A very good lesson.
We talked about an article about a woman's change. I not only received some expressions to paraphrase but also discussed some related topics with Sigrid. I can find the link between us.
A really good and patient teacher!

Ich mache mittlerweile gute fortschritte dank Sigrid. Ich werde zusehens sicherer beim Gebrauch der Tenses und wende sie bewusster an.

Sigrid ist sehr sympathisch. Die Stunden machen Spaß. Manchmal schweifft man, wenn es grade passt vom Thema ab, was aber trotzdem ein Super Sprachtraining ist. Sie bereitet Material vor, gibt Tips und ist sehr aufmerksam.
