I speak German very well, actuelly, but in September I started a new course leading to the Grosses Deutsches Sprachdiplom. This certificate allows to teach German abroad or to work as a teacher in a German school. I’m not sure if I’m going to take the exam at all, because I don’t really need it and it’s 350 Euro, but I want to get to the niveau it requires.
We are doing a lot of literature, Rilke, Duerrenmatt, Mitscherlich, Recih-Ranicki,... I enjoy it a lot, as I didn’t go to school in Germany, I don’t know much about the literature and I’m pleased to close the holes in my education.
I still have problems with writing, though. I don’t like what I write and am not best in giving in my papers, I definitely need to get better at it. I have 5 papers due in two weeks and I hope I’ll manage to write them all (some are quite short actually). I’d also be happy to correspond with anyone learning German on a high level.
