Think German

As a German specialist I often feel dismayed when I see and hear my first foreign language being sidelined in favour of other languages.


I have therefore been very pleased recently to find out about the Think German website. It's all about raising the profile of German and promoting the learning of German to both adults and children. Even better I am loving the adverts on Real Radio promoting the website stating "Think German, you already speak it!"


In an era where times are hard for us Modern Linguists - particularly we Germanists - it's nice to know that people are promoting languages!


If you haven't aready visited the Think German website, you really should! It's packed full of information about learning German, online German links, quizzes, competitions and ideas for teachers. I've just ordered a the free magazine from UK-German Connection that I'd never come across beforeand hope to be able use it for authentic texts, helping my pupils gain an insight into German youth culture and much, much more! They also have a Facebook page so that you can keep up with what's going on, why not "like" their page and join in.


Go on..."Think German...you already speak it!"
