I Love to Learn

When I was young, I always liked learning. I did not always like school, but learning I always liked. And now, as a teacher and a grown-up I find that my love for learning is just the same. And that a day without learning something new is a wasted day for me.

I was the same as a kid and still I am learning every day more about myself, the People around me and life in General. But that isn´t enough for me, I started to study a few weeks ago. It´s a distance learning and I just love it. It´s exhausting sometimes, because I am doing my normal Job still and my Family wants to spend time with me too of course, but nevertheless I love learning more and more. I am a bit like a sponge, that absorbs knowledge instead of water.

@boklenholley7 Keep in mind: being a teacher is not just a profession, it's a way of life. :)

And I hope you'll go beyond just trying with German. I might even answer a few questions, if you ask nicely! :)

@Uncle I know that.. That's part of why it interests me.
I hope so too. I don't really know where to start with learn German, though. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you (:

@boklenholley7 If you can deal with the fact that it will totally become part of everything you do... go ahead. Patience and consistency seem to be good qualities to have.

As for starting with learning German:

You can
- find a language learning service on the web (there are several)
- find a coursebook or a complete self-study course.
- find a language teacher or tutor (<- obviously that is what I always suggest, but it would be dishonest not to mention the other options)

And you should:
- find out how much time you can realistically devote to your studies
- bring some diligence and focus. :)
- not forget that learning should be fun.

@iamnikki So. I've learned that the city I live in has more bridges than Venice. And that with 180 museums in it, I could visit a new one every second day for a year. Also, I think I finally got the hang of the Italian congiuntivo. I think.

Yes, trivial things (aside from that congiuntivo!), I agree. But nonetheless something new. :)
