How to Learn German Fast: About Me! :)
Again.
Hello and welcome to my German language learning site!I am Shawn, and am the President of the German Language Society, acad year 2009/2010.
I was once the General-Secretary, for 08/09. Click here to see my old write up on myself :)
I study Economics and History, with Economics as my major subject and History as my minor.
I studied German 5 and German 6 at NUS, doing very badly for German 5 and then going on to fare superbly in German 6.
This was because I was quite unused to NUS when I was in my first semester, and things were very new to me; also, when I was placed in the German 5 class after doing a placement test, I was then the youngest and probably the weakest student in class. I had studied German at O levels way back, and got my A1 in 2001. How time flies!
I went on to do my Testdaf after German 6, completing it with 5-5-4-4 in 2007. (I write about how to study and how to well in the Testdaf also on this site, so if you're interested in German language proficiency qualifications, I might have the information or the tips that you need on my site. Naturally, I don't know where all the test centres are or what the questions will be, or stuff like that - I only give advice and friendly tips!)
I became General Secretary in 2008, coming up with a book on SOPs (standard operating procedures) and also a process of elections, among others. Now I am the President of the society, and very happy about that, of course!
I studied German for the love of it and am in the German society out of passion for my CCA, which I like very much. I have done 3 matric fairs so far, and have been to countless club activities. I am very proud to say that this school year - Aug 2009 - has seen a dramatic increase in club membership and an increase in interest in our society. I am presiding over a change in climate and it is my luck and happiness to be with an excellent team.
So, once again - I am Shawn, welcome to my German language learning site, and thanks for reading and cheers! I'm pretty sure you might want to surf around my site and sites to see what suits you. All the best as you study at NUS, and also all the best as you study and learn German, a most fascinating language indeed.
