Online Course: German in the City at Humboldt University Berlin

About

"German in the City" in an online format: In the middle of Germany yet still at home â€“ in this special situation at the present time, we are facing new challenges, especially when it comes to a course that is called â€œGerman in the Cityâ€! How can we give you the experience of German language and culture in Berlin, no matter where you are and no matter how far away you are from Berlin? Therefore, we are working intensively and with a lot of creativity and passion on a solution. Just like in the "real" (in-person) â€œGerman in the Cityâ€ course, we will use a lot of authentic materials, which we will make available to you through digital formats (such as Zoom, screencasts, video lectures, and discussion forums) in order to make you familiar with vocabulary, language structures and cultural discourses of life in Berlin. Here you will meet students from all over the world online. In different countries, on different continents and yet together, you will practice your oral and written German, watch German films and plays together and take part in current social debates. Through a mixture of different sequences with synchronous teaching, instructions for your own research, short presentations and accompanied self-study, we offer you direct access to language, everyday life in Berlin, and key concepts of German culture, history and politics. Berlin is waiting â€“ and we, your digital hosts, are looking forward to seeing you!
