servus! halloooooo~ alles gut bei dir?

okay back to english lol. I know what it's like to feel like quitting :( languages are hard! I don't think german was ever that hard to speak, I think it was the one I was most confident in (I did it and italian for gcse) but I also got to practice with my dad, who lived in zurich for a few years, though it meant I mostly spoke züritüütsch which my teacher did not love, but our class assistant did since she spoke it too hehe. my advice would be listen to the language through tv / film / music and it should help you get a better understanding of how things should sound, but also if you're not confident in speaking just yet then don't feel the need to rush it

maybe we can cheer each other on and encourage each other 🥺🥺🥺

could you not ask to switch over to him? gp practices are generally really understanding if patients prefer one clinician over another. but if that isn't possible, maybe you can schedule your followups with him? their priority is that you get the care and support that you need, so I think they'll try and help here

i’m feeling very accomplished because i said brot without accidentally rolling my r’s. small steps lol… it’s like i see the letter R and muscle memory kicks in you know? 😭😭

i did spanish at school and carried on learning it when i left school and that was great because they’re both romance languages and so many words are SO similar or the same + the accent is a lot easier for me - my mum learned german at school too, but now all she knows are numbers 1-10…

im currently at the stage of watching peppa pig in german, that’s how i learnt basic italian and it worked really well 😂 i’ll do some searching for german songs too later (but rolli und rita is so catchy… 🎶 was ist dein lieblingsfach? 🎵 )

i was thinking about switching doctors last night! i’ll definitely look into it, i just trust him and my current gp always sounds uninterested or over it. it would be so refreshing to have him as my gp instead 😅
