An Interview with my German Roommate

Introduction:

My roommate, Sonya, is 19 years old. She was born and raised here in Leipzig! Sonya and I have lived together in the same apartment since September, so about three months now. We have gotten to know each other well, and she has been great at helping me practice my German language. I'm excited for you to learn a bit more about her, and her life here in Germany!

What is your full name?:

My name is Sonya Cornelia Hecht.

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

I live in a four-person student apartment, which has been newly renovated. It is a historic apartment building in the southern part of Leipzig. 

What is your family like?:

We are a five-person family. I am the oldest sister, and I have two crazy younger brothers. My parents are upper-middle class, and are very hospitable, determined, hardworking, and direct. 

How do you get around?:

To get around the city, I usually go by foot or with my bike. For longer distances, I use either the buses, trams, or the inner city railways (S-Bahn). 

What types of clothing do you like to wear?:

I wear a wide variety of styles! Oftentimes I wear sneakers from Nike or Adidas, jeans and sweaters, but I also like lots of colorful clothing.
