Re-learning German thanks to GermanHeit.

I am officially moving to Germany, Weimar in July to teach Spanish and French at Thuringia International School.
It is all very exciting but my German is quite basic and I have not spoken it since school years really!

So in order to refresh my German, I have found a great blog called GermanHeit (@GermanHeit on twitter). It is written by Babsi (@babsis on twitter) from Nuremberg, Germany and it is full of grammar tips and fun German media and comics. It also gives you an insight to German culture and food with key vocabulary to remember. I have suscribed to it on my Google reader and because each post is quite short, I only spend 5 minutes everyday learning or revising new German phrases and expressions.
I think it might also be useful for German teachers to show German comics or a short video clip to students.

Hope you like this blog as I do and enjoy today's comics :)

I'm from the US. My husband is from Thueringen, so we are moving back to his hometown. Next Wednesday is my last day at the school where I currently work.

Hi Alice,
Welcome to Germany! :) Good luck with your new start. I'm looking forward to your reports on Thuringia, where my brother and his family live (Arnstadt).
Regarding your German-learning project: The publisher I work for also has free resources for learners of German: http://www.deutsch-perfekt.com (to be relaunched in a few weeks). Then of course there are lots of Germans with great English skills on Twitter these days!
All the best to you
