I have been trying to learn German again. It turned out that
there was a free lunch time course at the University.
So for two hour and half seesions per week, I try to
master Deutsch. The course is a well hidden secret, because
there are two students from chemistry and three people from our
physics research group in the class.
At the end of the last semester the class was tested for the A2 level. Someone in the EU has standardized the tests for different languages. To cut a long story short. I failed the test. I was the only person who failed. I did all the homeworks and studied for the exam. The exam was actually an order of magnitude harder than the homeworks. Two days after the exam, I went to a meeting in Graz, so I was also writing a talk, and I couldn't do a last minute push.
Anyway, excuses, excuses. So it is just me and the bottle tonight, so time for some shots.....
