Hallo und wilkommen\u00a0zu meinem dritten blog f\u00fcr LingoMap! Jetzt bin ich f\u00fcr einen Monat f\u00fcr mein zweites Auslandssemester in K\u00f6ln in Deutschland.\u00a0Nach anf\u00e4nglichen Schwierigkeiten, einschlie\u00dflich der Tatsache, dass ich keine Wohnung finden konnte, habe ich mich endlich hier eingelebt!\u00a0Ich vermisse wirklich das Leben in Lyon und habe dort so eine gute Erfahrung gemacht, aber ich freue mich auf dieses neue Abenteuer hier!\u00a0Bis jetzt habe ich die Sprache ziemlich schwierig gefunden, besonders meine Vorlesungen an der Universit\u00e4t, aber insgesamt glaube ich, dass mein Deutsch besser wird!\u00a0Ich entschuldige mich f\u00fcr irgendwelche Fehler!<\/p>\n

I’ve been given the topic of ‘Travel and Transport’ so I’m going to talk about what the transport is like in Cologne, what it’s like getting around and the travelling that I’ve done so far here and the plans I have for the rest of the semester!<\/p>\n

In K\u00f6ln ist es sehr einfach zu rumkommen, auch wenn Sie weit weg wohnen.\u00a0Normalerweise in deutschen St\u00e4dten k\u00f6nnen Sie die U-Bahn (the underground) oder\u00a0die Stra\u00dfenbahn (the tram)\u00a0nehmen.\u00a0Hier sind sie das gleiche und oft auf einer Route gehst du sowohl unter als auch \u00fcber, verwirrend, oder?\u00a0Sie haben auch die S-Bahn (S ist die Abk\u00fcrzung f\u00fcr schnell), das ist ein Zug Sie nehmen beide in die Stadt und zu den nahe gelegenen St\u00e4dten.\u00a0Hier ist es ziemlich teuer f\u00fcr Tickets \u00fcber 8 Euro pro Tag, also bin ich froh, dass ich es mit der Universit\u00e4t kostenlos bekomme!\u00a0Auch hier muss man vorsichtig sein, als ob man ohne Ticket erwischt wird, es gibt eine gro\u00dfe Strafe!\u00a0Neben den \u00f6ffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln fahren hier viele Leute und es ist viel beliebter als in Gro\u00dfbritannien.<\/p>\n

As far as travel is concerned here, there’s lots to see and do! I’ve only been here for just over a month but I’ve explored most of the city. As I haven’t been here very long I’ve mainly wanted to settle in here before I start travelling more elsewhere, so far I’ve only been to D\u00fcsseldorf with some friends but next on my list are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and Frankfurt, and possibly a few days in Vienna when I have the week off in May!<\/p>\n
