Joe writes: I have been placed as an English Teaching Assistant in a school
within the German state of Baden-Württemberg, which borders on both Switzerland and France. In addition to gaining classroom
experience, I will work to bring my German language skills from
"literate" to "fluent." As a musician, I would like to make
music a primary focus of my time there. I plan to play with a community
orchestra, take lessons, and collect and transcribe as much local folk music as
I can. I have also previously made contact with distant relatives from the
area, and plan I to return to my great-grandfather’s hometown for another
visit. Also, thanks for all your help and support on this!
Liebe Grüße, -Joe
