I started a new semester of intermediate German at the community college (Volkshochschule). There are students from: Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kenya, Brazil, Turkey and Mongolia. We, of course, had a round of introductions. Names with far too many syllables or consonants were stumbled over. Almost everyone there, except me, can speak at least 2 other language in addition to German.
But the big tongue twister tonight? My home state of 'Massachusetts'.
I told them not to feel bad; I'd had decades to practice it.

Dear Becca,
Your old Albany German class hopes that you and your family are well. We look forward to your next post.
This fall we will read Effi Briest in class.
