If yes, how’s it going? What do you like about it? What don’t you like? What challenges are you encountering? How are you approaching it?
I ask because my partner and i both decided last year we would start doing a little language learning in our spare time, and it’s been quite nice to have that “back to school” feeling again after so many years.
I’m learning German because I now live in a German-speaking country. I’ve been doing it on my own by immersion, but the immigration authorities are now planning to force me to take a course that I will have to pay for myself in order to keep my immigration status. Luckily, the company I work for has agreed to cover the costs completely.
Taking a course can be very useful to place some structure onto what you already learn by immersion. I had very little formal teaching in German when i first moved and had to pick up a lot of it through media, friends and school.
That’s true, but I was already planning to do that, so them forcing me to take a specific one with a bunch of propaganda included is annoying and messed up a bunch of plans.
That sucks if they’re forcing you to sit through propaganda lectures.
