Have you wondered why the title and subtitle of this article are in German? Well, I’m learning German! I have always wanted to learn a third language, and some of the languages that interested me were Japanese, Greek, Dutch, Deutsch, and French.

Earlier the start of February, I contacted a school offering study programs for foreign languages and got enrolled. Unfortunately, among the languages I wanted to learn, most were not offered at the school except German. So I decided to give learn German. The qualifications needed to start the program were a high school certificate, an identification number (ID), and the required fees for the first semester.

The Deutsch study program is expected to last a period of six (6) months with the program being divided into four major parts i.e: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. During the first week, we focused on learning the basics of most languages such as alphabet letters, numbers, greetings, and farewells. Do you know the German language has four additional alphabetical letters compared to the most common 26 letters. These letters are umlauts (ä,ö,ü) and eszet (ß).
