Beer Seminar in Bamberg
Found this innovative offer for a beer seminar on facebook a few minutes ago.
What a practical idea to combine German language learners with a topic of interest! Studying plain German grammar can make you wish you were in heaven already, but this seminar is about beer and other beer related trivia, therefore you will be much more engaged.
After the third beer tasting, the dative case will be a closed chapter in your life and who cares about adjective declinations anyway…
Seriously, this is a wonderful way to polish your German while in Franconia. Every three kilometers, you will run into a brewery around this area. There are 10 breweries in Bamberg alone and almost 100 in the surrounding area.
A good level of basic German is recommended (level B1 or more)

Quick lesson in Human Relations
The following mini-lesson titled “Capsule Course in Human Relations”, I found tucked away in an old book from a previous trip to the U.S.A. The article might have been originally published by Forbes Magazine in the 1950s.
Five most important words: I AM PROUD OF YOU.
Four most important words: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
Three most important words: IF YOU PLEASE.
Two most important words: THANK YOU.
Least important word: I.
I am proud of you for wanting to improve your relations. What is your opinion of this mini-lesson? Print it out and put it on your fridge, if you please. Thank you.
