Eu no se falar Porteges.

We had very nice weather this weekend, so I went on about forty walks, also because there's not much else to do besides explore the city when I don't have the internet in my Wohnheim (student living house). There's a big market that takes place on the marketplace (surprise) in from of Schwäbisch Hall's big historic church. I bought some onions from a funny elderly farmer for 0,30 Euro.

I got to know some of the Brazilians in my Wohnheim. They taught me a little Porteguese.

I had a pretty good German class today. We finally moved on from the topic of diets and genetic engineering. I just found out that I'm in the highest class currently being held at the Goethe Institut. Europe has a profciency-ranking system that goes A1 to C2: A1 and A2 being "basic language use" and C1 and C2 being "proficiency." We are almost C1; we are using the C1 book, but I guess we are techinically B2.3. I think we are taking the C1 test. I don't need to pass any certain level to study in Wien, but I would like to learn as much as possible. This time will probably go very quickly.
