German Learning Session

Exclusively for our members:

Fancy a chance to practise the cool new German vocabulary you have learnt?
Wish to ace your incoming German oral examination?
If you answered ‘Ja!’ to any one of the above, this is the event for you!

The NUS Students' German Society is proud to present the latest ‘German Learning Session’:

Date: 30 September 2010, Thursday
Time: 7:30 - 9:30 PM
Venue: Yusof Ishak House (YIH) Training Room 2

This is your opportunity to mingle with fluent speakers of the German language and in the process improve your fluency in the German language. You will also get to learn new vocabulary, polish up your grammar and benefit from our scenario-based practices where you can learn how to use the German language in the various situations, which will aid you in your exam preparations.

Send us an email at frag.mal.uns@gmail.com should you have any questions to ask!

Event Happenings in September

The NUS Students' German Language Society has been involved in two events so far, since the start of the new academic year (2010-2011) this August.

The first, German Day, held on 8 September 2010, was a collaboration with the German Embassy in Singapore, the Goethe-Institut, the DAAD, the German European School, as well as the NUS International Office and Centre for Language Studies. The NUS Students' German Language Society was involved in the NUS Students' German Choir and several of the German games booths and quizzes.

Here are some photographs taken on that day, in case you happened to miss out on the action!

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I would just like to say a big Thank You to all of you who helped out for German Day! I had a lot of fun, and I am sure you did too, (especially those people who won 50 000 Euros in cash=) Thank you for all your hard work, be it coming faithfully for practices, coming down at 9 am to set up the benches, mounting the photos and captions, or simply being so enthusiastic and participating in all the games and quizzes. This is only the start of the semester, and it has been brilliant so far. The German Society looks forward to all of your support for our next few events too!

To thank you for all of your hard work, the German Society is warmly inviting all of you to Stammtisch on Thursday. In case you didn't get to try pretzels and german sausages at German Day because you were simply too busy running around, we will specially prepare German food and drinks for all of you. You can also look forward to games and get to know the other members of the club as well.

We hope to see you on Thursday at the Arts Canteen at 7.30 pm. Bis dann!

Regards
Rachel Tan
President
The German Society
