Hannah originally comes from Winchester in the south of England. She has always had a passion for the German language and culture, partly due to her German granddad. She always knew that she wanted to study German and one day live in Germany. During her studies she worked as an English teacher for EADS in Augsburg for a year and very much enjoyed the Bavarian lifestyle. Just weeks after finishing her studies in July 2007, she came back to Germany. This time she decided to experience the northern lifestyle in Hanover, where her German boyfriend lives. In her free time she enjoys meeting up with friends, swimming and exploring the rest of Germany.

Karen Degenhardt

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I spent my first few years there. Unfortunately my family had to move to Germany where I spent most of my youth. After receiving my Masters in Geography in Germany, I decided to move back to the US where I spent several years in the beautiful City of Charleston, South Carolina. As much as I loved it there, I missed my family and came back to Germany. Nowadays my biggest challenge is raising my two year old daughter. Working for WSI in a multicultural, English-speaking environment is just what I’ve been looking for. See you soon in our school.
