Introducing Jan

Posted on January 25th, 2010 in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Hi everybody,

my name is Jan and I´m one of the new bloggers for transparent language. As a blog contributor I´ll provide you with frequently blog posts and hope to wake your interest about German language and culture! So I would be pleased to read some feedback of you…

Some words to my person: Well, meanwhile I´m 33 years old and I live with my family in Stuttgart which is situated in the south of Germany. I think I am the only one (of the bloggers) still living here, so you´ll get some information directly from Germany.
In “real life”, I work as a Project Manager for a company that creates websites and other stuff that´s related to digital and interactive media. I first got in touch with transparent while I used to live in France and some of them contacted me due to some videos that I posted via vimeo.  And as things happen, I created some video content for transparent language. By the way, I hope I could use my camera as well to create some posts! We´ll see.

So I´m looking forward to blog, to read and to meet people (at least in a digital way)…stay tuned!

Viele Grüße aus Stuttgart!

An Introduction….

Posted on January 25th, 2010 in 1121 | No Comments »

 

“Guten Tag” German Blog readers…

I’d like to introduce myself as one of your new bloggers here.

As a German residing in the United states since 1992 it has become an interesting journey so far for myself, along the way having picked up English Language when moving to the US, like many people from different nations coming to America.

From culture, language and habits, we are all used to in our own home country, I hope to share some insight with you of some of the interesting facts of these two nations, things that some of you might already know, yet will make you laugh, ponder but also educate you of the Language, dialects and diversity, but also the influence these two countries have on each other. From news and hardships people on both sides face when relocating to the US or Germany, one thing Germans can’t  find is real ” leberwurst ” in the US. Do you agree?

So stay for more and hope you will enjoy the ride with us! 

Biss Bald,

Sandra
