My lovely German friend Tabea surprised me with a beautiful Christmas calendar. I love my German friends. When you become a friend with a German, believe me this will be a lifetime friendship. Germans are really good and loyal friends.

So, my wonderful friend Tabea came to me with this special box full with mini personal gifts. I can open one gift every day during the month of December until CHRISMAS DAY!!! How creative is that? I have usually seen the Christmas chocolate calendars but this one is even better.

I am so excited every time I open a new package. To be honest, I will never forget this special and creative way of celebrating Christmas. Tabea is the best in bringing smiles on my face.

If you want to let someone know that you care and love them, make the same or write them an email or a send them a letter every day during a period of time. Believe me they will be joyfully surprised ;)

Happy people make others happy too!

Today in DeutschAkademie we had a presentation day. That was a great idea of our lovely teacher Kerstin. She asked us to prepare a presentation about a topic we like or we are passionate about. She wanted us to practice our German Speaking Skills in our B2.1 class. I loved the ideas as it made us not only train our German speaking skills but also our public speaking skills. It was fun!

I chose a topic that I love talking about: VALENCIA – The Spanish city where I grow up.

Here I can share with you part of my PowerPoint presentation:

 

VALENCIA

• Valencia ist eine wunderschöne Stadt an der Ostküste Spaniens. València ist die Hauptstadt der autonomen Region Valencia. In Spanien gibt es 17 verschiedene autonome Gemeinschaften.

Valencia ist die drittgrößte Stadt in Spanien nach Madrid und Barcelona, mit rund 1,5-1,6 Millionen Menschen.

• Was können wir in Valencia essen?

Valencia ist bekannt für seine gastronomische Kultur. Ein typisches Gericht, das ich euch empfehlen kann, heißt paella. Paella ist ein Reisgericht mit Meeresfrüchten oder Fleisch (Hähnchen oder und Kaninchen). In Valencia findet man eine wirklich schöne Auswahl an frischen Meeresfrüchten direkt aus dem Mittelmeer.

• Wisst ihr, welche Früchte Valencia berühmt gemacht haben?

Die Orange … .Valencia wird das Land der Orangen genannt. Die Orangen sind sehr süß und sie sind perfekt für einen frischen Saft am Morgen.

• Was ist interessant in Valencia zu besuchen?

Etwas wirklich Interessantes, das ich euch in Valencia empfehlen kann, ist der Komplex Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències.

Es ist das wichtigste moderne touristische Ziel in der Stadt Valencia und einer der 12 Schätze von Spanien.

I hope after hearing part of my presentation you are curious about visiting Valencia.

See you there

 

Hahahahah I love German humour.

Today I would love to share a glamourous topic with you: TOILET PAPER

Hahahha Wait, toilet paper has nothing special but German toilet paper will surprise you.

Today I bought Christmas toilet paper. Can you imagine? Well, I have to confess, that I bought it accidentally. I discover what I have done when I opened the package and then I was overwhelmed by the smell of cinnamon and Grühwein. Hahahhaaha

German humour is the best! Germans never stop surprising me.

Every part of our body will feel Christmassy these days ;)

 

I am sooo happy!!! I just got my tickets for the Christmas musical “THE PROMISE”

I cannot wait !!! It’s going to be fun !!!

Every year my family and I try to go and enjoy at least one Christmas performance in December. It’s a family Christmas tradition. We are all busy but we can always find a moment when we can spend some quality time with our loved ones. I think TIME is the best gift one can give in Christmas.

Enjoy and make the most of your timex

P.S. In case you want to join us for the musical, the tickets are available online: www.christmasspecial2016.eventbrite.de
