MJ‘s mini-blog

I live in Germany. I go to a German school.  It is hard to make friends because I don’t know German.  Whenever I go out, I can’t speak the language unless I’m on base, where everyone speaks English.  Because that is where all of the Army people work who come from America.  But some people do speak English that are German, mostly grown-ups.  My teacher, Frau Heubner, is a very nice teacher, in my opinion.  She tries to help me to learn German a lot.  And I have another teacher he tries to teach me German too, I want to learn German as fast as I can just like all the other German people do.  I am glad to be in Germany, I really like my home.  When I go to school I feel really excited, but at first I felt a little scared.  After the first day I wasn't scared to go back tomorrow.  I realized that children were really nice and so were all the teachers and my principal.  I walk to my school and I walk home from school too.  My Mom takes me to school everyday, but I normally walk ½ or all the way back by myself.  I like both walking with Mom and walking by myself, but I feel more grown-up when I walk by myself.  Most of the kids have Mom’s pick them up but other kids walk home like the older kids.  Oh, and I teach English on Tuesdays, and my teacher doesn't always know the words in English so I have to teach her how to say them.  And I really like being a teacher of English in my class.
