A Few Ideas for more and better German in your Life!
1. Enjoy language learning and have fun with the language. You can create a whole new persona for yourself in the foreign language. Be playful and creative in ways that contribute to everyone’s pleasure and learning experience.
2. Stay in touch with other classmates by phone or e-mail and study together outside of class. Students in study groups often do very well.
3. See German movies in theaters or on video. Video stores and online services like Netflix have them. Also check your library for holdings (the Media Center in D. H. Hill Library has a nice collection; find out what your campus library offers!) A few good ones to start with are: Lola rennt/Run, Lola, run; Die weisse Rose/The White Rose; Das schreckliche Mädchen/The Nasty Girl; Das Versprechen/The Promise, this one by director Margarethe von Trotta; Good-bye Lenin. Ask your instructor or local professor for more suggestions.
Listen to German radio stations on the internet! A list of them can be found here: http://www.multilingualbooks.com/online-radio-german.html.
4. Participate in a German Club, if your university has one (find out locally). We have our own club at NC State and then there is one in the Triangle. The NC State German Club / DeutschKlub has weekly Stammtisch (conversation) meetings; parties; film viewings; hikes; and other activities. It is free and you can attend as many or as few events as you like. You’ll meet other students of German and also usually a few exchange students from the German-speaking countries. Check out their website at http://www4.ncsu.edu/%7Enbuch/dk/. Contact faculty advisor Ralph Jones, re35rjje@us.ibm.com for more information.
The German-Austrian-Swiss Club of the Triangle (GAST) can be checked out at http://www.orgsites.com/nc/gast. They have monthly meetings and other activities.
5. Consider going for a German Minor. At NC State, you’ll need only five courses: FLG 201, 202, and three courses at the FLG 300 level. For more details, see the German Section Web Page at http://sasw.chass.ncsu.edu/fl/german/ or contact the German Section Coordinator, Helga G. Braunbeck, 515-9320, Helga_Braunbeck@ncsu.edu. Find out about requirements at your own institution!
6. Transform yourself by studying abroad! International experience is an invaluable asset in today’s global job market. NC-State has a large number of opportunities available, some with stipends, ranging from a five week summer program to a full year abroad. Your German does not have to be perfect for this. The Study Abroad Office (2118 Pullen Hall, 515-2087, http://studyabroad.ncsu.edu/ has more information. Check out their programs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland by using the links on the German Section webpage at http://sasw.chass.ncsu.edu/fl/german/ . Especially nice are NC-State’s summer program in Vienna, Austria, and the exchange program between the UNC system and the state of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany for a semester or a year abroad, check out the links on the German Section web page: http://sasw.chass.ncsu.edu/fl/german/. This program is available to students from the any university in the UNC system. NC-State advisor for UNC-EP is the German Section Coordinator, Helga G. Braunbeck. Also talk to your instructor, to fellow students who’ve been abroad, and to students from a German Club to learn more!
