Description

Annelie and Lucy talk about Advent and Christmas traditions in Germany. They even go back to the origins of St. Nikolaus day that Germans celebrate on Dec 6. Germans love their Weihnachten. Not only do we make Advent wreaths and bake cookies, we also decorate our houses in- and outside. We love a besinnliche Weihnachtszeit (=calm, reflective and peaceful). Grab your Glühwein and enjoy this episode. And don't forget to clean your boots and put them outside your door, maybe St. Nikolaus will leave you a gift!

This podcast is directed to our international students. We talk about study-related issues but also about your new life in Germany which can be tricky: Where do I get curtains? Which shops are cheap? Where do I find jobs? But we also want to bring you closer to the country and its people, get to the bottom of Swabian peculiarities and discuss German culture with internationals - and what is that anyway? Tune in!
