I'm a simple emigrant and I'm learning German in a course

There's this thing here called Integration Courses, but they're not for those who come for work or study. Mostly they send working partners, late-arriving migrants, or refugees. These are language courses, which are partially funded by the state. In addition, if a student has high attendance and passes the exam successfully, the state refunds another 50% of the cost as a bonus. But if you work, you should pay for it yourself. In fact, that's not quite true; a working person can also get a referral to integration courses regardless of salary. For this you need to apply to the Agency for Migration Issues, say that you really need it, and then they may give a referral, or may not. I got such a referral, and a wide range of schools opened up to me, where I could go to learn German for as little as €2.29 per hour. Next you need to go to any school and take a placement test so they determine at what level to place you. I was right in my self-assessment: according to the results of the test I was sent immediately to prepare for the exam at B1 (Module 6). I decided that it would be better for me to go for B1.1 (Module 5) to brush up grammar, otherwise this gap would stay forever. Then I chose a school and started attending classes; I was lucky that waiting for a suitable group didn't take too long. So far I like everything; we have an interesting teacher and a good group. I thought it would be much harder for me to balance all this. It turned out not at all difficult, although classes run from Monday to Thursday for a little over three hours in the evenings. It's good that it's already warm and the daylight lasts longer, that definitely helps. And you, how do you study foreign languages? #useful #language
