I will study German next year... I promised that I will do this and I rarely promise anything... New languages mean just new words to say the same or new things to say?
I don't know: in my case it would be a disaster if I started saying more things than now and in a different way. Already I can hardly stand myself speaking so much, and I don't want to imagine the effect of a long conversation in German... If I really could express concepts without stopping every three seconds, I'm sure first of all I would say to the Germans that their language I will never learn properly as there's no music inside... Then, I would start trying singing Volare auf Deutsch loosing the most of my friends, both as I sing like a bell and also as in German Volare will sound like Fliegen, and no music can really adapt!
But if I could avoid the disaster of the music, I could have a lot of benefits from speaking German in common life. First of all, at the supermarket I could start buying no more like a Neanderthal man indicating by finger meat and other fresh foods: the improvement would be avoiding the unexpected contractions of my face in infinite shapes to try to get something that I like and not just get what THEY understood. Then I could finally understand, among the continuos stream of words of the collegues, if we have to run in a direction since there's a fire or they're just indicating to someone where is the toilette, with the possible consequence of a smelly place but fresh or a smelly place very warm...
Definitely, I want to learn German, but I need help and motivation: maybe a gun in between my shoulders will make the trick! :-)

Never give up!!!
Maybe it'll take a little time, but sooner or later you'll find yourself speaking a fluent and effortless German!!!
It just takes a little patience and the will to find the time to practice your German; since that day, you'll face a New World, filled with chances, new (and comprehensible) challenges and words.
Now, it's GERMAN TIME!!!
Good luck!!!
