Hello everybody,

this is one of my last blog posts and again I am here with an interview. Today I asked my classmate Ronaldo about different topics, mostly related to the learning of the German language. Ronaldo has already done 3 months at Deutsch Akademie and I met him in A2.2 class (the current one). 3… 2… 1… Enjoy!

1) Can you briefly introduce yourself?

Heyy, I’m Ronaldo, I’m 16 years old. I come from Italy, but I was born in Brazil. Now I live in Vienna. I like mountains, sea, fashion and to make new friends.

2) Why do you study the German language?

I study German because I want to go to a Fashion school here in Vienna and I must know the language.

3) What do you value the most on DeutschAkademie?

The method of the teacher :). (btw. the teacher is Christoph)

4) What is your current level of German language and how long you study this language?

I’m currently in A.2.2. I have studied German for three months.

5) Do you think it is important to study languages? And why?

I think it’s important but depends on what kind of person you are. If you don’t like to travel you don’t have to know language’s… you could, but you don’t have to. If you like to travel, then it’s very good also ‚cause you can talk to another people.

6) What are your hobbies?

I really like drawing, dancing, singing … I like Photography … I like makeup…but I can’t ahahah…

In the second part of the interview, Ronaldo was asked to choose one of these options. As you see, sometimes was not easy to decide.

German vs. English? >> English

Games during the lesson vs.  Exercises in the book? >> Games during the lessons

Grammar vs. Conversation? >> Conversation

Listening vs. Reading (during the lesson)? >> Both.

A mixed group of classmates vs. Classmates at your age? >> A mixed group of classmates

I would like to thanks to Ronaldo, as well as the previous attendees. I really appreciate the spirit with which you helped me to make these interviews happen. Today is my last day of the courses, both conversation classes, and intensive A2.2 course. Therefore, I am a little bit sentimental. But don´t worry, two more posts coming!

Hugs,

Petra
