My name is Anne Drake. I was born and raised in Wertheim, Germany. After meeting and falling in love with an American soldier who was stationed near my hometown, I moved to the United States where we got married. We have six children, five boys and one girl. After my children went to school, I pursued my dream of becoming a teacher. I have been teaching German for 15 years. It brings me so much joy to be able to teach my native language and to share with students various aspects of the German culture.
