Back to School

I am now a full time student.
Yep, I enrolled in a German language course a few weeks ago I already attended a full week of classes. So far, I am enjoying it. My instructors are not native German speakers but that does not bother me because they are good enough to teach German. Once, I brought my recorder to class and recorded a few minutes of our class discussion. I let my husband, who is a native German speaker, listen to it and he said that the teacher seems pretty good. She (the teacher) has her Chinese accent when speaking German but she is 100% understandable. Other than that, she can also explain grammar well.
I am the only non-Chinese in class. Normally, after explaining the grammar points in Chinese, my teachers explain it to me in English. This makes me feel a little bit special. Classes are 4 to 5 hours daily from Monday to Friday and it should last for 10 weeks or so.
I hope that after this course, I can carry on day to day conversations in German with ease.
