I'm sorry about the test. I have never flunked a German test, but then I only ever took one class. That said, I remember being disappointed when I found out I was a level below what I was hoping for in a self assessment test.
Another German learner here, except that unfortunately, my progress has been slow. A full time job and part time studies will do that to a language learner, so I do what I can and have to accept that I am definitely not going to break any speed record, hehe.

I read all the comics on his page, plus the book is only 64 pages. Also apparently it
doesnt contain all the comics, it would bug the OCD in me.
Methinks he should have waited another year, and had a 100+page compendium.
But that guy sure is talented. He deserves revenue.
Avid Learner, I get where you are coming from. I'm kinda in the same boat. So my
German learning is in fits and starts, especially at this beginning stage where a lot
of concentration is required.

I have trouble with pronouncing Besprechung. I can do Spechung, but adding a be make my
tongue hammered drunk.
Wasted too much time on HTAL today.

Ein interessantes Log hast du hier. Lass nicht das Ergebnis deiner Prüfung dich
entmütingen. Das ist nach allem nur eine Prüfung - kann deine Deutschkenntnisse nicht
exact messen. :)
I envy that you are studying German in Germany. After all these years of German, I have
yet to visit Germany and breathe in the atmosphere of the language. In fact I've only
spoken to 5 native speakers of German so far, one of them being my ZD examiner.. :(

Yeah. I have took a couple German placement tests over the years and did a lot worse than I expected and it
really got me down since I had spent a lot of time on the language. But then I told myself if I'm reading books
in German.. Well.. How bad can it really be?

Thanks Jiwon! I've already moved past the exam.
Have you considered joining a German forum? That will allow you to be in a German world
in cyberspace :)

Have you got any suggestions? I don't know of any decent German forum.... :(
A German language learning forum would be ideal, but any college related forum would do,
as would sociology related forum.

This I do not know. You might want to make a thread in the asking for Specific
Languages subforum asking for forum suggestions. I am sure lots of people would be
interested.
