Tandem Program

The German Language Society is running a Tandem Program this semester!

Interested in improving your German?

Join our Tandem Program! We will match you with a German native speaker or a German speaker of a higher standard if it is possible, and in exchange you will practice with them a language you are fluent in and are offering. All you have to do is provide us with your details.

The following details are needed: Name, Contact, Languages offered (eg. Interested in learning German, offering Chinese), and language proficiency (e.g. German 1/2, A Level Chinese etc). If you are offering German, do state how many tandem partners you would like to have.

Please kindly send us your application by next Friday, 10 September 2010, 2359.

As there might be a shortage of German native speakers and German speakers of higher standards, for students applying to learn German, priority will be given to our members.

We would love to hear from you! If you have any queries, feel free to email us at frag.mal.uns@gmail.com.

Message from the President

Dear students and members, past, present and future,

The new semester holds exciting things in store for the Germany society! As president, I would warmly like to welcome all of you to the German society in AY 2010/2011. The German society holds many activities during the semester, and we are going to kick off the semester with our Welcome Tea, where we will update members on the present activities we have, as well as introduce the core committee and announce our elections for the posts of project directors, editor and liaison officer.

We will be coming down to the German classes during the first week of semester to personally say hi to all of you. The German society has always been a place where students who are interested in aspects of German language and culture get to meet German exchange students, hone their German language ability, as well as interact with the German speaking community in NUS. We look forward to meeting you next week during the welcome tea. We will be posting up details of the welcome tea shortly on the website.

Please feel free to email any enquiries you may have to frag.mal.uns@gmail.com. We are always glad to hear from our members.

Regards,
