Herzlich Willkommen!
Guten Tag! My name is Judy, and I created this blog to document my year abroad.
I am from California, born and raised, and am a student at the University of California, Davis. I am spending the year in Berlin and attending Freie Universität Berlin, studying both Wirtschaftwissenschaft and Deutsch, otherwise known as Economics and German.
I chose to study in Germany for several reasons. For one thing, part of my family is from Germany, so I love learning more about my family history. I also chose Germany because of the history. Germany has had such a turbulent history in just the past century as well as since the formation of the country and the people living here. The study of economics is also amazing here, as Germany has the third largest economy in the world, had has several economic ups and downs, and used to have two completely different economic setups (capitalism and communism) literally right next to each other.
This blog has two parts to it. Meine Gedanken is my blog that documents my time here, my thoughts and any news I wish to share. This is also where you can find pictures. This entire section is written in English. Das ist Leben (in Berlin) is my German blog, for those that wish to practice there German or ask me questions about German, Germany or Berlin, or life in general here. These are NOT translations of each other!
I invite you to join me on my journey through the year, and learn along with me about being eine Amerikanerin in Berlin.
