In this episode, we sit down with Christian Höferle, a German living in the US and an intercultural trainer with his website The Culture Mastery. He shares some of his personal stories and the stereotypes he has encountered as a German abroad, while simultaneously shedding light on what truly defines being German. In this context we’ll also explore how your own culture often only reveals itself when you find yourself surrounded by different perspectives and experiences. In our „Ask a German“ segment, Christian will provide valuable tips on how to become a true German Freund. Additionally, we’ll share some creative ideas for enjoying the beautiful fall season in Germany and in our news segment we round up this week’s highlights.
