GLS + Homestays

For the last 3 weeks, WNE has been in home-stays and German Language School (GLS)! We were all divided up, and I was so lucky as to land with Cole, Andrew, Braedon, and Jo! Us five guys were assigned to Jörg and Angela, a lovely couple who were born and raised in the former East Germany (GDR)! They have been such kind hosts! They cook for us every breakfast and dinner (we get lunch at GLS), and Angela even does our laundry for us on the weekends!

We have become very familiar with the M1 Tram, which takes us to and from school each day.

GLS has also been incredible! Even in three weeks, I can tell that my German has improved dramatically! However it is less beautiful than it’s cousin, Dutch. Our teachers are engaging and hilarious. They also never miss an opportunity to jab at “Dumm Amerikaner” 😂

We wrap up our 2nd of 3 blocks in Berlin on Friday when we depart for Bratislava, Slovakia! It is all flying by!

The last photo is of Sarah waiting for her train after we departed from our 1.5 year anniversary dinner! She is so precious to me 🥰Read more
