Apologies in advance if I'm not allowed to ask about this.

I'm currently learning German 🇩🇪

My comprehension is somewhere between A2 and B1, but my spoken fluency is between A1 and A2 because I don't get much opportunity to express myself in German.

I'd like to improve that substantially.

I've had the idea of starting a YouTube channel where I simply post a video, say once a week, of me speaking German.

Then people can comment offering advice on my pronounciation and vocabulary.

The idea is that I would get some practice speaking and build confidence doing so publicly.

I'm not used to putting myself out there in this way, so I'd appreciate some feedback on this idea please.

Thank you 😊

I've applied to a local college to study an access to HE course and been accepted following an 'interview' (informal chat).

But they said in the interview that the access course is part-time (2 evenings a week for 4 hours) and lasts 5 years.

Is 5 years normal?

One one hand it seems far longer than other providers.

On the other hand, how are other providers delivering a course that is supposed to be equivalent to 3 A-levels in only one year?

I'm a little confused about this.
