I was talking with an American expat who has been here over a year and we were reflecting that we were both very surprised by the lack of culture shock, since besides the language, and German food, there are a lot of similarities. Germans can appear cold at first, but once they get to know you and like you, are very warm, as Canadians are:) Germans are also quite social and enjoy spending time with their friends, similar to Canadians. A "typical" Saturday night in Germany is similar to that in Canada. The 20 somethings are out at lounges and pubs and then off to a disco. Movies are also a popular choice. Dinner and a drink is a popular date choice. Going to a festival (which there are a lot of and all revolve around beer, wine or food) is also a popular choice when hanging out with friends. Hope that helps!<br /><br />Affordable Jewelry, I like your attitude and hopefully this will help me learn German faster :)Expat in Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743639313200541303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585753063099230546.post-44031465421258219262010-10-08T14:42:36.427-07:002010-10-08T14:42:36.427-07:00I remember taking a German course when I went to s...I remember taking a German course when I went to study abroad. At first you think that they hate and don't want you to succeed but there style makes you want to prove them wrong and try harder, faster, stronger!Affordable Jewelryhttp://passion-gems.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585753063099230546.post-89426531953271980112010-10-08T07:02:02.285-07:002010-10-08T07:02:02.285-07:00My apologies but one more quick question....what i...My apologies but one more quick question....what is a "typical" Saturday night and Sunday afternoon like in Germany?

I've been doing a report on Germany and can find TONS of information about the differences between Canada and Germany but am having trouble finding information on the similarities between Canada and Germany - would you be able to shed some light in this area for me? It would really be appreciated!Dawn Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585753063099230546.post-67014309225836151212010-10-07T22:25:33.960-07:002010-10-07T22:25:33.960-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this post...

I've forgotten most of my Spanish (it's amazing how quickly it goes when you're not using it). Glad to hear you're enjoying my blog, thanks so much. I really appreciate your kind comments. I hope you're able to come back and visit soon!Expat in Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743639313200541303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585753063099230546.post-29152003314775134132010-10-06T23:44:18.430-07:002010-10-06T23:44:18.430-07:00I hope your old "new" teacher is here to...I hope your old "new" teacher is here to stay, too! Forbidding students to ask questions, not interacting, and scolding students for being "slow" "stupid" are always worst ways to teach. <br /><br />There are no better ways to quell people's passion for learning than telling them that they suck at it.<br /><br />(I have been lucky to have very kind and helpful German teachers, but I have neglected my German study and now I've almost forgotten everything. I feel like I let my teachers down, D:)<br /><br />And by the way, your blog is wonderful, I have been stalking you for the last week and I love it - it makes me miss Germany so much. That was one of the best experiences of my life. I hope you will be able to update regularly and I am looking forward to all your new entries!Asian Girlnoreply@blogger.com
