Still Not Enough I have learnt German for 4 years. My reading and writing are better than listening and speaking. Sometimes I have to talk to the colleagues in office in German. But I am so afraid to cough up my sentences. Maybe they will laugh at me. Maybe they can not understand me. When I dont understand something, I will ask them for sure. However, it is still a little bit embarrasing to have so many questions all the time. Especially when others are quite busy too. Today while a colleague helping me to install something in my computer, he was trying to ask me some related questions in German. I felt I could hardly get him. Feel very low today.
