Hallo, my name is Paul Tickner. I’m from a place called Colwyn Bay; a small, former seaside resort in North Wales, Great Britain. I’m currently a student of Business and German at Bangor University.
My interests include: following football – in particular Oxford Utd-, watching football, playing football, criticising the mercenary nature of the modern game, yet continuing to fund it through the purchase of football shirts, match tickets and beer in sports bars. What can I say, its a bit of a vice, but I am working on it..
I enjoy current affairs and Science Fiction. Favourite series include, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Firefly and Babylon 5. Weiterlesen

Hello everyone!
My name is Suzanne and I am from Dublin, Ireland. I am very excited to be here in Jena with you guys and I am looking forward to exploring Thuringia! I am from a small town in Dublin called Shankill which is right beside the sea. I spent last year studying German at University College Cork in the south of Ireland and before that I did a degree in Latin and Philosophy at University College Dublin. I enjoy things like reading, hanging out with friends, going to the cinema, playing frisbee, eating good food and walking my dogs.
Hopefully I’ll get to meet a lot of you in lessons…but even if we don’t have a lesson together, you can come and say hi anytime : Just ask for me in room 1203!

Hello everyone!
My name is Laura Collins and I come from America. I live in the state of Oklahoma, in the suburb of Edmond, which is very close to the capital, Oklahoma City. Oklahoma is famous for rodeos, Native Americans, horses, and of course, Route 66! I graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) in my hometown, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in German studies and a minor in business administration. My intense interest in language and travel gave me the desire to one day live in another country. It was always my dream to live and work in Germany, which is my favorite country in Europe.

Hello!
Firstly I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Imogen (a name which doesn’t seem to exist in Germany!) and I come from the UK. My region is called Shropshire, and it is very similar to Thuringia. I have just finished studying German and French at Durham University in the north of England, and felt a real ‚Wanderlust‘ after graduation. And as Germany is my favourite country, there could be no better place to go! I am working in your school this year as an English language assistant. I have been here for 3 months so far, and I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone – so far it has been lots of fun working in your school and living in such a beautiful and lively city as Jena.

Hallo, ich möchte mich vorstellen und Ihnen die Ziele und Verlangen meines Jahres als Englischassistentin vorlegen. Ich werde natürlich auf Englisch schreiben, da ja meine Arbeit ist, Ihnen Englisch beizubringen!
I arrived in Jena in September 2005 excited about the challenge of this job in a new country. I had graduated in June with a degree in German and Russian from Edinburgh University in Scotland, and this seemed a perfect opportunity for a first job in Germany. My curiosity in other countries had already taken me three times out of Britain for half-year periods: twice to Russia, where I got my first teaching experience, and once to Austria; and this time I was keen to learn more about Germany.
