Earlier in the week I attended a presentation about the school system in Bavaria (related to my new volunteering role). On arrival, I ran straight into Petra who I know from the NLP class. One of the signs of having 'arrived' somewhere is to have a big enough network of people that you start meeting them on different occasions.
Secondly, the majority of people present, including the presenter (the headmaster of a school) were Bavarians, with a proper Bavarian accent. I was sitting there, smiling to myself and felt that I had truly arrived in the Bavarian community.
Give it a few more years, and I might even be able to say a few words in Bavarian myself! 😎
