Hi Katha, I am Belinda and I'm a normal twelve-year-old girl. I want to study German but my parents, however, object to my intention of taking courses, so I have to study by my self. Could you please give me some pieces of advice on learning German by myself? I go to a foreign language school so some of my classmates study German but they're not really helpful because they can't handle the language well themselves! My parents say that studying a second foreign language will influence my English study and it is a waste of time and energy studying a language of which I don't have tests at school. But I really wish I could ,someday, handle this strict language. Thank you all the way.
