## Resource

In this episode from our archives, we chat with expat, author, and vlogger Dana Newman, an American living in Germany. Dana moved to Europe back in 2008, first to Prague, then later to Munich, where she married a German and still lives today. On her YouTube channel, Wanted Adventure , Dana talks about her experiences living abroad in general and living in Germany in particular, including the culture, the food, the traditions, and, of course, mastering the German language. (The infamously difficult-to-learn German language! Do you know how many ways there are to say "the" in German? We don't either, but it's a lot.) In fact, the German language is the subject of Dana's book. The full title of the book contains some German, so we'll let Dana tell you the whole thing, but the first part is Y ou Go Me on the Cookie! , a literal English translation of a German expression. Find Dana on Instagram here or here . *** The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!
