The class

Into the third week of, yes, yet another German course and yes, I should probably be fluent by now but with recent words like damit, womit and woruber I feel I am going backwards rather than forwards.
The one and only communal language that we all know in class is German so the breaks are, as you can imagine full of scintillating conversation.
The class;
Valina: Polish, maximum 20, 6ft, blonde, tanned, beautiful and also lovely. The typical opair but think any hausfrau would run a mile before employing her unless she wanted to leave her husband.

Sandro: Italian, hair like Dali, chain smoker, laughs alot and introduced me to the world of the.Tandem partner. He has seven Tandem partners on the go at the moment which perhaps explains his late arrivals and daily vitamin drinks.

Tadashi: Japanese, eats an apple a day and manages to crack jokes in German. Impressive.

Na: Vietnamese, pregnant, smiley, cooks vietnamese snacks for the breaks. Seems to speak alot of German but no one seems to understand her.

Cami: Romanian. Never stops talking in whatever language that comes out first. Favourite words" Zum Beispiel".Owns lots of shoes and likes old cars. Did a PHD about cement.

Jose: French. Understands what the teacher said five minutes after everyone else and then screams" cool".

Paulo: Mexican. Very clever.

Maria: Spanish.. Nods alot.

Ny-yung: Korean. Small. Perfect face. Likes chocolate. Fights with the fat? ( Her words). Dreams of opening an original chocolate shop.
