Getting to Know Bettina

Introduction:

I sat down with my fellow teacher Bettina this week in order to get a better glimpse into the life of an ordinary German.

What is your full name?:

Bettina Christmann

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

I live in a small village near Annweiler. It's called Wernersberg. Bigger cities around my home village are Kaiserslautern (about 40 km or 25 miles); Mannheim (about 50 km or 31 miles). Wernersberg is in the Pfälzer Wald (Palatine Woods). So we are surrounded by woods.

I live in a detached house with a garage and a small garden. It's in a housing estate with a lot of young families with small children who are always playing on the streets. We have a kitchen, a dining and living room combined, an office, two bathrooms (one is for guests) and three bedrooms.

What is your family like?:

My family consists of me, my husband and my two children (a boy of eight and a girl of five)

How do you get around?:

I drive by car. There is hardly any public transport in Wernersberg. Only a few buses a day come through.

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

Mostly jeans and t-shirts/longsleeves/pullovers. Sneakers.
