6 + 27 May, 1.30 - 2.30 pm. - Mini sessions: Language meets Culture - Communicating confidently in German

Does this sound familiar? German isn’t your first language, you understand almost everything – and yet you sometimes feel unsure in everyday university life.

When is it appropriate to use “du” and when “Sie”? Why do some people seem so direct? And what’s simply a cultural difference – and what feels personal?

Our mini-workshops give you the space to explore these questions and many more. Together, we look at typical situations from university and daily life, clarify uncertainties, and strengthen your feel for both language and culture.

This is a place to ask questions, try things out, and keep learning – in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

You can join at any time.
Requirement: German language skills at B2/C1 level.

Further dates:  6 May, 27 May, 3 June, 10 June, 24 June
Time: 13:30–14:30
Location: Room A 1.16
