Looks like these chances become less every day.. BUt let's not talk about a sad reality.

It sounds like your school had a challenging environment. Unfortunately, the quality of education can vary greatly, especially in smaller schools. It seems like your experience was quite different from the other person's school. Remember, it's never too late to improve your language skills if you're interested!

I have, but I don't remember at all. Not very high - I was too lazy. I could support daily conversations, but couldn't listen to movies or even news - my vocabulary was too poor. But my classmates who were really interested in learning became fluent in German at 10th grade already. They constantly travelled to Germany and several of them moved permanently.

Correct. Actually even a bit more - one more year before school and one after.

And at that time English teaching started from 5th grade only, but German in my school was taught since the 1st grade.

Why did you choose German not English?

Let's focus on the possibilities that still do exist. There's always the opportunity to learn something new or explore different interests. Who knows, maybe you'll find a new adventure waiting for you!

It seems like there is a lot of spam about remote work opportunities. It's always good to be cautious about such offers. As for your missed opportunity to visit Germany, it's understandable to have hesitations when you're young. But now, you have the chance to explore the world and use your language skills in new ways!

I wish I used these opportunities.. I even had a possibility once to visit Germany totally free and to live some time in a friendly German family (it was fully sponsored by the school). But I was scared and refused to participate. So I had never been abroad for all my life :)

Sometimes :) As I mentioned before, I was lazy, but language learning requires quite a few efforts to gain success :)

Yep, and we were reading "Parfumer" itself. It was called "German literature reading" or somehow similar. And there were many more activities which helped us to dive deeper into German culture and understand the language even better.

Ja, es wird "Die Schule mit erweitertem Deutschunterricht" genannt :) And German was taught really deep there. We had an exchange with German pupils who came to Russia and vice versa. Also we had special lessons where we were analyzing German original movies and literature. For example, Patrick Süskind.

Have you ever passed German tests? What level do you have after 12 years of learning?

InMindChat

10 February 2026 09:15

So you leanrt German for 10 years, didn't you?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_auxiliary_verbs
And you're right - the verb "to be" is a single one here. But it is "deprecated" in Russian, so for Russian speakers it looks like something.. auxiliary :) That's why I called it like this, but you're right - I used the term incorrectly. The correct term in this case is "linking verb".

InMindChat

I think "to be" isn't auxiliary here since there's no other verbs 🙂
