Too Marvelous for Words

Recently, me and the other participants found out where we were going to be placed for the Language School portion of the program. Let's take it a step back though.

As part of the conditions of the program, we are placed in a German town/city for 2 months of intensive language courses (August - September) at the Carl Duisberg Training Center. Language school will take place in either 3 of the following German cities: Köln (pronounced "Cologne"), Radolfzell, or Saarbrücken. Afterwards we are later relocated for the 4 month university phase and 5 month internship portion.

As fate would have had it, I was placed in Radolfzell!!!

Radolfzell, fully known as Radolfzell am Bodensee, is an incredibly beautiful town located in the southern German state of Baden-Württemberg right on Lake Konstanz (Constance), and VERY close to the Swiss Alps. Since it is located so far South my neighboring countries are Austria, Switzerland, and France.

Here's a pic of Lake Konstanz (Constance). You see those mountains off into the distance? Yeah, that's basically Switzerland. Beautiful isn't it?

I cannot WAIT to start this adventure. I'm somewhat nervous about the challenges I will soon face. I read that we will be covering a lot of lessons in our 8-weeks there. 30 lessons a week with a LOT of verbal interaction between students & tutors, but I suppose it's all apart of the journey. I can't forget my main purpose which is to immerse myself in the culture of the Germans. 

I think this deserves an around the world and back SNAP.

That's all for now!
