Amerikanische Konversation und Landeskunde

Wednesdays, 17-18:30 pm, Room 1220, Ernst Abbe Zentrum:
Amerikanische Konversation und Landeskunde class taught by Frau Corey and Herr Nacmanie.

I am now officially (with the help of Dave) teaching a university class on American culture and conversation. Our first class was yesterday. Yesterday was get to know you day -- everyone had to tell us one cool thing about themselves. Some selections of cool things:
- I can eat AT LEAST six hamburgers at a time - Ki or Kevin from China
- I like steaks A LOT. ("What kind of steaks?" we ask, "Beef, horse, whale?") I don't care, as long as they're BIG! (as he makes a hand gesture approximately the size of a small table).
- I am a woman. -- Now of course, this one sounds a bit strange, but she qualified it by pointing out that she studies computer science and so she is an oddity in the field. The Technische Universität Ilmenau, like many other technical universities, has a high gender imbalance.
