Another week is past by, on this amazing trip. I must admit it is hard to believe that three months have past since I landed in Frankfurt. Along with a month has gone by since I left Radolfzell and moved to Münster.
My internship has its perks, namely 2 week Ferien (breaks) scattered through the year. For instance Now this past week was a part of the fall beak and I continue to have a break next week as well. This past week I used the time to mainly catch up on sleep, and just set back and relax. I sadly didn't have enough time to plan anything cool to go do during this time. I was only informed on the thursday before.
Tuesday I met with a lovely woman named Katja. We met through a tandem partner site. Whats a tandem partner you ask? A tandem partner is someone who speaks another language (that you want to learn) and you speak a language they want to learn. So in my case Katja speaks German and decent English, and I speak English and some German.
How does it work? You put up an Add and wait for someone to respond, then you can either video call or meet in person. We decided to meet in person in downtown münster, outside of a cafe. As I stood there waiting it seemed to me, as this must be what internet dating feels like. After meeting we decided to just walk around the downtown area and get acquainted. She was quite interesting to talk to and I definitely think we will meet again.
I would recommend anyone trying to live or study abroad to look into tandem partners. It's not only a great way to learn the language, but also make new friends along the way. Which is usually one of the hardest parts of going to a new place.
Through the rest of the week I would say was rather uneventful, I explored a little of münster and did some research for an upcoming blog, STAY TUNED THIS WEEK. No spoilers, but thursday should be the release date!
Sorry that this one was a little boring,
