I have had the huge honour recently to write a guest post for
Ken Wilson's blog. I wrote about my experiences in the former
German Democratic Republic, where I lived and taught for a year from 1981-82. It was a character building year for me and one which taught me a lot about what life was really like beyond the "Iron Curtain." Below you can see the opening lines from the blog post and the interesting connection that Ken and I share.
Please do hop across to Ken Wilson's blog in order to find out more about
Living and working behind the Iron Curtain. Some clues are hidden in the Wordle below.
I can assure you that you will learn a few interesting facts about what life was like there 30 years ago!! You can see some of the many books I own connected to learning German in 1982, and some books on life in the GDR.
You can also find out what it is like to learn German in the modern era of 2012, written from
Ken's unique perspective as a language student!

Living in the East.....
I reckon you would have NO trouble giving something up for Lent for a mere 40 days!
Not in 1982, that is for sure! I think it is totally different nowadays, so it would be difficult.
