After and after I want to now imagine my different projects, now I'm starting with the German Club in the History Workshop to:
meet every Tuesday at 12 clock is usually about 7 older men and women and their teacher in the history of Natasha's workshop to a German club. Some of them have lived for a short time in Germany, for the most part they were during the war, forced laborers in Germany, some have also again later lived in Germany or anywhere else learned German and at the meetings usually a text read and translated and then also learned grammar. Recently we have read parts of Erich Kastner's Emil and the Detectives. At the moment we read Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm. Cinderella's already for German to read sometimes difficult because the language a bit outdated, so it is for students of German, of course, again difficult and often leads to some communication problems, such as "reading lenses" that has nothing to do with the reading of a text has, or that the "rice "Rice is not only the food but also an obsolete form of" sticks ". Since then I am asked most often and have to consider simpler or more common synonyms.
The most beautiful is the German Club for me is always watching the older ladies and gentlemen, among themselves, they can not talk and talk in between, when the other's turn, because they know it, of course, still a little better, or they jabber among themselves rather than listen and then when they turn they do not know where it's our turn to reading, they argue about phrases and words, etc. Sometimes you get the feeling they are worse than school children;). Moreover, they are never at a loss for an answer, for example, has one of the men responded to the task of Natasha, he gives us should not hesitate to call a Minsk Attraction, "I of course," the same Lord welcomes one of his "classmates" again and again in German with "Good day, you scoundrel!". is
After reading and grammar then usually still drank tea and biscuits or bread, or what anyone else has so bring your own eating and talking. Among themselves they always talk in Russian, but to me they always try to speak German and endeavor then that I understand only yes and are always very proud when I assure you to demand that the sentence now correctly was.
Natascha will stop now, however, to lead the German club, but the last two times it was her successor, Iryna. With her I had already thought about the fact that we want to do in the future even more than Germany, individual cities or states, and we have already decided in the next German Club, yes on 9 November will be the topic of the Wall and the 9 to treat November in German history. I have also been the object of one of the participants that I should talk to him a text from a German test and record, so he can listen to it is to learn always, for your MP3 player with all sorts of German lyrics and songs, he is always able ;). I think it's great that he still knows so well with technology and it is definitely not an everyday sight to see one over 70 years old, gray-haired grandfather with MP3 player and earplugs. However, I must now tell me now, my first time dealing with technology, because until now I have no idea how to record the ...
That's now far from the first German club. Another amusing experience I had today in the Metro station Kupalowskaja:
This is the poster for the concert on 3 Sabaton November in Minsk for the yes I already have a card. The spelling of English names in Cyrillic gets me every time you smile, from "Alestorm" will be times "Aljestorm" or "Steelwing" "Stilwing.
