Language & Culture

Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher Atmosphäre zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige Gespräche und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr über die russische Kultur zu erfahren. Die Teilnehmenden des Sprachklubs werden die Rolle sozialer Netzwerke im modernen Leben und ihre persönliche Haltung dazu diskutieren. Es wird darüber gesprochen, wie soziale Netzwerke als Instrument für Einkommen und Selbstverwirklichung dienen können, indem sie die eigene Tätigkeit einem breiten Publikum präsentieren. Gleichzeitig werden die Risiken ihrer Nutzung thematisiert: Abhängigkeit, Verlust der Privatsphäre, Vergleich mit anderen. Die Gäste des Abends haben die Möglichkeit, sich auszumalen, wie ein ideales soziales Netzwerk aussehen könnte, das sie selbst gerne nutzen würden. Die Teilnehmenden erwarten nicht nur Diskussionen über aktuelle Probleme, sondern auch kreative Aufgaben, die helfen, gewohnte digitale Plattformen aus einer neuen Perspektive zu betrachten.

Ojala verte este jueves!**

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|
