Native Speaker Teaching Assistants 2009/2010
Catherine Ehm
Hi,
I am Catherine the German TA for the coming year.
In Germany I live in a small village in the Saarland (next to the French
boarder) that is located about 150 miles from Frankfurt am Main. I study
at the University of the Saarland, in Saarbrücken which is also the
capital of the Saarland. My majors are French, English and educational
sciences, in order to become a teacher.
I will be working with the German 101, 201 and 301 classes this year.
Unfortunately I cannot give all of the 101 tutorials that is why we have
two more tutors -Clara Etzel and Christine Grahl- each of whom will be
responsible for one 101 tutorial. The weekly cultural activity will take
place every Wednesday evening from 7-8 pm in Whitehouse. The language
table is also going to be on Wednesdays from noon to 1pm in upper
Baldwin. Everyone who is interested in German language and culture is
hereby sincerely invited to both!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via email (CME11@albion.edu).
If it is really urgent you can come and see me in Whitehouse, I-Space
room 318.
I wish you all the best for the school year!!!
Catherine
Hi,
ich bin Catherine und die deutsche TA für das kommende Jahr.
Ich komme aus einem kleinen Dorf im Saarland, (direkt neben der
französischen Grenze) das ungefähr 200 km von Frankfurt am Main
entfernt ist. Ich studiere an der Universität des Saarlandes, in
Saarbrücken, der Hauptstadt des Saarlandes. Meine Fächer sind
Französisch, Englisch und Erziehungswissenschaften auf Lehramt für
Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen.
Dieses Jahr werde ich die 101, 201 und 301 Tutorien machen. Doch
leider kann ich nicht alle 101 Tutorien übernehmen, deswegen bekomme
ich Hilfe von Clara Etzel und Christine Grahl, die jeweils ein 101
Tutorium leiten werden. Unsere wöchentliche kulturelle Aktivität
findet jeweils Mittwoch abends von 19-20 Uhr im Whitehouse statt.
Der Sprachtisch ist auch Mittwochs von 12-13 Uhr in Upper Baldwin.
Also wenn ihr Interesse an der deutschen Sprache und/oder Kultur
habt, seid ihr zu beidem herzlichst eingeladen!!!
Falls ihr irgendwelche Fragen an mich habt, könnt ihr mir gerne eine
Email schreiben (CME11@albion.edu) oder in dringenden Fällen einfach
vorbeischauen.

(Whitehouse, I-Space, Nummer 318)
Noch Fragen???!!!
Ich wünsche euch alles gute für das kommende College- Jahr!
Liebe Grüße, Catherine
Fanny Aponte Silva
Hello, my name is Fanny Aponte, I am from
Peru, and I am at Albion College in order to be one of the Spanish
TAs. Because I am very happy to share this experience here with you,
I want to tell you some things about myself.
One of my favorite’s hobbies is to dance.
I most enjoy doing the “Marinera Norteña”. Its origin is from
Northern Peru but is very popular throughout my country. Its
couple’s dance and handkerchiefs are normally used as props.
In addition, I love to eat fruit,
especially “Chirimoya” (Annona cherimolia), since it is sweet and
soft. What I miss most about home is my dog “Gasparin”.
I hope we can meet each other and have a great academic year!

Hola mi nombre es Fanny
Aponte, yo soy de Perú y estoy en Albion College para ser uno de los
TAs en Español. Yo estoy muy contenta de compartir esta experiencia
con ustedes. Por ello, quiero contarles algo sobre mí.
Uno de mis pasatiempos
favoritos, es bailar “Marinera Norteña”. Es una daza típica del
Norte del Perú.
También me encanta comer
fruta, y una de mis favoritas es la “Chirimoya” (Annona
cherimolia), porque es dulce y suave. Una
de las cosas que más extraño de casa, es a mi perro. Su nombre es “Gasparin”.
Por último, espero nos
llevemos bien y podamos, así, aprender uno del otro!

Hello everyone,
I'm a new TA this year and I hope I will meet
as many students as possible. I will describe myself in a few lines to
give you an overview of my personality. I come from a small town, Bailly,
located in the western suburbs of Paris. Bailly is in partnership with
Albion, that is the reason of my coming to the United States. I am 24
years old and I practice club soccer.
I’ve finished my studies and I have a
bachelor’s degree in communication. I would like finding a job in an
advertising agency here in the U.S.
My favorite movies are American History X and
Fight Club. My favorite actor is Edward Norton.
I listen to a lot of rock like Ben Harper,
Lenny Kravitz, U2, The Doors, and The Beatles. I also like drum and bass
and jazz.
My favorite foods are crepes, chacuterie and
croissants.
I enjoy traveling, parties, but also meeting
more people from different backgrounds. I've lived for 4 months in
Madrid in an apartment with 23 roommates from different countries such
as Sweden, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, United States, Chile, and so on.
I hope this short description will give you the desire to know me more.
I hope I have a pleasant stay in your company this year
