Deutch and ME
Hi! everybody…very unusual eh? Before you guys jump into conclusions let me clear things out. Am Sindhu, a friend of thilak’s, also a occasional author here. Since he left to bangalore, I take over for one post
Frankly am not a techie, So you can very well predict that am not going to post something hi-fi.
Am pursuing my graduation in computers since this year. As an addition to my future resume I’ve taken up german language course, I’d rather prefer calling it Deutsch (pronounced as Doish). My teacher Sumanth Premkumar, a jovial lady talks to us in deutsch, just so that we become familiar with its usage, this inspired me to look up the net for more material to expand my vocabulary. And I found some interesting web pages and information.
Top on my list is BBC Languages’s German section. The simplicty of the approach towards learning and presentation of the matter is very appealing. Plus they even offer mp3 format audio files of the phrases taught. BBC also offers Deutsch Plus, a interactive page on basics in spoken german.
Next really informative site is Dw-world, has news and clippings about everything and anything Deutsch!
Plus, they have their own Dw-radio station. On the same line is German Culture, a more homely sort of site expertising in german cusine and beer. And of course our own wikipedia has all we could ask for here.
The german embassy page had the usual boring political news, but a cute feature they offered was the page for Germany for Kids and of course everyone as well
the pages are simple and colorful with easy to read short informative text. the subpages explaining how is a everyday german life are the best. To see how much germany has influenced our world is truly amazing!
I saved up the best for the last, Facts about Germany. Yet again a easy to navigate site, with very well written articles. They talk about all things german under the sun.
