Im Februar hieß es für den Deutschkurs „Alle Mann an Deck“...

29/2/2024

It was ‘all hands on deck’ in February for the German class.  Horst was unable to attend the first three classes, however was keen for the group to come together to welcome and work with the new class members.  Week 2 began with sharing of introductions and migration stories.  Horst emailed video suggestions which Bev screened for the class who also suggested ideas and resources.  A segment suggested by Sigi (Lin) on Vegetables in Week 3 was followed by a video of recipe for Kartoffelsalat (Potato Salad) in German.  New members Irina, Meg and Patricia have a smattering of German and were able to follow along.. Sigi also demonstrated skill in using the whiteboard in a segment on the German Alphabet. Retired meteorologist Graham was just the right person to present a segment on weather to start Lesson 4, after a very warm welcome to Horst on his return.  Horst then eased back in to his role in a segment on pronunciation and conversation. This was followed by a presentation and Q&A session in German by Lou Sigmund on his recent overseas trip  Thank you, Lou.  The session ended happily with ‘Coffee, Cake and Conversation’ in the kitchen to celebrate Horst’s return!

​Im Februar hieß es für den Deutschkurs „alle Mann an Deck“. Horst konnte nicht an den ersten drei Kursen teilnehmen, wollte jedoch, dass die Gruppe zusammenkam, um die neuen Kursteilnehmer willkommen zu heißen und mit ihnen zusammenzuarbeiten. Woche 2 begann mit dem Austausch von Vorstellungen und Migrationsgeschichten. Horst schickte Videovorschläge per E-Mail, die Bev für die Klasse überprüfte, die auch Ideen und Ressourcen vorschlug. Auf einen von Sigi (Lin) vorgeschlagenen Abschnitt zum Thema Gemüse in Woche 3 folgte ein Video mit einem Rezept für Kartoffelsalat (Kartoffelsalat) auf Deutsch. Die neuen Mitglieder Irina, Meg und Patricia sprechen ein wenig Deutsch und konnten mithalten. Sigi zeigte auch Geschick im Umgang mit dem Whiteboard in einem Abschnitt über das deutsche Alphabet. Der pensionierte Meteorologe Graham war genau die richtige Person, um zu Beginn der vierten Lektion einen Abschnitt über das Wetter zu halten, nachdem er Horst bei seiner Rückkehr sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen hatte. Anschließend widmete sich Horst in einem Abschnitt über Aussprache und Konversation wieder seiner Rolle. Es folgte eine Präsentation und eine Frage-und-Antwort-Runde auf Deutsch von Lou Sigmund über seine jüngste Auslandsreise. Danke, Lou. Die Sitzung endete glücklich mit „Kaffee, Kuchen und Gespräch“ in der Küche, um Horsts Rückkehr zu feiern!

Hallo Freunde, Ich möchte nicht, dass ihr noch weitere Sitzungen verpasst. Ich bitte euch mit den Neulingen bekannt zu werden und fragt sie, was ihr Niveau in der deutschen Sprache ist. Dann bitte teilt euch in Gruppen. Anfänger mit Fortgeschrittene und sprecht so viel deutsch wie möglich oder tested Zahlen und Zeit und erzählt über eure Januar Ferienerlenisse.               

Hello friends, I don't want you to miss any more sessions. I would like to ask you to get to know the newcomers and ask them what their level of German is. Then please divide into groups. Beginners with advanced and speak as much German as possible or test  numbers and time.and talk to each other about all your January holiday adventures.

    Are you interested in learning or improving your German?

    Perhaps your parents spoke German, you're married to a German speaker, or you enjoyed learning the language at school and want to build on that foundation.  Maybe you grew up in Germany, have children living there, or have an ear for the language.  Whatever your reason for wanting to learn, we invite you to join our German classes, where we'll help you improve your speaking, listening, and comprehension skills.

    ​All levels are welcome!  During the first 30 minutes of each class, a special session for beginners and less confident learners, mentored by more advanced class members, will be held.​
