My experience with learning German

Hi everyone, in this entry I would like to explain how was my process learning German. I started with German during the pandemic. This time was horrible for all of us but at the same time was an opportunity to learn new things. In my case it was the opportunity to learn German.
I had at first online private classes with a chilean teacher who teach the language in a German school in the South of Chile. With this teacher I learned the basis of the language, as the numbers, the alphabet, etc. The most important thing to learn during this period were the four cases in German, which are four.
After this course I wanted to improve more my level in German, therefore I decided to study in Lingoda, which is an online language school. At this time I was able to speak in German with German teachers and this fact was very important to trust in myself.
After these courses I decided to make the exam for the level A2 in the Goethe Institut. Actually I needed the certificate for a level B2 for my university, but I wanted to advance step by step.
The surprise for me was that I could not pass the exam and that was so frustrating, because I made a big effort to achieve this goal. I reproved the exam for A2 three times and the question was always: Why can I not pass this fucking exam? 😅
So I searched tricks of polyglots in YouTube and then I discovered many tips which I started to follow. The most important advice was the next: The best way to learn a new language is with content which is very interesting for you and which is not easy and not difficult at the same time. For example, if you are an astronaut you can listen many podcasts about the universe in your target language, but you must can understand the 80% of the content.
With this advice I found many podcasts, videos and books about music, because I am composer and my dream is to compose music for films. At the same time I started to use the app LingQ of Steve Kaufman, who is one the most important influences for me to learn a new language. I was very happy when I was able to approve the German exam for level B1 at the first attempt. That was very incredible because at the same year I was able to pass the German exam for the level B2. With the certificate B2 for German I could enrol in my university.
I hope with this method to pass the English exam for the level B1.
Thank you for reading my second entry in English.

I would caution on making definitive statements on how everyone benefitted from the COVID-19 pandemic. While lots of people have gained new skills from the pandemic, many others have died from the COVID-19 virus or know others who got severely affected by COVID-19.

In my case it was, I took/seized the opportunity to learn German.

I would recommend using the passive voice as little as possible, as you did with this part of the sentence, "It was the opportunity to learn German."

I had at firstAt first, I had online private classes with a cChilean teacher who teaches/taught the language in a German school in the South of Chile.

I'm wondering if they're currently teaching German. If they are, use the present tense, teaches. If not, you can use the past tense, taught. If you don't know, you can choose whether or not you can the past tense or present tense.

With this teacher, I learned the basics of the language, asincluding the numbers, the alphabet, etc.

The most important thing tohat I've learned during this period were the four cases in German, which are fourGerman cases.

I rewrote the sentence to be more concise and to use the active voice when you're expressing your frustration of failing the exam.

Thank you so much for your comments! Concerning the 80% I meant that you must be able to understand the most of the content, although the rule 20/80 could be interesting for this topic 😅
