I had to take German as a requirement for my course of college studies. I had a prof. from Germany who was not easy to understand. I passed with a good grade but have often wondered if it would have been easier learning if I had a German speaking English prof.
I not only failed German in College, I flunked Latin in high school. I wasn’t a very good student but I think those are the only two classes I failed.
I apparently am not very good at verbal learning or whatever it is called.
I am still glad I took Latin as a lot of what I learned has stayed with me. My old Latin teacher, Emmabelle Jones would be shocked I bet.

I have my doubts that it would have mattered.
