Other influences
?? Previously, I had a handful influences from the german culture. My first dog was called ‘Kaiser’ because my grandfather wanted to call him so. He also learned german after he retiring. My brother and sister-in-law also went to germany a few years ago. Even worse, the last name of my first girlfriend is ‘German’.
?? Previamente, ya había tenido unas pocas influencias de la cultura alemana. Mi primer perro se llamó ‘Kaiser’ porque mi abuelo quiso llamarlo así. Él también había decidido aprender alemán después de jubilarse. Mi hermano y mi cuñada se fueron de intercambio a Alemania unos años antes que yo. Para el colmo, el apellido de mi primera novia es ‘Alemán’.
Beer of Germany
?? I was told that there is around 4000 brands of beer, in Germany alone. I don’t have any proof about this fact but it sticked in my mind before I went to Germany and when I came back… I still thought I didn’t taste them all!
?? Me contaron también que en Alemania, hay aproximadamente 4000 marcas de cerveza, solamente en Alemania. No tengo ninguna prueba de eso sea cierto pero quedó grabado en mi mente antes de ir a Alemania y cuando regresé… ¡sentí que no las había probado todas!
?? In Ecuador, we didn’t have good beer at that time and there wasn’t many options. Therefore, I didn’t developed an exceptional desire for beer. But things were about to change…
?? En Ecuador, no teníamos en ese entonces buena cerveza y no habían muchas opciones. Por lo tanto, no había desarrollado un gusto excepcional por éstas. Pero las cosas estaban por cambiar….
Next Chapter! How was it learning?
?? In the next chapter I'll write about my experience learning german. I almost gave up but I don't regret a single day. Why Germany? Because I earned this rewarding language that helps get along with the germanic tribes!
?? En el próximo capítulo escribiré sobre mi experiencia aprendiendo alemán. Casi tiro la toalla pero no me arrepiento ni una sola vez. ¿Por qué Alemania? ¡Porque gané este gratificante idioma que me ayuda a llevarme con las tribus germánicas!
