Hallo!
Ich heiße Chris

Im from Tijuana, Mexico (north part of Mexico, in the border between Baja California and California).

Spanish is my first language , but i also speak english, so im basically learning German my second language which is English whit Rocket German.

The reason why i decided to take German lesson in English, is because spanish is very very diffrent than german, but english has some similarities, also i think the quality of lessons in english are better than the ones available in spanish.

Is anyone in the same situation that i am?...(this is learning German as a 3rd language, but doing it on their 2nd.) If you are, what are your opinions regarding this?...you think is easy?...what are your tips?

For example, someone who was is a native french speaker , and also knows english and is using rocket german to learn german.

Well...vielen dank to all of you...i excpect a lot of comments

Auf wiedersehen!

PS: Sorry if my english sucks but again consider is not my first language...maybe i need the Rocket English course also hahah

I took a class with someone who came over from Russia. She said that it was very hard, because since the class was in English, she had to translate everything from German to English to Russian. She had to force herself to think in English, which made it a little easier, and it helped her improve her English as well. She said that it took a lot of work, but she was able to do it. (BTW- your English seems to be very good. Except for a couple words that are misspelled, everything you wrote is written correctly)

Danke schön!!!...
Yes, in fact, it helped me improve my english a lot, cause i have to "think in english" and now i`m trying to think in german.
By the way , i just noticed now that i misspelled a few words hahaha the only one i noticed at first was the "whit" instead of "with" but now that a read it again i noticed "excpect" instead of "expect" and in the second paragraph i wrote "im learning german my second language" instead of "in my second language" hahah but well, that isn`t that bad at all!...again thanks for your comment, i was thinking no one was going to!!! hahaha...

danke PA deutsh lover...i am a deutsch lover too!!!...
bis bald!

Yeah, it is pretty normal. I study both German and Spanish through English (my native language is Czech). There are better courses/podcasts/basically everything you need and it's fun!
