Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

In exactly one week, I'll be taking that Level 1A German certification from Goethe Institut. I've started trying to learn the darned language a few months ago by going over the books I bought and also by utilising a number of free online exercises. It seems though that the older you get, the more difficult it is to learn a new language. Anyway, I've enlisted the help of an instructor to help me cram for the test. Just finished 3 out of 4 sessions and I think I'd manage passing it. Or maybe I'm just being cocky :)
