First, when those lessons started, they were talking about letting me take spanish lessons, which wouldn´t have been too bad either, but unfortunately, the seem to have forgotten about that completely...
well, maybe it's time to remind them...
The problem is, if she would only talk about the pictures, like you described, I would be perfectly ok with it! But she also keeps on saying stuff like "Ich weiß nicht, ob Du weißt, was das heißt", even if the word is as easy as "Christmas" or "Age XXX". Also, when she shows an e-Mail (jokes or something), she says: "Ich weiß nicht, ob Du so gut Englisch lesen kannst". But she knows that I read a lot of english books, she even borrowed some from me already! That really annoys me a bit. Maybe you are right and I´m getting it completely wrong, but sometimes I feel like a complete idiot because of that!
OK, that's different, then... but convinces me even more that the problem lies with her, not you. I take it you already told her that, yes, you do know English "
that well"... hm.
Did she learn German as a "foreign language" or did she grow up bilingual?
Maybe the next time, you could just "answer" her in English: "Thanks, I really appreciate - but, in fact, I
do know what that means... [and if you really want to do me a favor, please help me improve my English instead of just translating everything into German for me... that just makes me feel like an idiot]"...
