Guten Tag oder Guten Abend (whenever you read this) I am going to be in Heidelberg next summer for 4-6 weeks. I am sooooooo anxious that I wanted to post now. What is it like there? I am going to be attending the Goethe Insititute at the University of Heidelberg. Are any of you familiar with it? I cannot wait! I am full blooded german, my parents came from there, and I would love to see the country that has my origins in. What is there to do in Heidelberg? Anyother info would be awesome, and maybe I could meet some of you guys!
Hello Noah, wow, great reading and I`m loking forward to meet you next year. I`m living close (just 2 miles) to Heidelberg. Oh yes....there are so many hings to do....pffff...too much to list. Heidelberg........famous, wonderful old town http://www.heidelberg.de/ close to he beautiful Schwetzingen (3 miles from Heidelberg) with an amazing castle http://www.schwetzingen.de/ and don`t forget the HOCKENHEIM RING F1 track!!!! 10 minutes away from Heidelberg!!!! http://www.hockenheimring-shop.com/index2.html BTW, the famous GOETHE institut http://www.goethe.de/ins/de/ort/ust/man/deindex.htm is NOT in Heidelberg!! Its so called but its actually in MANNHEIM! http://www.mannheim.de/ But its just a 20 minutes drive away from Heidelberg. Best and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask me you are always very elcome Wolfgang
Wow, awesome wolfgang. Thanks for the info. I think it would be really cool to meet you too. And those links you gave are extremely helpful. I had no clue that the Goethe institute was in Mannheim because it doesn't say that on the application I did, but it does not matter, it will be awesome anyways. I really hope that i will refine my german there even more. Fluency is a major goal of mine.
