Hi there!
My name is Viktoriia and during this month I will be sharing my experience in learning German and exploring Vienna. Well, actually, the last thing we will be doing together with you, my dear reader! 🙂

Something about me: I’m 19 years old and I’m originally from the capital of Ukraine – Kiev. I’ve spent half of my childhood in Kazakhstan, then returned back to my homeland and at the age of 17 I’ve moved to Finland to study in a university. But I guess an inner wanderlust has always been hidden inside me, probably that’s the explanation of why I’ve changed places again? Now I’m here in beautiful Vienna doing my Erasmus exchange year since September 2016 and I absolutely love it. I couldn’t make up my mind about the place for my exchange for a very long time, but finally Vienna won my heart, because of all amazing things and opportunities this city offers, and of course because I can improve my German here. And you know what? I didn’t regret my decision for any single second! There’s so much to see, try and experience here – in this city, “more” is never “enough”.

At some point of my stay I have realized that maybe it was the time to take the opportunity of living in a German-speaking city more seriously, and that’s how I ended up doing an intensive course here at DeutschAkademie. I’m studying B1.2 level now, and have already secured my spot for the next-level course – B2.1. To be fair, I couldn’t have wished for a better German course, I love everything about it! But I’ll tell you more about it in the future posts. For now, enjoy these pictures of wonderful Vienna 🙂

 

Stay tuned!

Cheers, Viktoriia
