Deutsch Lernen: Der Anfanger
I took a placement test with the Singapore Goethe Institute, where I had learned German in 2002 right before I left for the US.
At that time, I had finished two courses at the Goethe Institut. Since then, I took a year's gap, then re-learned German while at Rice, beginning from scratch since I completely forgot large parts of German. After that I did a year's exchange in Bremen, where I learned a lot of informal and everyday German, but I didn't take a single class.
So I took the test on Saturday here in Singapore, and I get a reply from the lady this morning asking me "where did you learn German in between 2002 and now?", which was quite amusing, and a little gratifying to know that I have not slipped.
