Snow Makes the News.
Due to the inclement weather (who decides what inclement weather is anyway?), the German-language night was cancelled. However, it will be rescheduled for another Tuesday in March.
Did anyone take the time to make a Schneemann? The webmaster and I took our dogs over to campus Monday night during the snowstorm and the campus was rocking! Lots of students were out having snowball fights and whooping it up in the snow.
Planet Deutsch Undergoes Design Change,
Adds New Feature A Berliner in Arkansas.
You may have noticed that the sidebar has several changes. Eb the Webmeister has redesigned the entire site to make it more navigable and accessible to our readers after brainstorming with the German Gruppe: Dr. Dwight Langston, Frau Freddie Freud, and Alex Kranz, a Berliner in Arkansas. Speaking of the Berliner in Arkansas, you can read the latest musings by Alex on his page A Berliner in Arkansas. He would welcome any comments about his story, so please send him a note! His email address follows his story.
Mardi Gras on the Horizon.
The German club, French club, and Spanish club have joined resources to host the Fat Tuesday celebration at the Reynolds Performance Hall balcony area on Tuesday evening, March 4, beginning at 7:00 p.m. All language learners are invited to participate. Wear a costume or a mask and bring a goody to share with everyone.
Who Is
This German Man
in the Language Lab?
We have a special treat for all the German language learners. Alex Kranz, native German speaker and language lab assistant, presents the first of what should be many mini-essays about life and times in Germany and life abroad as an international student at UCA.
Having Alex as part of the German Department not only adds a touch of authenticity to the learning experience, but also provides an invaluable resource. Willkommen Alex!

Wer ist dieser Deutsche?
Hallo! Einige kennen mich aus Freddie Bowles’ Deutschklasse. Aber wer bin ich? Ich möchte mich Euch jetzt vorstellen.
Ich heiße Alexander Kranz und bin 27 Jahre alt. Ich wohne seit 1999 in Berlin und studiere an der Humboldt-Universität. Meine Fächer sind Geschichte, Amerikanistik und Politikwissenschaft.
Ich bin für ein Semester als “native speaker” an der University of Central Arkansas und arbeite im Sprachlabor. Wenn ich nach Berlin zurückkehre, werde ich noch ein Jahr studieren. Dann mache ich meinen Abschluss. Doch erst einmal berichte ich von meiner Vergangenheit.
Ich bin am 12. Oktober 1975 in Lübeck/Schleswig-Holstein geboren. Ich habe eine Schwester: Susanne. Sie ist bereits Mutter von ihren Söhnen Freddy und Ben. Meine Schwester wohnt nicht in Lübeck, sondern in Hamburg. Hamburg ist 60 Kilometer von Lübeck entfernt. Aber meine Eltern wohnen in Lübeck, einer schönen, alten Stadt an der Ostsee.
In Lübeck bin ich bis 1996 zur Schule gegangen. Dann habe ich als Journalist gearbeitet.
Was ich in Berlin mache, erzähle ich nächstes Mal....
