Guten Tag euch allen! It has been a little while since I have used my German so I was feeling a little rusty before I started this challenge. I learnt German earlier this year for our road trip and was very pleased with what I managed to learn in a couple of months before our trip. If you haven’t read about our amazing German adventure check … Continue reading German Advent Challenge
Merry Christmas Everyone! The Festive season is here and I am very excited to unwrap my presents and stuff my face. I am definitely going to have grief bacon in January (read my Lost in Translation Review to get that little German joke). For those who don’t already know, #Clearthelist is a language learning community that brings together fellow language learners by sharing their monthly goals; hosted … Continue reading #Clear the List – Language Goals December 2017
After a very underwhelming first night in Munich, I woke on the final day of the trip and shook off all the bad feelings ready to have a fresh new start and find something great in this city. I wasn’t disappointed! The first stop on our little walking tour was a small coffee shop on a back street near our hotel called Das Neue Kubitscheck. … Continue reading German Diaries Day 7 – Munich (Part 2)
With Neuschwanstein Castle shrinking into the distance we were making our way to the final stop on our German tour; Munich. We decided to spend the last two nights just outside the centre of town so that I could take a well deserved rest from driving. I love a good road trip, but after 1000km in 5 days it was definitely time to spend a … Continue reading German Diaries Day 6 – Munich (Part 1)
We woke early on the sixth day with the final day of road tripping ahead of us. We planned on spending two nights in Munich so that I could take a little respite from the continuous driving. I think that 1000 km in 7 days of driving is more than enough for anyone, don’t you? Our first stop of the day was to be Neuschwanstein … Continue reading German Diaries Day 6 – Neuschwanstein Castle
Lindau, in case you have never heard of it, is a little town on an island poking out onto the north east corner of Lake Konstanz overlooking the Alps, Switzerland and beyond. The Gasthaus we had chosen for the night was on the outskirts of Lindau and so we thought it would be nice to venture into town and enjoy the sunset with the … Continue reading German Diaries Day 5 – Lindau
6 weeks in and it’s finally time to share my experiences of using the new Elemental Sounds course from The Mimic Method. As this is my first course review I thought I would explain the format will use. I have started with a quick summary of all the key information followed by a more detailed description below. Rather than a star rating at the end … Continue reading Mimic Method Elemental Sounds Course Review
It was an early start on the fifth morning, ready for another day on the road towards some new and exciting adventures. The plan was to work our way from the north west of The Black Forest to the south east, stopping for the night in a little village on the edge of Lake Konstanz; called Lindau. Before all that though, we were heading … Continue reading German Diaries Day 5 – Triberg and The Black Forest
Baden-Baden was not quite what I had expected. Whether it was my lack of research, or the specific photos I had seen on the internet, I was expecting to turn a corner into a little village nestled in the forest with some hot springs dotted around. Reality was very different. We came out of the tunnel and were met with a busy and bustling … Continue reading German Diaries Day 4 – Baden-Baden and a tasty trout dinner
It was finally time to leave the comfort of the Romantic Road and venture onward to the legendary Black Forest; driving on the infamous Autobahn we had heard so much about. We had a very long day of driving ahead, so I had planned a few pit stops along the way to break it up. The first was the lovely little town of Bad … Continue reading German Diaries Day 4 – Bad Mergentheim, Heilbronn and The Black Forest
