Here are some:

1. Do you think it's better now that Germany is one unified country instead of East and West?

2. Is it true that Germany is the most Americanized nation in Europe?

3. I cannot imagine not being allowed to leave my country for any reason. How did the East Germans live like this for so many years up until 1989?

4. Do most Germans speak English and how well? At what age do they train the children to speak English?

5. In what countries is German the main language spoken (besides Germany)?

6. What is more difficult to learn from a English speaking person's perspective? Spanish, French, or German?

7. Are the Pennsylvania Dutch people really Dutch?

8. How many Walmarts do they have in Germany?

9. What's the coolest city in Germany?

10. There is a place in Pennsylvania called "East Berlin". Any similarity to the one in Germany?

What might be of interest for both of you is reflecting on your prejudices / clichees: Ask her what ideas about your country she had and if she found them to be true or false (you might learn something about your own culture yourself) and test your own ideas about Germany on her (I am German and have never worn a "Dirndl", don't like beer and couldn't care less about soccer, for example).
But if she is your tutor hopefully she will have something prepared for you and if not discuss topics you are both interested in for a next session - this way you can prepare vocab and get this problem out of the way so you can focus on grammar / pronunciation etc.

actually herm, east germans were allowed to travel to other places, but the east german gov't was very strict and if you did not return when you were supposed to and the gov knew you bailed, your family would face consequences..

there are always a lot of interesting questions that you could ask one of a different nationality.

Ask about something you are really interested in.

If it is sports ask about sports.
Maybe a topic of the current news
- They are discussing to forbit alcohol to people under 18, because of so much drunken kids.
- They are discussing about non-smoking restaurants and bars.

If you are interested in politics or the differences in the social system, aks her about that...

There are a lot of differences that would be interesting to discover.

It really depends on your relationship and how open-minded you and her are.

Enjoy it!

You could ask him/her if they have ever been in Berlin while the wall was still up and then if they have been there since it is gone.

What definetly could keep a convestation going is questions about the World Cup, the German Bundesliga..just soccer in general...we love to talk about that...also you could ask about funny stories written in the Bild Zeitung which is the best comedy magazin in Germany, (calls itself newspaper tough).

Anything about the Autobahn, Audi, Porsche, VW, BMW, or Mercedes Benz. Also ask about Germans views on environmental control.
