For over more than one month I am living in Germany now, but my German language skills haven't improved much :(.
When I was in Korea, I found it weird that people were shy to speak in English...I always thought, just try it...making mistakes does not matter... but now here in Germany I am shy to speak German as well.....
I realized that if I can avoid speaking in German I do it, and that is the worst option to improve my German skills. In the apartment where I live together with two German guys, we agreed upon an 'English day' at every even date and a 'German day' at every odd date. Somehow I am more talkative when it is English day.....
Today I started reading in German : Damals war es Friedrich... another step to get used to the German language.
One thing I know for sure, learning (and practicing) a third language is double as difficult as with the second language....especially when most of the people around you speak your second language as well....but I have some months left....
