How I discovered my passion for English

I started learning English at the age of 10. At the times when I started school, most students in Germany did not begin to study English as a subject at primary school, but after later they changed that school and it to be into the fifth grade.

During my first years of English, I was neither a very good English student nor a very enthusiastic one. I still remember how much grammar the teacher did try to put into our small heads during the first years of English. For me, there was no way to understand the difference between simple past and present perfect (in German we don't differentiate between the two). I was just not ready for this big step, and I no one in our class could really talk freely at that time, which would could have been more important. helped.

However, I've always loved travelling which was the reason why I decided to go on a language vacation in Torquay, UK after I finished the 10th grade. It has been one of the best decisions of my life! It was my first holiday which I spent apart from my parents and it has been one of my favorites! What a huge difference it makes to use a foreign language in a natural context! I lived together with a host family and another language student from Spain! Although I was still shy, and probably it was probably not that much, I actually talked. But - Then, I began to love English and everything that has to do with it. I immediately fell in love with the British accent, I started watching British films without the German synchronization and I read almost all of Agatha Christie's novels. And I'll give you three guesses from which Ms Christie comes. ;)
