Learning German: ‘Einerseits… andererseits’ – A Real-Life Struggle Okay, so here I am, six months in Berlin, and let’s be honest, German is hard. I thought I was reasonably good at picking up languages before – a little French in school, a bit of Spanish during a trip – but this is on a completely…
