What we’re about
This group is operated by the Dallas Goethe Center (1/1/20) and offers programs and activities for those who are interested in promoting German language and culture. We hope to bring “ein bißchen Heimatgefühl” to North Texas, and provide you with the opportunity to share your love for the German culture and language “bei deutscher Gemütlichkeit”.
If you would like to brush up your German or learn it for the first time, we offer classes throughout the Metroplex, in Arlington/Fort Worth, Dallas and Denton. We recognize the close relationship between culture and language learning. We therefore give our students the opportunity to meet native speakers and other people who share an interest in fostering an appreciation for German language, culture, and traditions. Studying German with us offers students much more than an ordinary language program. They will become members of a community.

See all- Film Discussion Transit (2018)Link visible for attendees
Transit is a 2018 German drama film written and directed by Christian Petzold. The film follows a refugee (Franz Rogowski) who impersonates a dead writer in an attempt to flee a fascist state.
In 1942, Georg attempts to flee France, after its invasion by the Nazis. He assumes the identity of a dead author, but soon finds himself stuck in Marseilles, where he falls in love with Maria, a young woman searching for her missing husband.
Transit is a free adaptation of Anna Seghers' novel of the same name (1944) about the fate of refugees from the Nazi regime who hope for passage overseas by ship in Marseille before the Germans invade the city. Director Christian Petzold plays with the time periods in a subtle way by setting the adaptation in the 1940s in terms of dialogue and plot but using contemporary costumes and locations.
