Alongside exploring AI applications and machine learning on my own, I have traveled a lot and visited most of the Schengen countries, experiencing a way of life very different from the one I knew in Shanghai.</p> <p>Looking back, though, there is one thing I did not take seriously enough: learning German.</p> <p>For the most part, my German was good enough to get by. I could handle everyday situations, make appointments, and deal with basic paperwork. So I never felt a strong need to study it in a structured way.</p>
