Brittney Son (student at Austin College): "Germany began to interest me after meeting several German foreign
exchange students in high school. They
were all very open towards the different cultures in the United States ,
especially towards Mexican culture. I was able to explain to them in detail the
various traditions Mexicans follow. In return they taught me about German
culture, I instantly fell in love with it and wanted to experience some
traditions first hand. I have gone to authentic German restaurants that are set
up as large meat halls, and they offer a great atmosphere for families. It
surprised me how people enjoy teaching and strengthening their German heritage.
I mentioned to my German friends Merle and Lana that I wish to study in Germany
for some time. They both became overjoyed with my comment. Merle gave me a long
list on why I should visit her country. She also explained to me the amazing
experience I would have. I am determined to learn German in order to visit
Germany and maybe one day speak to my friends in their native tongue."
