The teachers would repeat things four or five times and we'd "study" one subject over the course of a week, so I didn't even need to pay attention. Then I took German. Learning a foreign language isn't easy. I actually had to study, and do homework, and all that jazz. Well, sadly, I didn't know how because I'd never done it before. So even though I tried, my efforts were entirely wasted by inability and I got the worst grade I've ever gotten. Something that will probably help you is teaching someone what you've learned. And these subjects are interesting to me, and I don't already know them. So how 'bout you go study stuff, then we go have lunch somewhere and you can teach me all the stuff you learned?
