Tiara's English Blog

To many of us english is not our first language. We all come from different parts of the world and this in return causes us to have different mother-tongues. I attend an international school, filled with culture, tradition, and a variety of languages.

When people think of Germany they usually think christian, no thought goes to any other religion. This has become a very huge stereotype now a days.
