Movie Screening: "Das Leben der Anderen"

Hallo Mitglieder!

The German Society is organizing yet another event just for you! For those who contributed to the success of Stammtisch and SEP Sharing Session, a BIG THANK YOU!

This time round, we will be having a German Movie Screening Session!

Date: 27th October '09 (Tuesday), 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Venue: NUS Library Lecture Theatrette 2
Movie Title: “Das Leben der Anderen”.

Here is the summary:
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's movie debut focuses on the horrifying, sometimes unintentionally funny system of observation in the former East Germany. In the early 1980s, the successful dramatist Georg Dreyman and his longtime companion Christa-Maria Sieland, a popular actress, are big intellectual stars in the socialist state, although they secretly don't always think loyal to the party line. One day, the Minister of Culture becomes interested in Christa, so the secret service agent Wiesler is instructed to observe and sound out the couple, but their life fascinates him more and more.

Those who are interested, please RSVP by sending us an email to frag.mal.uns@gmail.com.
Please also try to be punctual so that we will be able to start the movie on time!
On behalf of the German Society, we thank you once again, and we hope to see you next Tuesday!

Stammtisch: Oktoberfest 19th Oct '09

Hallo zusammen!

Yesterday we had our very first Stammtisch of the year in conjunction with the Oktoberfest!
Taking place at Munchie Monkeys, we were provided with various delicious German Foods such as Schintzel and Bratwurst, served with French fries and accompanied by beer!
We also had a surprise Birthday celebration, although a day late, for our Vice-President Wei Ting!!
With such good food and very fun people, it goes without saying that we all enjoyed ourselves very much! In fact, to our surprise, everyone was soooooo busy socializing, that we hardly had time to play any of the many card and board games prepared for the event! (before MM chased us out at 10pm)





We hope those of you who came down had an enjoyable evening and thanks for making this event a success! As for those who could not make it this time, do come and join us for future events! =)


Please check out the DDS Facebook group for more photos!! THANKS!

Stammtisch & SEP Sharing Session

Hallo Mitglieder!

The German Society is organizing 2 back-to-back activities just for you! For those who attended our German Learning Session, we hope that you had an enriching time.

This time round, we will conduct 2 events, held on 2 consecutive days in Week 10 of this Academic Year. The details are as follows:-

1) Stammtisch. What is it? For those who are learning German 1, you might be able to recognise "Tisch", but are still clueless on what is it. For those taking higher level German, you might know what it is, but have you experienced it in Germany yet?

Fret not! Because the German Language Society will be having our Annual Stammtisch, held in Munchie Monkey! So what is Stammtisch exactly? It is not easily translated into English but it means something like "regular's table" or "regular get-together". So what do you do? You sit together and basically, you talk about anything you want. Of course, conversation goes hand in hand with food. So it will be an exciting time where you get to meet fellow members and talk about, basically anything! We will be having German Food as well, with a DJ on hand to play some music whilst the event is being carried out!

However, please note that this event is strictly for members only. If you are a non-member, you can sign up for membership when you come. Freshies pay $10, while the rest pay $8. Before you come, please RSVP by emailing us @ frag.mal.uns@gmail.com with your name, and also indicate if you are a beer drinker. Once again, the summarized details are as follows:-

Event: Stammtisch
Date: 19 October 2009, Monday
Time: 730pm to 930pm
Venue: Munchie Monkey
Note: We have reserved limited places. So please do RSVP as soon as possible! Please indicate your name and whether you are a beer drinker in your email to us.



2) The German Society is organizing a SEP/Immersion Sharing Session! We have invited students who have gone for exchanges and immersions to Germany to share their experiences. We will be giving advice on administrative matters and also be answering any queries about the SEP and Immersion! Also, we will be providing German food and drinks for the event. Please do come down to attend and support us! It is a great opportunity if you are considering going for an immersion or exchange. You can drop us an email at frag.mal.uns@gmail.com if you have queries. We would appreciate it if you could RSVP. See you there!

Event: SEP/Immersion Sharing Session
Date: 20 October 2009, Tuesday
Time: 730pm to 930pm

On behalf of the German Language Society, we hope to see you there! =)
