Ah, that's really cool! (Although I heard it's a hard language to learn for foreigners.)
Anyway, I wish you good luck on your German class^^ If you ever have problems (relating to grammar etc.), you can ask me and I'll see if I can help xD
(On a side note, if you talk to someone who's more or less the same age as you, you normally don't say "Guten Abend." because it sounds really formal in that case. Instead, German speaking people simply say "Hi" or "Hallo"^^ But eh, I guess as a beginner, it doesn't really matter that much xD)
