Improving?

I dunno. I used to be pretty quick in picking up things, including languages. That was before I tried to learn German. Mind you, I'm not a linguistic person, but I did all right after practising a lot.

And I know I am pretty much fluent in English, and can understand other languages, but with German I am very unsure.

Some of my friends correct me once in a while, and I don't know whether it is that I speak so good that the few mistakes I make need correction, or if I am so bad that the corrections are made to make my talking intelligible.

It's excruciating not knowing!
