What happens when a parent get transferred abroad and the whole family packs up to move to a completely different language and culture? Third Culture Kids are people who grow up and spend their formative years in a culture other than that of their parents. Their experience is one of travel, adventure and multi-culturalisim, but with the flip side of often lacking that grounding feeling of "home" that so much of us take for granted. Risa is here to share with us her story as a TCK, a fascinating journey around the world.

Let's go into the German-speaking world and the broader question of "how does language, culture, and society impact our multipotentialite identity?" We discuss the deficiencies of the German educational curriculum and the shocking class sizes that render individual attention from teachers impossible. Of course, the efficiency and pointedness of German can also help define terms and concepts that otherwise come across as a little too passive and vague in English. So can we find the best of multiple languages?
