changes as well I can also choose another time. If I get a job I could for example choose a course from 6-8:45 in the evening which I'm super happy about as I'm hoping to find a job soon.
