    I am watching it from Bangladesh, a country in asian region. I have become fan of u.. U teach basic rules, grammar of german language which is the main base of a language .i am truly indebted to u...only one mistake of u is nothing to me or others,i am sure. To me, you are the best german teacher who teaches easily with basic rules. I dont know how can i express my feelings and gratitude to you . The little bit i know about german,is only for you.

    I think you are thoroughly off with putting trotzdem at the beginning of any sentence, as in 8:54. You meant to have a comma before trotzdem, instead of the period, right? You better check that.

As I'm thinking about studying for my bachelor's degree in Germany, I was wondering if you could suggest some good cities with great academic programs, job opportunities, and affordable living costs. Any tips on cheaper cities would be awesome too. i really want it
