I had my second
lesson with Günther today, and we talked about different types of
food. I was surprised to see what I was already familiar with due to
my very frequent exposure to these words at the grocery stores we
visit far too often. I can form simple sentences, but anything that
is complex is beyond my brain capacity. The structure and word order
of German sentences is so different from English. Every word has a
gender, too. Apparently, it’s intuitive for Germans to know the
gender of a word and how to conjugate it. It feels like learning this
language is going to demand a lot more attention than the Spanish
classes I took in high school… I wasn’t even that great in those.
Wednesdays do have
their perks, for us, though. After our German lessons, we go down the
street from our house to Metin’s and eat döner kebabs. It’s
similar to a Greek gyro, but in my opinion, far superior. I’ve
become a huge fan of Turkish food and the deal we get at our
restaurants. The döners are 2.50 euros… half off their normal
price! It’s the little things in this town that seem to make me
happy… but those little things make Wednesdays something to look
forward to. I can’t believe America doesn’t have more döner
kebab stands!
