International Language Class

If you follow my blog (or happen to read my previous blog), you should know I'm currently attending Danish language class.

Initially the class only consist of 5 students: 3 from China, 1 from Pakistan & of course, me, from Malaysia. After 2 months, the class suddenly expand to 24 students with 9 different nationalities: Bulgaria, China, Columbia, India, Nepal, Nigeria, Malaysia (of course), Pakistan and Poland. All students have different level of Danish proficiency. The only common language we have is English.

While we're all trying to learn Danish, our poor Danish teacher is having hard time to remember all the 'exortic' students' names, especially the chinese names. They are pretty difficult to be differentiated by a foreigner who doesn't speak Chinese (Li, Lin, Leng, Ling are 4 different names but pronounce very similarly).

A quick Danish language status update: I'm now able to write a small paragraph of around 200words about myself. Will be getting a very simple book to read (specially written for language teaching purpose) by next up-coming class & will be 'upgraded' to the slightly improved beginner's class beginning November. I'm getting slightly nervous about the new class but I hope all turns out good, I hope.
