In our language class, today was the last day of learning things over which we will be tested this term. As I reflected over what material has been presented, I came to realise that a great deal of it was of the level equivalent to Cal Poly’s second beginner German class. This is both a good thing and a disappointing one. It may not have taught me many new concepts, but it has certainly reinforced my confidence and ability with basic German. I hope that, along with this solid foundation, I can further my own independent studies during the rest of my time here in Germany.
After language class and lunch, our entire program group took the bus to the Stadtbüro to pick up our visas. I can now stay in Germany legally through the end of January of 2012, if such was my desire. From the time I got home until now, I have been drilling German grammar and vocabulary home in preparation for tomorrow’s language test. While we do have topics that will be covered tomorrow after the test, as well as on Friday during language class, these topics are not ones over which we shall be tested. Therefore, tomorrow’s test is the final piece of graded work we will do in our language class, hence its importance to the overall grade.
