Get to know PROLOG - Uschi
Hello, I’m Uschi, I’m writing to you from Felsenkeller – it’s a really beautiful bar across the street from IH Berlin PROLOG. I like to have an after-work beer here with my wonderful colleagues after a long day of teacher training. As of this year, I have started working as a tutor in the teacher training programme at PROLOG. How did I get here? It goes like this:
While I was in Peru in 2001, I worked with university students and taught them German grammar, but soon reached my own limits. The students knew more about the dative, accusative and participles than I did! How could that be? When I returned to Germany, I became a trainee for the teacher training course at the International House Freiburg. I had so much fun and discovered so much about my native language that I trained to become a German teacher while I was studying Italian, German and Ethnology at university. My studies took me all the way to Italy and China. I love to travel, either on business or for pleasure. So in 2009, I landed in Berlin and soon found work at PROLOG, where I became a teacher trainer and have shared my love of language instruction with motivated teachers-to-be.
And when I’m not working? You’ll often find me rock climbing, playing the clarinet, enjoying the theatre or dancing salsa. All of these activities are possible in Berlin, and that’s why I love this city so much.
