Love it. My biggest challenge today is breaking through conversational French, but I am reading more in French :) and better at it. I have always enjoyed the German language, but it is certainly not for everyone. I can’t say I had a crush on my strict German teacher, but she certainly taught me a lot with the language and culture. My first attempt at speaking German was when I was 12 on a vacation in Zurich, Switzerland, 🇨🇭with my parents, and this is when I realized they don’t speak German LOL Or at least not hochdeutsch that I was learning with a northern German accent :)

That's surprisingly bittersweet and unsurprisingly funny.

And yeah, German sucks for most non-Germans.
