Hallo, Leute! I'm Spencer and I am a German major here at Texas State. I have been learning German for the last 6 or 7 years, and now I'm also studying Russian here at the University. I am excited to keep learning German, as well as other languages as the years go by. I've been to Germany twice now, with my most recent visit being a faculty-led study abroad trip to Munich. I am very passionate about language learning, and I would love for y'all to stop by if you need help with anything German.

Guten Tag, y’all! I’m Piper! I am a senior double majoring in German and Political Science. I have been studying German at Texas State for two years and I recently attended a faculty-led study abroad program in Munich, so I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned with all of you! Please stop by for homework and study help or come by to practice chatting auf Deutsch!

Hallo! My name is Trace. I'm a double major in German and International Business. I love learning and chatting about languages, especially German! I have been studying German for about 4 years and just returned from the faculty-led study abroad program in Munich. I also participated in the study abroad program in Vienna last summer. I'm excited to share what I've learned and help out with all things German!

Hallo! My name is Zac, and I am a double major in German and Vocal Performance. I have been singing German for 8 years and studying it for 3. Through being a teacher in SPARK and assistant director of the German play, I have learned that I am passionate about helping others learn German! This year I visited Munich and Salzburg for the second time, and Vienna for the first time. I love everything about German culture and want to share my passion with my fellow students.

Joci Tidey

Hallo, alle! I'm Joci, a senior here at TXST and your local non-German German Girl! After co-teaching through the SPARK program and assisting Dr. Siwak in our Munich study abroad program, I can confidently say I want to go into education in some form. I am now entering my sixth year of learning German and have visited Germany multiple times. I would ✨LOVE✨ for y'all to stop by, for any grammar review or homework help, but also just to chat about your past, present, and future in German! 
P.S - As Delta Phi Alpha President, I also hold our German Library, with books auf Deutsch for all levels!
