In this episode I talk about German names, some of which can sound very unusual to a native English speaker. You’ll get a chance to hear about some of the most popular boy’s and girls names over the past few years and I talk about German laws and practices regarding the naming of your children.
It’s been a long while since I put out a fresh podcast, but I’ve been surprised to see my subscriber stats go up rather than down. Just goes to show you, the less I say, the more popular I am 
I’d like to especially thank Sigrun Bjork from Iceland for sending me a very nice e-mail!
As always, I’m very keen to hear about your thoughts, comments, corrections and questions about the topics I’ve covered as well as anything that you may be interested in learning about Germany? You can contact me here or add me on skype: tauralstravles
.And I was going through Amazon and found some cool stuff that you might like to have. Just browse the carousel and if you’re interested, click on the product.
Hey, you didn’t say…so is Uschi a guys name or a girls name?

Sorry for the long time w/ no post….
Yes, we made it Der Vaterland and had a great time…weather was a little cold and sketchy..but you know, that’s early spring for you (march 20th-30).
We’ll definitely be back.
Thought you’d like to see the Der Spiegel story on restriction of hyphen names.
