"Hey, what are you doing in Germany?", "How come you can go to Germany?", "Please bring a 'bule' for me!"

Literally, those sentence represent this post's title. Before I start this post, I'll let you know myself first. So, I'm Lewi, an Indonesian girl who currently living in Germany, and I graduate from State University of Medan, Indonesia and my major is German Language Education. That's it and without any further ado, let me start all of this lol.

Some people are dreaming to go abroad, and some people don't. I'm one of those people of dreaming to go abroad. But I decide to set a life goal to go to Germany five years ago, at the end of my first semester in college.

"Well, now your dreams come true, right?"

Yes, I made it to Germany and I've planned to come here by Au-Pair Program a few years ago. You might be wondering what is Au-Pair and maybe for some people it sounds pretty familiar. Au-Pair Program is a form of cooperation of Germany and Indonesia (and other country also). The Au-Pair Program is designed for people who wants to learn German language and the culture, all at once.

The Au-Pair will be live with the local German people, and by living along it'll help you to know better their culture and vice versa of course. The fun part is you'll be fully-funded by the Government. You'll got a monthly Taschengeld and also a supported money for your language course. Yep, you'll have an opportunity to go to a language course to master the language.

So, you are fully-funded, you also have an opportunity to live with local family, attend a language course, what's the feedback for the family?

In my opinion, it's all about give and take. By living in their home, you can help them with the house chores and take care of their children when the parents are busy and not at home. But, the duty time is only 6 hours/day. You're not a house maid and have to do it all day. Remember it.

So, are you interested to join the Au-Pair Program?
