RE: A Family Visit in Portugal and Remembering Spain and How I Learnt Spanish in 2007, 2009 and 2016-17

It's impressive how many languages you speak. I never made it beyond level B1 with German but I wasn't motivated enough since it's rather easy to live in Berlin and not really speak German. But at least I enjoyed taking German classes again. (I took German classes full-time for about 2 months whilst living there). German was my hate subject in school so I see it as a big improvement.

I get your point about not really needing German in Berlin. It's a different story with Portugese in Portugal, let alone if you're not living close to ( big ) cities.

Although German is easy to understand and read for me, writing ( and talking German ) is a different story. In 6 years of high school German, I never learned to really master "Die vier Fälle".
