I have been learning German
Think and say Deutsch when you speak
I've learned a thousand words this year
That's more than one a week
One new word a day's three hundred
Allowing none on holidays
Being lazy, tired, or busy
Or having a bolshy day
I lay awake at night
Thinking what to say
But often lack a vital word
Or one word has run away
I'm feeling very smug and proud
Enough to mutter words, not loud
Just think of all the time I take
To speak with only one mistake
I'm still perplexed by die and das
The system's failed me, I suspect
But I don't like to make a fuss
Because I'm not yet perfeckt.

The English spelling is perfect and the German spelling of the same word is perfekt.
Where can you learn and practise speaking German?

You can use German in Germany, Austria and German-speaking parts of Switzerland. Also Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and parts of Belgium and Italy.
