Sensitive in a new culture
Fear of the baking food...
May sound like a joke, but many are afraid to go to the bakery: What if they ask for our order before we are ready?
I’m on the sensitive side. Took time to really interact with the culture around. Since I was in the middle of native German speakers, with no contact to English speakers, I picked up the culture and language without much translation. This did me good.
German culture in my experience is polite. Of course, like anywhere, there are psychopaths, sociopaths, manipulaters, unfriendly and silly people. But the culture in general is polite from what I have seen.
If we can loosen our defenses a bit, stop jumping to conclusions, give a chance for the other humans around, it can be a satisfying and growing experience.

The chef, The music teacher: Analogies
Specialized kitchen
We passby a restaurant that claims to serve the best Indian, Italian, Burger... everything. Keyword: we passby.
We pay premium price to eat the home made pasta made at the Italian family restaurant.
Learnt Jazz
Say person X landed in 'Jazzland', learnt Jazz starting from zero, performs it regularly among 'native' jazz players, have certificates and proofs to show. If X starts to teach, along with some native jazz players, combining the knowledge of X as he traveled the path + the accuracy and exactness of the native players.
If playing jazz is what you want, would you pass the opportunity and instead learn from a music school that claims to teach all musical instruments?

The Bridge and the Shores
How a combination of non-Native real life learning experience + the certainity of a native language and cultural teacher can be to your advantage.
“The ‘ihr’ form is not obvious to me.” I said in my B1 class.
“It’s to me” said the teacher.
The German courses and exam preparation I (Shyam) attended were in German. Rarely was English spoken. Language learning experts consider this setting wonderful – learning by immersion, not reduced by translation and over comfort.
Most of the native German teachers knew how to teach, had learnt the rules of the language – but not all Germans know the rules or can help you with the underlying structures. Some of them could think from the students’ side – a difficult trial – searching deep within oneself to find their own learning metaphors.
Our community college head was a Hungarian lady who had PhD in German. There were other exceptionally good non-Native teachers too.
- I closely followed the pronunciation – learnt it like I did Tamil, Spanish or other language songs. I made my own deductions, groupings, templates, made my own set of exam preparation core syllabus. You will benefit from this.
- I still need corrections from native speakers. You will benefit from that too – GWL has native speaking teachers who make sure everything is as correct as it needs to be.
