Hi all! My name is Diana, and I will share my time in Vienna for the next four weeks. A few months ago, I started writing for this blog, and now I am back as a B1.2 student. I started at Deutsch Akademie back in August with A1.1 and have been learning at D. A. since then. Although I have been in Vienna for about half a year, but I am still finding new and exciting sides of the city/ country and tips on living in this city. I am excited to share some of my favorite running routes and some discount tips available to students (sorry under 26 usually) in Vienna.

My first visit in Vienna was about two and half years ago in 2014, and that is when I fell in love with the city. I made one more visit a little more than a year ago, and after I finished my university in Virginia, USA, I decided to take a gap year before I start graduate school in Seattle. So I moved to Vienna about seven months ago planning to spend the year here, and learning German was a little plus on the side! So far, I have done some traveling and obviously learning German and training for Vienna City Marathon in April.

Yesterday was the first day of B 2.1 and also is a first time in months I got a new teacher. Since A 2.1 in October, I have had the same teacher for four months. All the B level classes seem definitely more discussion oriented which I find most people want.
