I am 38 years old, but I have had an affinity with the Balkans, especially Albania and Kosovo, for decades, even though I have no family connection to it. I sometimes joke that I have been to Albania five times, but never to Paris. Consequently, I spent three weeks in Albania last year to learn Albanian: I applied for educational leave from my job as a social worker and added a short holiday thereafter - so that I could use my limited Albanian skills straight away.I first became aware of Kosovo mainly from news reports in the 1990s, the unrest in the Balkans and the associated refugee movements to German-speaking countries. I remember when Albania took part in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 2004. My sister-in-law, who is of Bulgarian descent, told me at the time that Albania was the most isolated, the wildest and poorest country on the Balkan peninsula, and that it was not easy to travel there, not least because you would not understand the language at all.Since I always had a soft spot for the unusual, the supposedly unpopular, the "exotic", I started to become fascinated by the country, the people of the Balkans in general and the languages. First I had to find out about the individual nations, some countries that had only just formed or become independent during that time. Since I come from southern Germany and was often in Austria on the border to Slovenia, the step to the Balkans was not so far-fetched on several levels. When I didn't know what to do after graduating from high school in 2006, I really wanted to learn a language in the meantime until I knew where I wanted to go professionally. I enrolled in Slavic studies at university, I learned about the history of the Slavic (language) area and attended a language course for Serbian/Croatian. Learning a new language, in this case Slavic, was really challenging at first. Many of my fellow students were of Slavic descent themselves and therefore found it easier than I did.
