Sept 6: German Intensive Course/Pub Quiz

We had our first day of our German intensive courses. I’m very happy with where I am. I’ve been placed in the high end of the basic knowledge level, which means that I can review all the difficult grammar that I’ve forgotten. All the instruction is in German, which is great practice.

Tonight we went with E & P to the Office Pub (English speaking) for pub quiz! As I mentioned before, the questions can be on practically anything. We got some really obscure ones (the first German railway was built between which two cities, named “N-“ and “F-“?) some that were obviously aimed at a certain demographic (what is the name of Justin Bieber’s boa constrictor?). ;-) There was also a music quiz, which was very lucky for me, because you had to name 10 excerpts of classical music. We got 8.5/10 right on that one! :-)

By the way, if any of you come to Austria, you should try a Radler. It’s beer mixed with a sweet lemonade/Sprite kind of juice. Quite tasty, if you can get over the weirdness of having a sweet beer…like a cooler! ;-)
