German Language Residents

2024-2025 Academic Year: Lea Marie Uhlending

Tell us about a favorite activity that you pursue when you have free time.

I love playing Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop games with my friends.

Tell us when and how you started studying foreign languages and what you like about learning languages.

I started learning English when I was in first grade, so when I was 6 years old. I started learning because my brother, who is 4 years older, needed help studying. That meant when he was studying his English skills with my mother at the dining room table, I learnt with him.

Tell us about a fun project idea that you would like to do in your conversation classes.

I would love to do something culinary, cooking or baking. Probably baking some proper German bread (we are big on bread here) or cooking some traditional dishes, like Currywurst Pommes and Gulasch.

Tell us what you would like to see in California or in the U.S. during your time at the College.

I really want to go to San Francisco and I also want to visit the LACMA. If I have the time (and the money) I’d also really love to go to New York and see a Broadway show.
