At the begining, I was a little bit shocked. I was able just to say Hallo, and Wie get's dir? Day by day I improve my knowledge in german, going to cinema, meeting new local people,follwing german lessons.

It was good. With some small difficults when I came, but with time much better. But I think that it´s not very easy have german friends, the people from another countries were always together.

I chose to go there because i wanted to learn more about Brecht´s theatre work, not to learn the language (I was a teacher of german by then and had been to Berlin many times, since i was 16).

It was hard to meet germans at first, but as soon as you became friends with them it was easier to pick up more vocab and slang. Hanging around with Americans too much will hurt your german.
