Hallo! Willkommen! My name is Jessica Nagle and I am the German teacher at CMS. This is my third year teaching German in the West Windsor-Plainsboro School District and I love it! I am originally from Pennsylvania, but decided to call New Jersey home after attending Rider University in Lawrenceville. After college I had the amazing opportunity to live abroad during a Fulbright Scholarship. I was a teaching assistant in Graz, Austria, which has become like a second home to me, as I also studied abroad there. It was an excellent way for me to learn first-hand about the culture and to eat all of the delicious foods!
Why take German? (Besides being able to understand the culture more and to make travelling in Europe easier)
