As a university student, I decided to learn German. For some reason I really liked the language, but I was not very good at learning it. The grammar _______ me a lot and even drove me crazy. My only advantage was _______ —I got an A on every word test I took. After two years of studies, I struggled （挣扎） to communicate in _______ German and signed up to study in Germany to complete my degree. It was the _______ term I would ever have.
The moment I arrived in Germany, I felt like I was starting from scratch（从头开始）. The German I'd learned in university wasn't _______ for everyday conversation. My book knowledge fell by the wayside as I thought about the basics of getting around, reading emails and talking with my classmates, I was often nervous at school, worried about whether the teachers would call on me in class and whether I'd understand their questions. I only _______ a little around my eight roommates, who were willing to speak German slowly to me and didn't seem to mind my _______.
I chose to study three courses—reading & writing, grammar and history. All were in German and difficult, but the history class was the worst. The teacher spoke so _______ that almost everything he said flew right over my head. I sat in the front, took notes and even recorded every single word he said in class, but _______ helped. I had no idea what the class was really about…
Years have passed, but I still remember how it felt to struggle so hard at ________ another language. That trip was a difficult but valuable lesson. I think my failure that term taught me just as much as my success.
