When I first started college in January of 1973, I declared that German was my major.
Over 51years later, I still suck at German.
I went through the first two years of German language studies in seven months.
Then I kept "chickening out" during third-year German courses. I would enroll in a third-year college German course and then drop the course.
I had a paralyzing fear of failure that led me to repeatedly drop courses I was in danger of failing.
So now that I have already lived longer than the life expectancy for a woman born in 1948 had at my birth, which was 73.1 years, I am working on "bucket list" tasks I hope to complete before I die.
Becoming proficient in the German language is on that bucket list.
I ordered used German workbooks to fill out.
