This past Friday evening marked the end of my third week in an Integrationskurs here in Berlin — a state-subsidized German-language course that is intended to help immigrants become more fully a part of German society. I'd had some German before, so I ended up joining in the middle of the second of six seven-week “modules.” We meet for three hours every afternoon, Monday through Friday… and I have been learning much, much more than just German language.
