Ich möchte zum Zurichberg Hotel
I am back in Zurich tonight after my two days in London. I was happy to be back in my new adopted “home”. It was also the first time I could try out in anger some of the German I learnt last week. I was very proud of myself when I asked the taxi driver to take me to my hotel. I was even prouder when we actually arrived at my hotel. The familiar faces at the hotel were also amused by my new found language skills, and they were very helpful in terms of correcting my pronunciation and adding in various missing words. It’s well known that German is not an attractive language at the best of times, but rest assured I successfully manage to butcher it beyond recognition. That said it’s been a long time since I’ve taken so much pleasure from learning a new trick and I am very happy at the prospect of some more intensive German lessons next week too.
