Battle of the Senses!!

With daily German classes for the last one month my frequency of blogging has gone down drastically. Everyday I must forget the magic of one language to learn the tricks of another. Yes, it is very difficult to stop myself from thinking in English which in turn is limiting my imagination.
My German class is like a giant experiment with Mundane Realism, the goal of course is to figure out how much we end up learning.
I actually have the perfect analogy of the process of learning a language. It's like losing weight. When you start you lose some weight drastically and then you reach the plateau where you have to go a long way if you want to progress further, you need patience and perseverance, you will get frustrated but you have to keep at it. Learning a language is very similar, initially you learn a bunch of words and grammar that you fling around every now and then in markets and coffee shops then you reach that same plateau when you realise you have stopped learning anything meaningful, you will frustrate yourself over the fact that you still can't participate in a conversation, you may somehow figure out the topic but will not be able to convey your opinion or inputs- you will want to say something important but you will come across hindrances at every stage- first by article, then by the form of article, then usually comes the verb and its form and by the time you figure out how to put a sentence together you suddenly realise you have forgotten what it was you wanted to say.
Now here is where I have to stop writing because my class starts in an hour. I leave you with the difference between losing weight and learning a language- one never really does lose the weight but you surely do end up learning something of the language!
