11 months ago, for some ungodly reason, I decided I wanted to learn German. To be honest, the reason I wanted to learn in the first place was because of the Goldfinger version of "99 Red Balloons." I always laughed at the German part because the words sounded funny. Well, one day I actually looked up what those words meant, and they made me laugh. From then on, I've kinda fallen in love with all that "hacking and gaging" in the language. It's funny, but I really feel like there is some deeper reason, other than just infatuation, that I'm supposed to learn this stuff.
It's kinda fun learning a language that not many people (at all) know in this area.....but on the other hand, it kinda sucks because there's nobody to converse with. I bought a Rosetta Stone back in April and I haven't turned back since. There were a few weeks I spent about 3 hours a day on the program! One of these days I would love to go to Germany or Switzerland, but for right now, I just want to learn for myself. And my future dog.
Yeah, one of these days, after I buy a house, I want a Weimaraner. I'm going to teach him German commands. I'd like to just speak German in my home...and kinda talk to myself all day long. I know that sounds a little crazy, but the more I speak it the faster it will sink in....and I gotta talk to someone. It's a dream, so we'll see...but as for right now, I'm still learning.
