School has made me hate languages First of all I want to thank my former English teacher at school. He is such a polite and friendly man, but as teacher he was my biggest enemy. In german schools we learn everything about the English grammar until the age of 14. We learn the vocabulary every week and sometimes we have to write some sentences in our workbook. This way of learning a language was boring for me, so I felt unhappy soon. I spent a lot of time with thinking about the tenses which I should or shouldn't use in a special case. I didn't learn to feel a language, it seemed to be like science, everything had to be wrong or right. I felt frustrated soon, because when I watched I film for example, I didn't understand anything. For me it was definitely the wrong way to learn a new language.
