I am interested in life stories. After my professional life as a teacher for German, English and T'ai Chi Chuan and as a psychologist I have now ample time for my hobbies such as painting, paper weaving, singing, playing different instruments and writing. I am learning the Finish language right now, preparing to visit my son in Finland. I grew up in Germany, lived in the US for several years and most of my life in Switzerland. I am curious about the connection between the character of a people and their language.
