I don't really know what drew me to German tbh, I studied Germany as a topic for Modern History last year but it wasn't my favourite topic?? I've always been interested in learning languages though, and when I was bothered with duolingo I did German and it seemed like a pretty cool language... I don't know why I'm interested in learning German 😂
As for the overseas placement, I originally wanted to go to Austria because *aesthetic* but the exchange unis for my course weren't in the capital city, and then my mum was like "If you're learning German you may as well go to the country the language originated from" so that helped with the decision making. Is there any country that interests you, or you haven't been to? Or even cities? Try looking in the exchange section of your uni's website and maybe choose some you would like to do an exchange :-) I found that really hyped up the whole thing and helped me decide too. I hope this helps!

I studied Dutch on duolingo for a while so the Netherlands would make sense. My nanna was born there and I know I've got relatives but I've never interacted with them and don't feel a strong connection to the country.
I've been offered chances to go overseas before due to school and scouts but never took them as passports require both parents' approval.
I know I'm least interested in the US and the UK (I want a bit more cultural change than that) but Monash just has enough partner universities that looking at the list was a bit overwhelming. That gives me an idea though - maybe I should print it out and annotate it.
Thankyou for your advice! :)

No worries :-) Go with your instincts for where you want to go. Just curious, have you been overseas before?

Yes!!! I studied German for two days and I thought that the language was complicated yet very interesting.
Where in Germany do you plan on going to for your exchange? Do you have to go to the capital city? I've been to both Bonn and Cologne and it's so beautiful. Can't wait for your updates in Germany ;)

Hahaha yay!! I don't know, I'm hoping Berlin because #history, but going to the capital city depends on which uni you choose to exchange to – if it's in the capital then you go there I guess ahaha. Germany is so beautiful (judging from pictures) so I'm super excited!! Yeeeesss get keen for the updates, only 2 more years to go 😅
