 Learn German in a choir

This course is for international researchers and staff who want to improve their pronunciation skills and enjoy singing in a choir. German phonetics is taught in this course in a holistic approach through a creative and interactive support concept that trains pronunciation skills as well as basic vocal physiology aspects. The aim of the course is to learn and develop phonetic skills using German songs and pop songs in the choir. At the same time, polyphonic singing is practiced, which primarily trains listening skills and thus the ability to adapt one's own language production. German learners of all levels are welcome, no previous musical experience is necessary.

The course is free!
