This is how long it took me to ACTUALLY learn German

Curious to know how many non-native speakers here are 100% confident speaking the German language now without secretly worrying if the grammar in the statement you just blurted out was 100% correct?

My biggest fear is that people mistake me in German for being “dumb” which really is rubbish of me to put on myself!

So, I try to practice self-care and remind myself how far I’ve really come!

10 years ago I never knew I’d be speaking fluent German and living in a country other than Canada for the rest of my life!

The world works in mysterious ways! 🥰💛

Embrace it!

Perfektion ist nicht so erstrebenswert als man glaubt, Jenna!
Perfection is not as desirable as you think, Jenna!

I have been doing Duolingo for almost a year now. I have learned so much. You are definitely an inspiration. I hope I too can live in Germany someday. I love it there.

In meiner Firma gab es zwei Kollegen, die sehr starken Dialekt sprachen, allerdings nicht den gleichen. Die anderen Mitarbeiter sprachen hochdeutsch, konnten die beiden aber problemlos verstehen. Nur die beiden verstanden sich gegenseitig nicht - ausser, wenn sie nach hochdeutsch wechselten, was ihnen aber sehr schwer fiel ...

Perfektion ist eine wunderbare Sache! Aber sie wird ein Traum bleiben, weil man sie nicht erreichen kann. Ergibt sich ja schon aus dem Begriff. LG Ben❤😅

I wish Germans would correct my grammar mistakes! If you don’t know then you repeat the mistake.

Germans are very keen to help you with German, we usually correct you, if you do something wrong.
