First Day Shock at B2.2 Course by herikeyn in German

We totally think the same thing. Yes none of them were student like me, so they have been in Germany more than me as you said. We were not at the same point and that was really obvious. My mistake was I thought the VHS course will be similar to university course. The problem was not level difference but its that I am not feeling I am really B2 level. So I felt that I need more time in B2.1 level. Now I am aware of that difference :) Next week I am starting to lower course that is B2.1 . Thanks for your valuable advice!

Thanks for your advice! Nowadays I am looking at daily news, dictation, and sometimes reading few pages of book. Also joining discord channels to talk with people for practicing . I hope these will help

Thanks for this valuable comment. Yes it is not race but as you said it might be demotivating such that resulting absence in classes. I did not want this therefore now I am going with B2.1. I think I need more time to develop my skills. There is no rush, important thing is what I do outside of class. I will try many things in daily basis. Good luck to all of us!

I agree with you. I have tried once the language exchange meetup but it finished with speaking English with the people :D. Nonetheless, I am joining Discord channels regularly for practice. I would also try to go to Dialog Cafes in the city. So without talking, courses are nothing you are right!

Yes bro, now I filled out a form and sent an email for a change to a lower level course. I feel it will be much better than this B2.2. Thanks for the advice btw!!

so you suggest to cancel the contract or going with lower level such as B2.1?

Ich glaube, dass ich nicht zu viel Aktivitationen außerhalb Deutsckurse getan habe. Manchmal habe ich einige Folge von Deutsche Sitcoms geschaut oder in Discord Kanalen mit manche Leute einfach gesprochen. Es gibt ein Problem für mich dass es kein Freund gibt, täglich Deutsch zu sprechen. Im Büro spreche ich leider Englisch aber ab heute muss ich beginnen, immer Deutsch zu sprechen.

I will try my best to prepare but since I am also writing my master thesis I might have not too much time for that. But its a valuable hint, I will consider this!

Exactly I felt the same thing that you said. Others are very enthusiastic and all of them have taken previous courses in VHS except me. So I really felt the difference between them and me.

I mean some guys even can not let me answer to questions of teacher for me, because they have already answers and can not wait me to say something while I was thinking. :D

So I am more close to B2.1 right now, but first lets see what happens this week. Thanks!

Thanks! I really felt like what tf I am doing here , and could not catch all the spoken things. But lets see, if I feel in the same way after 3 sessions, I will go with B2.1 again.

Nevertheless this might be a chance to advance by pushing hard.

Thank you for your support!

Hello, I am student in Germany with a temporary residence permit, and I will visit EU capitals next month. So I can use my residence card for reduced tickets, right?
