Here's a short post:
So yesterday I was working at Linz and Vail, I'm getting much more comfortable with it and I even locked up by my self!
Anyway I was working and a big group of like 8 people, like 5 kids and three adults comes in. And the mom starts ordering Gelato with an accent, and then she asks the kids in german what they want. I then proceed to respond to their order in German like it's no big deal, and everyone loves it. I asked what they were doing in Evanston, and they answered but I couldn't quite understand it. Then the Mom asked where I was from, which leads me to believe that she thought I was from Germany and was in fact a native German speaker! I'm sure if I talked to them for more than a minute they could easily tell that my German was lacking alot, but still!
This absolutely made my day, and made me feel way more confident with my German skills. Hopefully I'll find more chances to practice German before I go. If I keep up listening to German kid's TV and looking up the words I don't know I might end up learning more German this summer than all Senior year.
'till next time! :D
