My Wonderful Classmates

Jorjoh — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:13:11 +0000

I must admit I was a bit nervous when I first came to the deutschakademie. You see we are a mixed class from different nations and varying age groups. However there was no need for my nervousness as not only do i have a wonderful teacher who immediately made me feel comfortable and gives me every opportunity to practice my deutsch. I aslo have the most wonderful classmates. Never have I seen such a more functional group where people take time to help one another and no one gets impatient when someone is a bit slow to understand. Every other day we go for coffee to one of the very many cafes near the deutschakademie were we practice more of the deutsch by speaking it amongst ourselves. I appluade the deutschakademie for grouping students so well. Now I have friends from nine different countries. I can always go to Greece and know that Eva will be there to show me around for example. Anna from Brazil is the one that showed me all the shopping wonderplaces in Munich.

Wohin mit dem Geld

While still on the topic of money - have you ever been to a bank in a german speaking country just didnt know how to explain what you want. Well you are not the only one it has happened to me several times. As a result one of the things I made quite sure my at the deutschakademie thaught me were the words to use for financial transactions. He gave me six of these :

überweisen -transfer
abheben - withdraw
einzahlen - deposit
kündigen - close an account
eröffnen - open an account
überziehen -overdraft

Geldscheine und Münzen

I like the books used at the Deutschakademie. I find them very interesting as you do not only learn german gramma but also the culture, a bit of history and of course my hobby shopping. Serkan my teacher also tells us a lot about the history and tradition. At least 15 minutes is dedicated every lesson only for this purpose. One of such lessons was about the money in Europe and I found it very educative as I have been leaving in Austria for about two years and didnot even notice. So did you know that the Euro notes in all the European union countries are the same but not the coins. Sie haben zwar die gleiche Zahlenseite, aber auf den Rückseite haben sie unterschiedliche Motive.The German one and two Euro coins for example has the Bundesadler whereas the Austrian one Euro coin has the head of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And what do you think is on the Austrian two Euro coin? Guess! and while you are still guessing please take a look and compare all the other coins its very interesting.

Macht Geld Glücklich?

Part of the reason why I did the deutsch course at deutschakademie was so that I could learn and master the Präteritum. I was not dissapointed. You see included in my tourism course at my Uni is a german language class every week and last semester I am ashamed to say I failed the test on präteritum big time:(. Anyway my point -my teacher at my university will be very happy with me this semester and to prove it I just completed this exercise from my book and for the first time my friend did not have to correct me. Its a story about Elisabeth and Heinz Konsalik

Sie waren beide arm. Sie heiateten 1949. Er heiß damals Heinz Günther, war 28 Jahre alt, schickte Manuskripte an Verlage und bekam sie alle wieder zurück. Sie war Lehrerin. Von ihren 236 DM im Monat lebten sie beide. Mit seinem Besteller ‘Der Arzt von Stalingrad’ Wurde sie reich. Das Geld machte ihn glücklich, sie nicht. Er verleiß sie 1991 nach 43 Jahren Ehe. Sie die Villa und 28 500 DM pro Monat

German course in Salzburg!? Just take a train to Munich ;)

Jorjoh — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:01:34 +0000

I guess you must have read this many times but I just want to say it one more time - I love the Deutschakademie!! For me it is so good i actually come from Salzburg everyday just to attend the German course here in Munich. Everyday I go back home to Salzburg feeling very satisfied. Not only because I feel I have learnt some new and useful German after the three hour lesson but because I know I can always go shopping right after classes. You see I am a shopaholic lol. I just love shopping and the Deutschakademie is located right at the heart of a shopping paradise in Munich. First of all it is very close to the Hauptbahnof so one can get easy and fast train connection from Salzburg to Munich. One can also just cross the street to the other side where you will find shops like H & M; C & A etc. And if you also love food like me then you are at the right place for your course because there is the Burger king, McDonalds, Vinzenzmur and a lot of other eating outlets in the near. So learning German in Salzburg is possible - if you go to Munich by train

148 out of 160

Alla — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:57:52 +0000

Today was the last day in Deutsch Akademie 1A course . First we received the results of our writing test, and my results were pretty good- 148 points out of 160, so I was in a good mood! Later on we decided to go somewhere to celebrate the results and the end of our course. We went to the Marienplatz and chose a place, which everyone seem to like. It was not only leisure, but a german practice as well. We had to order drinks and food on our selves. At the same time we were talking about our home countries. We discussed our traditions and cultures, as well as eatings and drinks.The atmosphere was very warm and friendly. During the studying time we really got much closer to each other.I didn’t expect this trip at the end of the course, but however I found it useful and I’ve enjoyed it!Thank you, Deutsch Akademie!

Münchner Freiheit

Münchner Freiheit is another outstanding example of how creative the engineers can be! In my opinion this racy and full of contrasts structure deserves an engineering Grammy. Both the outer and the underground parts are filled with surprises- the mirror ceiling, the blue columns, which get illuminated by blue LED’s, the ground construction of the tram stop, which looks like an UFO… all these ingredients make the U-Bahn station Münchner Freiheit look very unusual and controversial. I’ve been to Munich for about 2 months and during this time I have seen so many spectacular things, including buildings and architectural masterpieces, that I can say for sure – Munich is a place you can live nice and enjoy your staying!

Highlight Towers

Alla — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:44:29 +0000

I took U-6 and decided to start my weekend training at Alte- Heide. I was jogging in the district Milbertshofen am Hart. I was very surprised when I saw a sky-scratcher on my way. I have to admit, that there are not so many things, which can divert me, while I’m jogging. However this was one of them. So I stopped… I took a slow walk around to discover the building. It is amazing and effective picture. It is massive and at the same time very elegant. I think it hangs on the fully glazed mirror- facades and sharp corners, which makes this giant look “slim fit”. Only later at home, when I’ve reached the internet, I found out that it is an office building, called Highlight Towers.Taking into account, that Munich for approximately 80% consists of old buildings, there should be many opponents of this building. Candidly my first reaction was the same. But later I found this building very interesting, unusual and even nice… and it is interesting exactly because of the fact, that all other buildings in Munich are classical and not that “screamy”. I love the irregular architecture!

To all the ice cream lovers!

Alla — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:31:45 +0000

During the last hot summer days I discoverd my deep passion for the ice cream. There are lots of ice cream stations in Munich, which offer all possible variations of ice cream, including such exclusive tastes like grapefruit, snickers, cookies, litchi, passion fruit, grape, papaya etc. However my favorite taste is mango. It is not that fat as for instance strawberry, tastes like a real mango fruit and is very freshen. You have to try it. It’s delicious!

Berg in Olimpia Park

img_0697.JPG When You will visit the Olympia Park, try to find the additional strength in yourself and spend 30 minutes more by climbing to the viewpoint, from which opens a wonderful panorama over the whole Munich. If the weather is good you are able to see even the Alps! At the same time the best sightviews of Munich can`t hide from you. The most popular Munich tourist locations are only a look away from you: BMW Welt, BMW Museum, BMW Office, Allianz Arena, Frauenkirche and many other places. The breathtaking view on the roofs of the Olympia Park buildings is unforgettable. These glazed constructions look like sails and seems to simply hang in the air… This panorama is a “must have” for the visitor of Munich city!
