German Language Assistant Sanja Petricevic

My name is Sanja Petricevic, and I am the German Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant at Pacific University. I live and study in Mainz, which is one hour from Frankfurt in Germany. I have been studying English and German for three years at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz to become a secondary teacher. The teaching assistant program is part of my education and a great opportunity for me to experience the educational system of the United States.

My tasks here are to assist German classes, teach the Lab class, meet at the German Language Table (Tuesday and Friday from 12:15-12:50 p.m.), and host a German night (Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 p.m.). I also participate in German Club activities. Everyone who is interested in our activities is invited to the language table and German night!

In my free time, I like to travel and learn about different cultures. I myself was born in Croatia and consider myself European. I love languages, and this is why I’m taking a Spanish class here at the university, and I enjoy it very much. I love to meet new people, try new things, and learn about different cultures and countries. I really like to cook and bake (especially German cakes and cookies).

If you would like to speak or practice German, if you have questions about Germany or need some help, or if you just would like to meet me, please, contact me! Ich würde mich sehr freuen.
