Playing a German Student...Kind of.

In early May, around 60 Canadian students found themselves in Kassel to improve their German by taking courses geared toward their respective levels covering the content that normally takes a semester within 6 weeks. Part if their experience includes a tandem program, partnering a Canadian student with a German one. This would give them a chance to use their language skills "in the real world."

Boy, was my partner in for a surprise!

We had a great time though! Although we didn't speak much German, I was able to teach her plenty about the German culture. We also learned a lot about each other's cultures. It was a crazy-fun mix of German-American-Canadian exchanges going on.

I must admit, it was fun being a host student to someone in the city that's hosting me!
