UNAM students Martha Shilongo and Lihongeni Trasisu reflect on their enriching two-month stay in Freiburg, Germany, as part of a cultural exchange program to prepare them for future German language education roles. From mistaken first-class train adventures to navigating European cities, they share humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations on cultural diversity, academic excellence, and the challenges of homesickness. Their experience embodies the spirit of UNAM's commitment to internationalisation, global citizenship, and immersive learning.
