257. The Last Post......Or maybe not....
Barring requests for additional information and explanations, this blog has reached the end of the road (maybe for now).
As the blog "So you want to learn a little about German in the World" stands, I hope it has achieved what I wanted to do when setting out to discover what a blog actually entailed and how I might be able to help anyone interested in learning a bit about German.
I urge you, if you have come this far, to continue with your studies of a wonderful language that offers a student so many challenges. German has a wealth of literature and can claim to be one of the truly great languages of the world. It has given me many hours of pleasure in trying to come to terms with its many complexities and beauty of expression.
Above all, having learnt a bit of German along the way, I have found many doors opened to me. The German speaking people of the world appreciate any attempt made by an outsider to embrace their language. When you get to know German families as I have done, you will discover just how hospitable they can be.
The other major advantage of learning a language is that you just cannot do so without having to come to grips with the culture of the people who speak it. I have found the many customs and traditions of the German speaking world quite fascinating. I challenge you to go out there and do so yourself, if you haven't already done this.
Please feel free to contact me through this blog if you have any questions I can help you with.
There is some chance in the next few months I will start to look at how you actually go about learning to speak German which is one of the harder skills of the language and will use this blog as a reference point. More about this later....
