I am hoping that when you read this, you will be a German speaking pro. I hope you will be speaking like a native. I hope hope hope you will at least know how to conjugate...
I also hope that you stay humble. Please remember how difficult it was! Remember your embarrassment, your frustration, your joy when you got something right (by accident, of course!) Remember; you felt stupid and you didn't like it, so you ate humble pie and knuckled under.
A wise person said that our intelligence is an illusion, and that it is good to have that illusion shattered. You completely agreed, and promised yourself that you would never be so big headed again.
So, future me, please remember these early days of struggling with prepositions and the definite article. Remember that you just didn't have a clue, and never forget that our intelligence can only be improved upon (:
