Description
Klaus is German and visiting America. Improve your German and your knowledge of German culture whilst listening to his tales! Klaus in Amerika - Washington, D.C. and to the Rockies is the second part of a series of short stories. Each of them is short and sweet, or kurz und knackig. The manageable length makes it easily digestible, yet teaches valuable vocabulary, to give you a satisfying and efficient learning experience.
Since Klaus is telling about his travel adventures in an English-speaking country, many keywords are English and help you follow the story. Key vocabulary, given within each section, just after the corresponding words and repeated after each section, helps you with this. The vocabulary list is also provided as a PDF file accompanying the audiobook. At places, small translations are provided, to help you follow the story.
Synopsis:
My name is Klaus. I grew up in a small village in the former German Democratic Republic, now East Germany. In 1961 three of my uncles fled to Canada, just early enough to avoid the Berlin Wall. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to go to America. When I was nine years old the wall fell. Twelve years later, in 2001, after school and shortly after my military service, I flew from Dresden via Zurich to New York with a so-called "rail pass" valid for 45 days. It was my first big trip and it would take me across America by train. In 45 days I traveled almost 10,000 miles from the East Coast to the West Coast, and to Canada, where I visited my uncles for the first time, then through the Southwest to the Northeast. Just having survived the first night in Manhattan and having visited Philadelphia, I am now in Washington, DC. I still haven’t eaten any hot food. In this second part of my story, I tell you how I traveled from DC through the Appalachians, Virginia, West Virginia, and to Chicago, where I took another train that would take me to the edge of the Rocky Mountains, close to the Canadian Border.
