I really want to be a teacher, especially for dance. Hip-hop and freestyle are my favorite dances.

Hallo! This means hello! Ja! That means yes. And Nein -- that means No. Danke schoen -- Thank you. Bitte schoen -- you’re welcome. Wo finden wir Eis? (Where do I find ice cream.) Eine Apfelschorle, bitte. (Fizzy apple juice, please.)

Favourite places?

Tempelhofer Feld - It was the first airport in Berlin and is still in the middle of the city. Now it’s a huge park for rollerblading, biking, BBQ and circuses. Berlin Wall - It was built in 1961 and torn down in 1989. It divided the city into East and West. Checkpoint Charlie - It has lots of historical facts about the Berlin Wall. Gleisdreieck Park - There are lots of playgrounds and picnic spots and a skate park. Ice cream! Germans eat more ice cream than any other country. My favorite place is Vanille Marille. Krumme Lanke - A great place for swimming in the summer which has a little Biergarten for parents and hot chocolate for kids.
