Note on my Current German Skills

1. I’m scarily at the point, at least today, that when I go to write something, the German words are coming first. Even though I’ve spent a lot of time today writing in English.
2. When I converse in German and I know what’s going on, I just respond, I don’t have to think about what to say, or what they just said. I’m not translating anything in my head.
3. Everyone says my German is really good, but I don’t believe them at all.
4. After spending over an hour writing on a German keyboard with slow progress, I am having some difficulty adapting to the English one.
5. Unfortunately, in the evening, if I don’t understand what’s being said, I get a little ADD and start daydreaming.
