Yet it is more challenging in Spanish and even more challenging in German. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-the-course-i-set-some-goals\">Before the course, I set some goals:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>to improve the usage of transition words;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>vocabulary (I\u2019d like to use more advanced words);<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>write longer texts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>get rid of using <a href=\"http:\/\/to improve the usage of transition words;vocabulary (I\u2019d like to use more advanced words);write longer texts;get rid of using anglicisms.

So, my trainer is a pro at describing pictures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I&#8217;d like to share <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-intermediate-takeaways-and-some-interesting-self-observations\">my intermediate takeaways and some interesting self-observations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1) I&#8217;ve noticed that I struggle with the layout of the German keyboard. I know it&#8217;s weird. I&#8217;ve got no problems not only with writing by hand but also with retyping texts. So, I started working on this issue on my cell phone. It took me a month and a bit to get used to the German keyboard. Currently, I am working on using the German keyboard on my laptop. However, there are no typed German letters on the keyboard. Probably, I will buy the stickers on Amazon or create a few by myself and glue them onto my English keyboard. I am a visual person, and that&#8217;s why I strongly believe that seeing the letters will help me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) I have different ways of thinking in other languages. Writing texts for this blog in German gives me lots of opportunities to see the text from a different angle. For example, when my text is ready in English and Spanish and then I translate it into German, oftentimes, I come up with new ideas and editing suggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3) I came up with the new idea of color-coding. My German trainer and I work on my texts in shared Google Documents. So, in order to eliminate the number of comments, I created a new system for color-coding for both of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"3390\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/teachingisfun.net\/uk\/german-writing-course-my-weird-intermediate-takeaways-from-it\/20230616_090529_0000\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20230616_090529_0000\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/teachingisfun.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20230616_090529_0000.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yellow \u2014 for correcting grammar;<br>Pink \u2014 transition words (it helps me to count them at the end, plus see where I can add more of them);<br>Green \u2014 vocabulary (just in case there could be a better word);<br>Blue \u2014 something to think about for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-all-in-all\">All in all,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This writing course gives me a whole new perspective on writing texts about my blog.
