Danke für ihre hilfe.

Living somewhere for 2 years does not guarantee you will learn anything. Some people are submersed in a language and country for 20 years and they can barely speak a word. Submersion does not teach you. You dont learn how to swim by being dropped in the middle of the ocean, there are so many aspects to consider. Watching body language, mouths, and most of all, wanting it and retraining your mouths muscles. I have had english speakers around me majority of the time and any attempt at taking on the complicated language made me more frustrated and discouraged to keep trying. Now that there is a desire and bigger need to become fluent, I feel now I can finally absorb it.

Since you have lived in Germany for a long time, why you still have big( i feel) problems with german? Dont you have many oppotunities to practice it?
