As such, I do not hear much German (Hochdeutsch or Schweizerdeutsch) and am finding it hard to make real progress. I am a generally quick language learner, having tested into the latter stages of A2 having taken only 1 A1 course, but perhaps this does not provide a complete picture of my many areas for improvement.
