Also, @DB_Bahn specifically
1. Start sticking to your timetables

@ChocoBetty A group of Germans entered a room that Aubrey & I were in, after a bit we were ready to leave and a lady leaned over and asked, "Verjagen wir Sie?" - I had never seen or heard of the word "verjagen" but we got it figured out and now I will never forget that word or phrase ๐
Been DRAMATICALLY increasing the amount of German Iโm speaking lately to force myself out of my learning plateau. Been going great and have felt WAY more confident speakingโฆtil 2day when someone asked me a simple 3 word question and I didnโt understand it at allโฆ3 WORDS! ๐
@Stephan_4711 โVerjagen wir Sie?โ - Had never seen or heard the word โverjagenโ but we got it cleared up and now Iโll never forget that word or sentence so the next time itโs asked, Iโll be ready ๐ค๐ผ
