I Liebe Germany

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Try connecting with the Goethe Institut and you’ll liebe Germany too.  KMC was invited to the Goethe Institut in DC for a blogger happy hour, introducing us to their German cultural and language programs. Now I can say “Mein name ist Herr K, ich liebe meinen planeten!”

One of the great things about DC is that almost the entire world is represented here to some degree. But few countries make the effort that Germany does via Goethe. With ongoing airing of German films and a robust offering of German language courses, the Institut does all it can to engage with the city and spread the liebe of German culture. The really interesting thing about Goethe is the worldwide network it has with offices in 92 countries.  How many other cultures have such an organization dedicated to spreading the language and cultural understanding? So if you’re planning a trip to Germany and want to do some prep work, this is as good a quality training as you can get. And if you’re not near one of their offices, they offer great online training as well.  If you visit, you can also grab a handful of some their great buttons :-)      Bis zum nächsten mal, Welt!
