Hi! My name is Ana and I began my German course today. I would like to write in German, but I’m lacking confidence to do so right now. I hope I will be able to write my entries in German by the end of this course, though.

If anybody is reading this before coming to Berlin I would like to suggest them that they should pack as many sweaters as their suitcases can possibly hold. Believe me: you are probably coming from a warmer country, unless you are coming  from Siberia. Streets are icy and slippery, but the city is worth several embarrassing falls, that’s a fact!
