I have been living in Germany for 8 months now and I’m still not quite there. For a couple of reasons really, laziness and the allure of my English speaking friends here (including an American Boyfriend). Well the most of them are going home for the summer so I have decided to use this oppurtunity to study and speak exclusively German with my flatmates. I hope to be fluent by the end of summer (Sept 10th is my goal!)
