Throughout the course, learning about the different German-speaking cultures has made me realize aspects of my own culture that I normally don't think about. For instance, being originally British, questions about outsiderhood tend to be at least somewhat relevant in reference to my familial life. My perspective on German cultures has also shifted quite a bit. Before I started learning German here at UNC, I often had stereotypical conceptions of Germany. Now, I understand to a much greater extent the customs that govern the country.
I hope to learn even more as I continue on into German 203! I feel that my understanding of the complexities of German culture will only continue to increase as I learn more about the language and German history.
