Wondering about the language..hehe..this is my first lesson in German(Deutsch)!
This morning at 7.30 I registered for my class and I had been waiting in the Seminar hall at Goethe Institut,MAX MUELLER BHAVAN .The seminar hall looks compact and cozy with an ambience of Beethoven Symphony.20 people were sitting with me and around 8.05 a soft-spoken middle-aged(in late 50s) man entered the hall screaming guten morgen!guten morgen!(GoodMorning in German)...
His Name is Sundararajan..one will wonder his appearnce for sure.He wears a cap and will never take it off(even the seniors havent seen him w/o cap) and has A HITLER MOUSTACHE !yeah!the first class is about..learning how a german behaves...so on and hmmmm very intersting as well..herr Sundar has a gr8 accent in deutsch and he just speaks as a native German !
The class was awesome and no-one will left out of speaking the language..Just a great experience in a day!The class timing is 8-12 with two breaks in between :)
A gut Nose Cut :
After the first break,when the hot german session was going on..Our lehrer(teacher) gave all a small article written in some unknown language...He said its obvious all couldnt understand it completly..but just go through it once .hmmmm..
we were all with an atmost curiosity in decoding the text and i thought how weird script this German has??...3 minutes passed...all decoded the script very vaguely and its abt an athlete who had broken someone's record in a marathon race at Chicago!
Sundar sir was lecturing about the differences when a child learns a language and we people learning the same..After finishing it ..he stepped on and gave a fact about the article we read...We were blemished...Because the text we decoded isnt a DEUTSCH but its a POLINISH after all...sounds funny huh..all thought its a german!...was funny and .we were all blushing and grinning....LOL...BLOW ME DOWN !!!!
The next thing is we have to sing a song in German..which tells the native speaker that im a foreigner so make your German flow slower ..if not i might not understand what you sais...hehe...Good.....Sing and learn! A real good time in the class...German looks like English but the thing is stress and the pronounciations...does counts here a lot! we have to pronounce it louder to get the proper pronounciation...hmm...ok..A very good first day in deed...will finish the blog here !cheers!
