Mein Kuchen

Yesterday we studied a lot regarding food and beverage, we need to survive :-), actually I knew many words ’cause I love cooking and eating too as well drinking, mostly wine and beer. In my opinion that is a great subject, helps a lot the conversation too. Everybody needs to eat and everyone goes to a Pizzeria or a Restaurant, especially when you are in another country like us, and to know how to ask for the food you like without misunderstanding is absoluetly necessary !!!
One more “problem” to solve: to know which is the right beer for you …. so many and sooooo good !!!For homework we had to write a recipe and i thought could be nice to prepare it also, so during the coffe-break there was also the “Kuchen” I cooked, sehr lecker !!!

Multi-cultural people

Munich is a multicultural city, people from all over the world live you and also many tourist visit the town during all the year (not only for the Oktoberfest).

That’s give to Munich an interational status, if you come from the other side of the world, for tourism or living here, be sure, you can find what you need coming form your own country.

There are markets specialized in asian food, or african or from every part of Europe as weel as restaurants or shops selling different kind of clothes.

I think people from other countries are living here in a good level of tollerance.

I can say that Munich is a modern city but thigtly traditional at the same time, in the street and not in special days for special events, it’s easy to meet people of any age wearing their traditional dress … AMAZING !!!

Munich is a wonderful town

Studying and leaving in Munich is a great experience, about learning german I’m sure it will be really usefull for my future (job and travel) and Munich is a wonderful town where to live.

I especially love the parks, many, clean, and big … love going to the Isar for a sunbath with a beer and my homeworks, yes, i often go to the Isar and I do my homeworks there … so, I enjoy my spare time and I do something to be a good student at the same time :-).

What I also like is going around and, always, i found something interesting to see. I walk for kilometers around the city and when i am tired, be sure a pank in a park is waiting for me :-).

Historical buildings are great, one is the Rathaus with the “Glockenspiel” a carillon playing three times every day, the colour of the building is gray and it’s fantastic the result they got putting hundreds of pink geranium in the windows, amazing !

To have the best view of the Rathaus and to all the town i suggest to go up the Saint Peter Tower, you will be exhausted but happy :-)

I started to practice my German

Last day of the second week: now, for sure, we are able to “talk” german, I mean, simply conversations and simply questions but it is much more than before.

I really started to practice my german during my everyday life, before, I was using only my english but now I can and I want make questions in german and give the correct answers too, that’s great! :-)

Many new words, verbs and adjectives and we started to use the Akkusativ … In german it’s so important to know the article of the nouns.

Second week at DeutschAkademie

About my collegues, young and well motivated … this is the second week and we start to know each better, during our break we like to drink a coffe together and talk about the reason why we started to study german, something about where we live in Munich and what we like doing in the spare time.

Our cours finish at 18,00 so everyone of us runs to home or to buy food for the dinner, but i am sure we will find the time to do something togheter, probably to drink a beer :-) in a beer garden.

My class mates

Today I want to talk about my collegues, we are ten people (classes are never crowded) coming from Europe mostly but from Asia too:

we are two from Italy, one from England, one form Slovenia, one from Croatia, one from Russia, two girls form China, one from Columbia and one from India. The age goes from 18 to 40 … but not me: I’m the oldest … I’m 50 (with a young soul … believe me ;-)

The reason why the are studying german for most of them is concerning the job, many of them want to try to find a job or a better job in Germany, some they still have a job in their own countries and to improve their status they need to speack german also.

Sahana, coming from Bangalore in India, has the husbund working in Munich for a big company and she want to join him and she will look also for a job.

Florence, from New Caste in England, has a german boyfriend living in Munich and because she wants a future with him she will move to Munich soon.

All of them are nice and friendly, I like really much them.

Main reasons for studying at DeutschAkademie

About Deutschakademie: First of all I want to tell you why I decided for the Deutchakademie, the main reason, I am honest, is the price.

I compered their prices with other schools price and The price of the Akademie are really competitive, but, of course, i had a look of reviews of the school … All the reviews are really good and they talk about the quality, high level.

After 10 days of my course I can say the same, the quality is really high and I am happy about my choice. I find the way they teach really fluent and direct, easy for beginners like me, in less than two weeks I am able to have a simply conversation :-)

I decided to continue studing german in September.

Our teacher is young but for sure she knows how to teach, she is friendly and polite.

What I Like about Munich

I love the parks, big, nice and clean and I love the way how people enjoys them … When there is good weather and mild temperature everyone goes out from the house for a walk in the park, especially the Englisch Garten but also in the riversides of the river.

During Christmas time, for one month, in almost every square, little or big, you find markets selling Christmas decorations and special food and drinks … Amazing!!!
About markets, walking 10 mins from DeutschAkademie, you can visit the Viktualienmarkt, an old and  really nice open market where you can find fresh food, little restaurant and specialities from all over Europe, simply great!

The reasons why I decided to study German

Guten Morgen,

today i want to tell you why I decided to study german. I work in the tourism (hotel manager) and the place is Tuscany, a land loved by people coming from central Europe, especially from Germany .. of course talking in english is easy and help me really a lot but, I think, to give the welcome and talks german with german guests it will be really really good.

One more reason is because I visit Germany frequently and now is time to have a conversation in german with the people that i meet, it is a way to respect the people of the country I visit so often.

I choosed the Akademie after a quickly tour on internet, i found their website and it was really clear and easy to find the answer to my questions, all, including prices and termes of conditions. Of course I compared with other schools but or because their website were not really clear (sometimes really confused me) or because were too expensive or for other reasons I decided to go to the Akademie and after a really nice and friendly conversation with the employer I decided to make the test for the admision and I paid for the first course … fast and easy :-) I am really sure to have taken the right desition: a good quality at the right price.
