« Oui, je pense avoir fait des progrès. D'une part parce que je vis chez une famille d'accueil, et que le nombre et la diversité des occasions de discussion sont très grands. D'autre part, je me suis fixé une règle dès le départ : penser aussi souvent que possible en allemand. Cela m'a beaucoup aidée. Et évidemment, les cours et l'apprentissage de règles grammaticales à l'école ont beaucoup aidé! »

« La liste est trop grande. Mais pour se mettre dans le bain et découvrir Berlin, il suffit de sortir tous les week-ends. Il y a toujours une manifestation, un spectacle où des portes ouvertes à droite où à gauche, toujours des gens à rencontrer ou des gens à découvrir.Si vous êtes à Berlin en été et que vous aimez la musique instrumentale, le Young Euro Classic est inévitable ;) »
