Michael Trader : Ich freue mich auf das Essen und die Schule. Ich werde auch mein Deutsch verbessern. / Ich habe Angst davor, mich mit den anderen Leuten unterhalten können.
Charlie Gnagy : Ich freue mich auf Berlin, deutsches Essen, und mehr über die deutsche Kultur zu lernen. / Ich habe Angst, weil Ich die andere Amerikanern nicht gut kenne . Ich lerne weniger als ein Jahr Deutsch, also mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut. (For example, I needed outside help for nearly every word in this)
