I decided that 2018 is the year I'm going to do some of the things I've always said I'd like to do, but haven't. I'm sick of always finding excuses for everything.
I love Greece and I've always wanted to learn a bit of the language. I signed up for a Greek for beginners course that started tonight. I was really looking forward to it, but I just ended up feeling really embarrassed. My knowledge of Greek stretches about as far as saying hello. However nearly everyone on the course knew the entire alphabet, loads of phrases and were basically far more knowledgeable than me. I had to admit several times that I couldn't follow stuff and I was SO humiliated. My face was actually burning with shame. It probably sounds trivial but I felt like I was 12 again, and back in the classroom not understanding the teacher.
I was really excited as I haven't done a college course since 2013. AIBU to not want to go back? I feel the college has misled me as the course was described as suitable for people with no knowledge of Greek. Yet the tutor just seemed to assume we knew loads.
Perhaps I'm just thick?
