First day of School

So there! It is over, the first day of school. It was good. Actually easy for me. I am in the beginner class so there is some review in the beginning. There are a few in my class who are absolute beginners. They don't even know the numbers! My heart goes out to them for sure. Yikes. I don't know how they even get around here. I have much to learn but I thank God I can ask where the toilet is and where to get some beer! I haven't had any beer in Düsseldorf yet. I think tonight I will go out with the group so I can learn my way on the train to the Altstädt. This is evidently the most important district to know for fun. I could probably figure it out on my own but I will take the free knowledge with ease for now. I am the only American in my class. There are a few from China, one from Argentina and one from Poland and Greece and also one from Italy. The woman from Italy seems to be afraid to speak German. Das is nicht sehr gut. I want to tell her, let go! Let the funny sounds come out! Sprecht Deutsch! Oh well. Now I am done for the day.
