Today I had with my friends amazing breakfast in Prenzlauer Berg where you can find many nice small cafes and restaurants which serve typical breakfast plates. I chose cheese plate which include variety of delicious cheeses, some nicely cut fruits, salad and different kind of fresh bread. Every table in the cafe was occupied. We tried to sit outside but finally we moved inside. The old buildings keep cool inside and today it was really needed. I strongly recommend all of you weekend walk in Prenzlauer Berg and having Berlin style breakfast!

Here you are picture of the sky before the storm.

This weekend probably will be the most hot this summer. Yesterday I was all day out and everywhere it was full of happy people. In parks families were having picnics (I really recommend Tiergarten with many hidden beautiful spots) or having sun or just like me sitting and reading in the shadow. Then at night the city kept busy. It looked like nobody could stay at home. I was walking with my friends in Kreuzberg along the canals. I wished to swim but I was told that the water is really dirty. This days I want to explore lakes around the city. The water must be wonderful in Wiessensee for example. Have a look at my cat looking in our staircase for some fresh air to breathe!

Today when I wanted to breathe properly for a moment I decided to escape from open air (it was around 40 degrees Celsius) to… shopping center where i wished to get some air conditioned air.
I was totally right – in Potsdamer Platz shopping center was crowded not because of sales but of great fresh air. But it’s not a point – being there I discovered amazing and what is important for free exhibition about the wall and divided Berlin between Russians and Americans. I strongly recommend to all of you visiting this exhibition which will be opened till the 2nd of October.

So finally Berlin got summer, tropical weather. Everybody tries to spend as much as possible time outside. So today I was taken to wonderful cafeteria on the top of Karstadt Kudamm near Wittenbergplatz Deutsche Akademie division. We had some nice vegetarian salads and chops. We even could go outside to eat our meal with an amazing view – on Bikini shopping center, two churches, some abandoned house and much traffic on the street. It’s really great to have a chance to visit places from where we can experience Berlin from new angle.

Das DeutschAkademie Team traf sich letztens in der Kochbar Berlin für einen wunderbaren Kochevent! In Kleingruppen wurden wir auf die Probe gestellt und bereiteten verschiedene Gänge zusammen vor. Als Vorspeise gab es ein Champignon-Carpaccio mit frittierten Wildkräutern, als Hauptspeise Schweinefiletmedaillons mit Kräuterkruste und als vegetarische Variante Gefüllte Zucchini mit Champignon-Ziegenfrischkäse-Farce an Kartoffelrisotto. Der krönende Abschluss war unser leckeres Dessert: Basilikum-Tiramisu mit Erdbeerragout. Für uns als Team war diese Veranstaltung eine schöne Erfahrung, da wir uns auch gegenseitig in einem anderen Ambiente besser kennen lernen konnten und zusammen ein wirklich tolles Menü genossen haben! Wir haben wertvolle Tipps von den Meisterköchen mit auf dem Weg bekommen und diese Erfahrung hat unser Team noch mehr zusammengeschweißt! Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf das nächste Zusammentreffen!

I was in the middle of preparing my homework when I realised that today… it’s last day of classes! But for many of us, including myself, we are back to next level already from Monday! So no summer break, no vacation till we learn enough ☺ I have so many new words to learn, verbs to be used in the correct way and many many things to be discovered like German words which have the same mining in my language – Polish, like: ‘’Dach’’ (siling), ‘’Pech” (bad luck) ora many many more. I wish you learned as much as me and everyday you will improve your German communications skills.
Viel Glück für alles! Und viel danke Nadine :)

Finally we have a beautiful summer in Berlin. This city offers so much especially when everybody wants to spend as much time as possible outside. Last weekend I was surprised by pride parade and 48 hours of art Festival in Neukolln but for this week I will be going around to visit beautiful green and full of wild animals Berlin parks. I wish to have a picnic and soon I want to go outside the city to swim in one of the famous lakes. The weekend will be really hot so I wish everybody will be having so much fun in the open, warm air.

Finally today in our afternoon class some Sun rays made us smiling but in fact we faced too much grammar as you can see on faces of my classmates. We already know how to say that something is happening, something has happened or was happening. We can order things but still we are confused about numbers which they mix up when our teacher tell us which page to turn! I can deeply feel that I learn so many new words and grammar structures that I get a bit lost. One day German seems easy but another I discover new rules and new complicated exceptions!
