Depends where she's from. In the cities like Berlin they wear similar clothings to us: jeans, denim jackets and T shirts. In rural areas they wear more traditional garb, for example Bavarian girls wear a dress called a dirndl

How should I approach an exchange student?
How should I approach an exchange student?
So in my Mississippi Studies class, there's an exchange student from Germany. I've been assigned to help her out because she speaks only so much English and when she does speak English, it's a bit difficult for anyone to understand her. She's a bit shy but when you talk to her she's really nice but how should I help her get around? P.S. I was born in Germany myself and speak the language.

Just ask her what she needs to know and fill her in on important information. :)
2 :
Just ask her periodically if she needs help finding anything in the school, or if she needs anything at all. If you see she is having trouble explaining herself to someone, step in and ask her in german what she is trying to say, than act as translator.
3 :
It's good that you speak German! So, what I would personally do is just talk to her and make her feel welcome. Joke around with her, and don't make her seem like "the foreign exchange student." Make her feel like a friend, and just point things out for her and be there if she has any questions.

What kind of winter coat should I take to Germany?
What kind of winter coat should I take to Germany?
I am going to be an exchange student in Germany next year for a whole year. I need to buy a new winter coat that will keep me warm through the super cold winter and I want suggestions. What kind of winterwear do German teenagers wear? I care a lot about fashion as well. Does anyone have any suggestions about good brand names?

Not sure of the brand name, but a traditional burka should serve you well.
2 :
German people wear jeans and top like americans or english people, the winters arent that cold, but public transport is so reliable and so warm in the winter, a heavy jacket would do in the winter
3 :
Depends where and when you're going. If you are going to be hiking in mountainous area, I would take a thick windbreaker with a fleece inside, and one with animal fur around the edges of the hood to keep you face warm (Real animal fur is much more expensive but really helps!). Otherwise, you can take any well insulated coat. Once it gets cold, the style really doesn't matter. Keeping you fingers turns into a higher priority than trying to look cute. Trust me. :)

I wouldn't buy a parka unless your going to stay in the mountains or country. A regular winter coat you would wear here will work.Maybe one of those pea coats. You can always wear a sweater or hoodie underneath it also. It's a cute look and you'll stay warm.
5 :
it really depends on region you are planning to go. there can be easily minus degrees. so lot of people wear down jackets/coats or woolen coats. and its not about the looks if its freeeeeezing!

Trying to find a friend from 40 years ago He was an exchange student from Germany. Please help.?
Trying to find a friend from 40 years ago He was an exchange student from Germany. Please help.?
I've tried the international people finder and people search, but do not know what I am doing. He lived with my family for a year. His name is Hans Hass. He actually graduated from St. Marys of Redford in Detroit Michigan in 1961. Hans went to the prom with a girl who was also an exchange student. After graduation he and I traveled Europe together by train and shoe leather. Hans had an older sister who lived in Germany. Hans talked about becoming a teacher. He went on vacation with my family to California and back in 1961. His father's name was George (owned a bedspread shop). This address is over 40 years old : Vorgebrigst 62, Germany Bonn 53 a/HR. My name is Tim. Any suggestions on finding someone in Germany would be appreciated. I just don't know how to do this. I have a address correction thanks to Liz. Vorgebirgsstr. 62, D-53119 Bonn Germany. Great! I need to ask, is the D-53119 a post code?
