Aber war es dir also nicht kalt? Mit T-Shirt im Winter? hahahaha, Yes Perhaps hopeles but I think every language is worth to be learned, only a year is not too much, German is quite different to other european languages, a bit complicated and really strange, for me to learn that language was a duty because I have had a german father (deceased in 1973 at the age of 43 in Paris in a car accident) and having a german passport and after I came to Germany in 1983 (I was ill at this time and that was not my decision) I wanted to learn that language as good as possible but this was a personal motivation, being myself a german citizen, though my mother was spanish and I grew up in Madrid, otherwise I wouldn't have had interest to be living here or to learn the language, family of mine isn't existent here (it's a great mistery to me) and for the germans, as well as for the spaniards (and that's even more serious) I'm a stranger and even an enemy (for the spaniards I looked like an south american indian and for the germans I look like an arab), Well now you know all of the story of my live LOL. Learning Chinese (Mandarin) would be more practical and interesting in any case. I have accepted to be an extraterrestrial mutant.
