Abstract:

Would you like an unconventional approach to German as a foreign language, presented in the form of a love story? Would you like to know what life is like in the home of the German language for someone who grew up with a different language? Stories about words and grammatical peculiarities provide answers to questions about relationships that contain intercultural relevance. For example: Does "herrlich" actually originate from "Herr" and "dämlich" from "Dame"? Why is it "der Junge" but "das Mädchen"? And what should one make of the fact that in spoken German the future tense is hardly ever used? This book is for all language lovers, be they either native or non-native speakers, who live with the German language and don't wish to remain speechless. (Logos Verlag 2014)
