Griffin Limerick, Minor in German I might have learned as much or more in this five week program than I've learned in all of my German classes combined. When you're immersed in a culture like this, it's impossible not to learn. The city is pretty much your blackboard. All you have to do is open your eyes to learn. When you see a sign on the wall written in German, you learn. When you read a newspaper on the U-bahn on the way to class, you learn. When your host family speaks German to you, you learn quickly. Just sitting in my backyard and listening to the neighbors talk, I could pick up on new phrases. This is all without the class. Then there's the class itself. I initially thought the class might be a little too much, considering the work load given. However, I found that I was learning so much, and Patrick was such a great professor, I really didn't mind. By the end of my five week stay, I felt incredibly confident talking to anybody in the city.
