Achtung, Fertig, Los!
On Tuesday, April 22, Der Deutsche Verein will host the last language night in the Mirror Room, McAlister Hall, at 7:00 p.m. The topic will be games. Winners will receive phenomenal prizes!
A Special Report from Germany.
Are you ready for a linguistic challenge? Planet Deutsch welcomes guest writer Jens Hampe, a lawyer from Braunschweig, Germany, who has written a war commentary in German just for our readers. His story, Aus alten Europa, appears in the Lesesaal. Jens was an exchange student at Parkview High School in Little Rock, so he is an honorary Arkansan and "older" son to Frau Bowles.
Gute Reise!
Twelve German aficionados made the trip to Altus on Saturday for the tour and dinner. It was a "heiter Tag," perfect for a leisurely drive through the heart of Arkansas. We found out that the winery was founded by a Swiss German in the mid-1800s and that it was given special permission by the federal government to continue to produce its products for communion and medicinal purposes during Prohibition. Most of us had the German sausage platter, but the Wienerschnitzel and Back Hendel were also popular.
Der Deutsche Verein
Has New Officers.
Congratulations to the new officers for Der Deutsche Verein: President David "Brody" Morledge, Vice-President Lucindy Leland, and Secretary-Treasurer April Guy. Thanks to these hard-working, dedicated German students for helping out with next year's club.
German Club Page
Has a New Look.
Thanks to Elizabeth Bargar and Brooklyn Moffitt for adding a new look to the pages for Der Deutsche Verein. Visit the new UCA German Club site on Planet Deutsch and see how you like it.
Learning Resources Page.
The Learning Resources Page has added more content. These pages are for all German language learners, so take the time to look at the pages.
For the students in German 1320, more Vocabulary Aides are posted in the Vocabulary section of Learning Resources, and for those of you interested in Weimar, the biographical glossary now contains another new entry about Arnold Schönberg. If you want to learn more about the Weimar period, read the introduction to the Weimar Era in the Lesesaal. The links are on the left.
