This summer marks the fifth summer in a row that I've suddenly decided to learn German properly. I have studied it since I was 12 years old and all my teachers have loved me and given me higher grades than I ever deserved. I don't think I could ask for directions in German, but maybe I could order a meal. I know this is all terribly interesting, but I am bored and tired. Also, I am serious this time! I am going to learn German.
