Hey. I've been learning bits of foreign languages now and then and frankly admitting, my fondness for languages is just an undying love!
I tried every now and then too, to get accessed to sites which can offer me free lessons and at the same time allowing me to interact with the native speakers of languages which I wish to learn, on the spot. One of those incredible sites are :
busuu.com.
I've registered myself for Spanish, Italian and the most interesting of all GERMAN. I have always been fascinated by German language ever since long before - when I played the game, the first Call of Duty. Then I got to watch the Band of Brothers where German language could sound so cool and sexy... (I know, I'm just one cliched lady haha...). Few months after that I happened to meet real Germans in real life, two tourists that one of them had intrigued me in certain ways. So I took the initiative to start learning and applying basic lines whenever I could.
Till today, I have come back to my sense, after a long hiatus from revising on my previous German lessons, that I need to re-revise and start over as I have a new mission. That is to be able to talk to someone I know who's from Germany and next year I am planning to visit the other side of the map - Europe. Hence, of course Germany would be in my top list! :)
So here are bits of vocabulary that I wish to share with you dear readers/ 'stalkers' :)
