I can’t believe places like this still actually exist. After going through last minute planning for tomorrow, we went out to Luneburg. It’s just…

It’s the first Genki English Workshop in Germany this weekend. Very exciting! I’ve also brought my brother across with me, as while I’m over here I’m going to try and sort out some more new ideas and materials for the new Genki German course. Hamburg was the city for today, and it was pretty cool,…
