new course

I started a new German language course today.  Its not run by the same group as before, but by the Volkshochschule (the state adult education group).  So far I'm pretty impressed.  The previous classes were very intense and very expensive.  This is the opposite.  However it actually seems to be a better structured course in that it follows through with a subject more that the Berlitz courses did.  For example, we did some work on modal verbs today. but instead of only dealing with them in first and third person in the present tense, we dealt with them from all perspectives and multiple tenses.  Its good, because I think it is more like actual conversation than the other method, which maybe was a little too rigid.  I'll know for sure after a few more lessons.
