      Bussu is a good app. Bear in mind no app is alone going to make one perfect the language, one always needs to supplement language learning through various means. Having said that ‘Bussu’ is still good app. I supplement it through learning over UA-cam, some other apps, Germans songs and watching my favourite shows in German.

      I work full-time in tech and I studied for this test every free second I had. I studied while I was having meals and then before/after work. I agree it would be easier for someone who’s unemployed, but I did it while being employed and this is how.

      @@wanderonwards ah yes but there are jobs for ex that doesn't let u control your own free time like an online teacher for ex. If your schedule is from 2pm-11pm that's 4 hours straight work with no break at all and one hour for dinner and another 4 hour straight shift without break coz u have a list of schedules u have to call. But I have to say I think u are exceptional. You're just gifted with memory. German words are usually very long and has 4 cases to remember unlike English. Two weeks is definitely not enough to memorize the diffrent gender of nouns and verbs in different cases. Sleep is important for brain function too. It takes time to get used to the German structure and not keep comparing it to the English structure u have to think like a German in order to do this. Plus reading and comprehending German is too easy but to actually hear a native speaker speak it its like hearing a totally different word and your mind goes blank. Two weeks to learn is very impressive. I think you are just very gifted in learning a second language.

      Tee Pams - that does suck, but people gotta do what they gotta do. Work cultures vary from county to country so I think our 8 hour work days would be criticized lol 😆 My Chinese colleagues work 12 hr days so boo hoo to us.
      In my case, I was getting up at 5:30am studying until 9, then I would work until 5:30, and then hit the books again until the night. It was either do this or get kicked out of the country and restart the process so 🤷🏽‍♀️ I made it work
