Do you think those classes got you to a conversational level of German with a native speaker? Dare I ask, in the form of a beat box???I can describe the sound of any cymbal or drum any day.
I'm still only halfway through my university's sequence of German classes, but I think I could hold up a conversation. Not at a high level, but enough to get by. Haha no, there's just a very specific set of vocabulary common to people who talk about gear.Dare I ask, in the form of a beat box???
Do you guys do student exchanges? My school used to do it, but the US students' German was all but non-existent.
Sort of? We have a relationship with the University of Freiburg where we exchange one professor and one upper-level student to intern with each school's language department, and every other year we have a group that goes and studies at Freiburg for a semester.
