Now I would like to talk about a time when I had to teach myself the German language. It actually happened last year when I decided to do it after discussing with my friend. We had to do it because we needed a certificate which was really necessary to go to Germany. So that's why we made up our minds to learn it separately. Actually, he was in Nuku, his hometown, and it was really easy for him to take a course. So that's why he did it. But when it comes to me, I live in Tashkent, and here the courses are really, really expensive, and I couldn't afford them. So that's why I had to learn German by myself. I taught myself using different methods and techniques to acquire the language. It took me approximately two months to master it. Consequently, when I took the test, I achieved the B1 level, which was a great achievement for me. The same happened to my friend as well. We took the test this spring and got the B1 certificate. This was really necessary to apply our documents for the most important job, working in the storage, because we want to work there. So that's why we were so happy, and I'm really proud of myself because I achieved that result by myself. I asked God to help me make progress in that skill every single day, and I succeeded.
