I'm finally over being selfish. :)

The Certificate of Attendance was issued last Monday for Level 1. No classes for today and yesterday. Level 2 will start tomorrow.

I spent the entire morning reviewing my past lessons as I must admit the course is getting harder to grasp. The gendered nouns are the least of my worries right now as I am more hard up with the Grammatik...

Because I realized that German is really "barok" English:

Haben wir Milch? ~ Have we milk? Which is their way of saying: Do we have milk?
Ich esse nicht gern Fisch. ~ I (to) eat not like fish. Which is really: I do not like to eat fish.
Ich habe Hunger. ~ I have hunger. Which is: I am hungry.

So when you're used to speaking and talking and writing in English, the tendency is to have a hard time "unlearning" English grammar.

Bertolt Brecht and Friedrich Rückert are Germans.
