GoodBye!

Hey Leute,

This is my last Post and decided to use it to say goodbye, and thanks all the people who read the post and of course the Deutsche Akedemie, this next September will be my last course with them and I just want to say goodbye to everyone and hope the best for everyone one of you…

Reading German News!!

Hey Leute,

Now I want to give you some tips for improving your german and one that really help me out, was watching german news, reading the newspaper, watching tv in general, sports, anything related to actual hapenings around germany and the world. At the begining could be hard but the more you parctice, the more you will understand…try to first read, listen, watch, anything…without loooking everyword in the dictionary you don´t get…just keep reading and later on you will realize you will be getting more and more, of course you won´t get everything but at least the main ideas on your first try but keep pushing..

Tandem!!

Hey Leute,

For those who don´t know what really “Tandem” means, it is basically exchanging your language with an other person, who lives in this case, in Munich and speaks other language (german). You can arrange regular meetings and you can improve your foreign language skills and get
authentic information directly from a native speaker. The best part is Free, you only need to find a german who wants to learn your native language and that´s is. it´s easy, free and on internet there are many sites where you can find them..or just post a sign on the streets with your contact…that´s it!!

Zeugnis für deutsch “Evidence for German”

Hey Leute,

I don´t know if someone knows about the extra services of Deutsche Akademie, for example, I was asking in the office for any kind of proof of my perfomances during class (grades) and they gave me this official Paper which specify your grades in different categories. Personally, I found really helpful due to the fact that I´m applying to a Masters here in Germany, and it is atractive for the Universities to see how well you are doing in your german course. So, just ask in the office and they will be pleased to help you out with that…

BBQ at the River

Hey Leute,

As you can feel, the summer already started and a perfect and delicious way to enjoy it is doing a BBQ-Grill-Party at the river..I have done it a couple of times and it is great. Although, you have to plan ahead because the weather is a bit crazy here and you don´t want your BBQ to be ruined…Eventhough you don´t have a proper grill there are some “afordable” options in the supermarket…in most of them…I bought once and was enough for one day, and I remember paying like 3 Euros for the temporal Grill.. so you know…have a great time and a last tip…if you want a nice spot for the grill…just go to tierpark U-bahn, cross the bridge and walk left like 5-8 minutes…really nice spot!!..enjoy!!

FlohMarkt!!

As you may know, the Flohmarkt are places where you can find anything from a book, clothes, food, antiques and so on…yeah..Last saturday there was a big Flohmarkt near my house and so decided to llok around..and trust me you can get really good deals…for example…I found my First pair of LederHose in this Flohmarkt and I saved a lot of money..the same Lederhose in the stores is over 200-300 euros..and mine was only 60 euros..so whenever you see a Flohmarkt..walk around, you never know what you can find in this markets….and for sure…everything would be cheaper than any other store in the city…believe me…or you can just go to a Flohmarkt and see it by yourself…

Bis nächste mal….

LederHose

Hey Leute,

For those who don´t know how important it is to have one pair of “LederHosen”…Since we are in Bayern, it is a must to own this particular german pants…somehow it will help you to adapt better with the german atmosphere..and to be honest they are quite comfortable…but the sad part of the story is the LederHosen are really expensive due to the fact of the material they were made of..anyway…just don´t buy the first pair you see…you can always get better offers…but hurry up…they become more expensive when the Oktoberfest is close..C&A is a god and quite affordable alternative for buying your first LederHose..or if you lucky…on the Flohmarkt!!..that would be the cheapest option…

Cheers,
