Testimonials

At agi you meet people! I met Paul at agi – he was a teacher here. He was a good friend of mine and through him I met Angela – and a couple of years later I married her. So, I found my wife through agi! In German I can invent new words. I remember during my first year at work, after four years of German, I was saying something in a meeting and had an idea in mind and started to say a word that was so extremely long, but also made sense. Everyone understood and it was, in fact, a new word: Strömungsgeräuschreduzierungsmaßnahmen (air-regenerated noise reduction measures)! I was very proud.

In German I’m a different person. When I speak Chinese, I’m not so western. Western means that you share your opinions more openly and are more expressive, gesture more. When I speak English and German, I’m more open-minded and like speaking more. My favourite German word is “Kopfkissen” [head pillow]. In English “kiss” is like “kissen”. “Kopfkissen” sounds very soft. I like that. It’s a little strange. I like grammar a lot because it is like a game. Even separable words (in German) are fun for me and interesting. But I hate to learn new words. My personal tongue twister is [the German] “R”. We don’t have that in Chinese or other Asian languages. But if you want to speak really good German, you have to learn it!Rhabarber” (English: rhubarb), for example, is very long and very loud and unfortunately, I just can’t say it.
