SCHMETTERLING







































Two sad things about this post: 1, all of this happens all the time. And 2, I don't know that much people here in Berlin .__.

  1. Hi Fran! Just discovered your blog through Essie Button :) Your illustrations are incredible! I swear, I'm even bad at drawing stick figures....that's how horrible I am haha.
    This post stood out to me because 10 years ago I moved here to Switzerland with my family and had to learn German from knowing absolutely NOTHING and I totally know how you feel in the comic! And funny thing is, I speak fluent German (and Swiss-German) now and I have a boyfriend who is Serbian-Bosnian and whenever I'm with a group of them who are speaking Serbian, I DON'T GET THE JOKE EITHER! Ugh, languages are tough. But I'm here if you need a friend in this German-speaking mess :)

  2. Hey, I also just discovered you through Estée and let me tell you girl, I admire your courage to come to the great nation of Germany and having to learn our hard language! Since I'm a Berlin Girl myself, just in case you need someone to maybe help you out from time to time or anything, be free to mail me, i'd be glad to do so! Also, don't be intimidated by us Berlin people - we may present ourselves a bit ignorant and rude at first, but most of us aren't that bad once you get to know us. ;)

  3. Te acabo de descubrir a través de Essie Button y tu trabajo me encanta! He visto en una de tus entradas que buscas tiendas de „art supplies“ Hay una que se llama Modulor en la que se pueden encontrar cosas con muy buenos precios, se encuentra en Moritzplatz (apenas sales de la estación) en toda una esquina.
    Ahí me gusta ir a hacer window shopping y a veces salgo con una que otra acuarela. Con respecto a lo del idioma, te entiendo, pero cuando menos te des cuenta vas a estar hablando. Si necesitas ayuda o alguién para tomarte un café de vez en cuando, aquí tienes una peruano-alemana en Berlín que con gusto te hecharía una mano.

  4. Gib nicht auf! Deutsch ist zwar sehr kompliziert aber ich bin mir sicher, dass Du es lernen wirst und viele Freunde findest. Immerhin bist du in Berlin, eine großartige Stadt! Deine Illustrationen sind sehr schön, ich hoffe, dass ich eines Tages auch so gut zeichnen kann wie Du. Kopf hoch, du packst das! Liebe Grüße, Miri xx
