German Language Assistant Inga Ranft
My name is Inga Ranft, and I am the German Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant. In Germany, I live about 1 ½ hours from Frankfurt, in a nice, but small town called Schwalmstadt. I have been studying English and German for three years at Philipps University of Marburg to become a secondary teacher. The teaching assistant program is part of my education.
My tasks here are to assist German classes, teach the Lab class, meet at the German Language Table (Tuesday and Friday from 12:00-12:50 p.m.) and host a German night (Tuesday from 7:00-9:00 p.m.). I also participate in German Club activities. Of course, everyone who is interested in our activities is invited to the language table and German night!
In my free time, I like to write short stories in English. Furthermore, I love to cook and bake traditional German food. If you want to try some, you are welcome to visit me. In addition, I am very open minded and love to try new things and meet new people.
If you want to meet me, want to speak or practice German, have questions about Germany or need some help, please, contact me!
This is my first time in the U.S., and I love it
