My first day of German class went rather well. Much of the beginning things were greeting sentences and phrases that I already knew, but we got into a lot of material that I didn't know. I've been working really hard to use what I do know in conversation. It's not a lot, but every little bit counts. It's funny how just after the first day, I've been able to understand a few more things when people are speaking. The class is 4 hours long, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Hopefully I'll learn a lot. It's kind of cool how this class works. Strangely it's taught in German, but it seems to be effective because there is a wide variety of nationalities there and most everyone seems to be picking up on it. My partner is an Australian guy. His accent makes my day. =)
After class, I studied a little and was distracted a lot. Then I went for a drive around the country. I saw the biggest milk cows I've EVER seen, a really cool Nicodemus mission monastery, and a lot of gorgeous countryside! Then we went and picked flowers at this community garden and put them around the house.
