Summary: <p>In this episode, Claudia, Katrin, & Michael revisit the St. Paul Oktoberfest, share some of the fun and experiences we had, and marvel yet again how amazing these two days really were. Thanks again to Paulaner Bier and all the volunteers who made the SPOK even possible ~ Thank You!!</p> <p>Katrin dives into the GAI Library and we talk a bit about the European Reference Frame, which defines the way we teach German at the GAI.</p> <p>Oktober is a month of significance in Germany, and this year even moreso than in previous years. Germany celebrates the 30 year anniversary of the Mauerfall. Katrin and Claudia reminisce about their memories, and the reasonably neutral Austrian, Michael, weighs in as well. It's the memories of teenagers. </p> <p>Lastly, Claudia takes you through the upcoming events at the GAI, too.</p> <p>####</p> <p>Since 1957 The Germanic American Institute has been building cultural bridges between the American Midwest and German-speaking European countries.</p> <p>We cordially invite you on the inside, to join us as we share insights into German grammar, the German cultural experience, we’ll look at current topics, and we’ll let you know about all the events that we are involved in, and you can participate in.</p> <p>If you'd like us to answer any questions you may have about our content, history, grammar, etc. please email us at: language@gai-mn.org and we'll include your request in the next episode.</p>
