German Intensive A1.2: Winter in Berlin - cancelled
About
Streetlife – Experience and Discover Berlin
"Berliners are unfriendly, reckless, rude, and bossy; Berlin is repugnant, loud, dirty, and grey. There are construction sites and clogged roads wherever you look – but I feel sorry for all people who cannot live here!" Anneliese Bödecker
Get to know Berlin, its art, culture, and people directly on the streets of Berlin and see what makes Berlin so special. In communicative situations, we will move through the city while practising our German at the same time. On the street, we will discover Berlin's alternative and creative side through graffiti and street performances. We will also experience the intercultural and culinary side of Berlin at the Markthalle 9 in Berlin-Kreuzberg. (Excursions: visit to Markthalle 9 in Berlin-Kreuzberg, visit to the Urban Nation Museum For Contemporary Art, et al.)
