(Terms and conditions apply. Make sure to read the rules of the Sprint.) Imagine moving to a foreign country to go to a boarding school where you don’t speak the language fluently - and all of this at the age of thirteen! To many, that would sound like a nightmare but this week’s guest did so willingly and even stayed to complete his schooling there! Clemens is Josh’s previous flatmate in Munich and agreed to join us for this week’s episode to share his experiences of having gone to a British boarding school. From school uniforms, athletics and boarding school culture, we loved getting to pick his brain and learn about this unique subculture of British education. We hope that you all enjoy hearing his story and getting a perspective on schooling that is completely different than what we have shared in the past!

Om Podcasten

In our podcast “Understanding Train Station”, we (Josh and Feli) explore the intricacies and pitfalls of living between cultures. The title is derived from the German idiom “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” which literally translates to “I only understand train station”. Similar to the English saying “It’s Greek to me”, it is used to express a lack of understanding which is an all too common feeling when dealing with another culture and living abroad. Feli (aka “Feli from Germany” on YouTube) is a German living in the U.S. and Josh is probably the most “Germanized” American you’ll ever meet.
