This city represents a lot of culture and tradition which forms not only an picture of Bavaria but Germany as a whole. The world knows about the food, the beer, and the Oktoberfest naturally. However, that only represents a bit of German society.

Munich is pulsating and constantly redefining itself. A mix of tradition and modernity have complimented each other over the years and settled into a city that hasn’t forgotten it’s tradition and pride throughout.

The understanding of making bread for instance has deep roots in Bavarian culture. Over generations recipes were handed to our time and have been interpreted creatively. The traditional bread product plays a tasty role in my favorite coffee shop Aran, and it’s conveniently located only one stop away from the Deutsch Akademie. Check it out for some good eats bread and cake!

So in order to not just scratch the surface of Munich but to also understand the pride and identity of the city, learning the language is the key. It turns you from a tourist to a child of Munich. The language is your “yes” to a new experience and discovery. It will bring you ahead, uniting you more with the city and the people. I’m happy to have the opportunity to learn German here at the Deutsch Akademie and sharing it with you guys!

All the best and enjoy Munich.

Servus!
