Beta Reader needed for a YA Work-in-Progress

[Rhea]

I am looking for beta readers who can help me with my first novel Kicks and Stones. It's a work-in-progress as mentioned and I would appreciate a group of people that would guide me through grammar, cliches, stuff like that. The story is in a Third Person's POV. Here is a little synopsis of sorts:

"Amanda Douglas has had enough. She's done with her pathetic ex - the one she just can't forget try as she may - and has decided to give up her job as a sports journalist in Chicago and take it up in The Munich Times.She has no idea how she's going to survive in the country with absolutely no base for the language or the culture at all, but what she does know is that if she likes her new environment, then Germany ain't gonna stop her from living right there."


I'd like say-it-like-it-is Beta Readers that have some knowledge about Germans, the language, the culture since it would help me in research. Of course, since Kicks and Stones is still in progress, a dose of encouragement and guides along the way are highly appreciated :)

Thanks!

Rhea

I don't know much about the language, my boyfriend's mother is 100 percent German and he speaks German fluently, if he had the time I'd ask him, but he's super busy, but I do have a suggestion for the language part there's a translation app, maybe that could be useful.

I will read it for you, being german living in Germany, being fluent in german and english I am sure I can help you out.
One the traits we germans have, we always say it like it is. Well I do anyway. Known for my boody honesty :)

You have to be careful with those though, they will not translate 100%. My friend uses one when she wants to write me in german and it just makes me giggle, as what the outcome it.

Erin, Id appreciate if you sent me the name of the app...the translations right now might be giggle-worthy too :)

I have a question already: This is YA but the protagonist is a sports journalist? So she has a 'career'?
Please don't be upset by my mentioning that. :((
