German language

As a matter of fact, Languages are regarded to have the ability of controlling human thoughts and world perception. Actually language developed by people as a way of communication. Languages affected thought during the different ages. Gender is regarded as linguistic instrument to do this purpose. Some studies showed that although Spanish and German speakers have the same words with identical referents assigned different genders in the respective languages evoke different ideas in their perceptions. Regarding the notion of gender either masculine or feminine one can say that genders automatically shape the awareness of objects such as keys or bridges characteristic of the attributes associated with gender. Actually, it can be said that modern linguists distinguish among lexical, morphological, and semantic approaches to justify gender's role.Also, it can be said that language affect the way people think and perceive the world around them . Gender is regarded as sociocultural part of the linguistic system. Actually, it is considered as an instrument that creates a…

gonna be writing about is the German Club. I chose this organization because my heritage is almost complete German and throughout the past couple years I have been interested in learning the German language, learning their history from all the way back to when the country was first realized to all the way to present day and most of all just really getting to know what my heritage is about. The German club is the perfect club because in it they teach all about Germany from its language, culture…

a new record in Germany. This toy was a 3-inch Martin Luther released for the 2017 celebration of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther’s relevance is strange since he was living in the early 16th century and his actions are long removed from the German Nation today. But because of his Church, his Bible and his political use, Martin Luther seems synonymous with German nationalism and specifically that of early 19th century Germany. During the Protestant reformation Martin Luther stood…

In the late1990's the United States was merely a remote location on my bucket list. I never thought I would someday live here. During my adolescent years in Germany I always dreamed of getting a college education, although no one in my family had done so. Looking back, I wish I would have had more guidance as how to continue after high school. Initially I wanted to apply at an art school, but the student career counselor had told me the application deadline for admission had already expired. An…

Eventually, with every experience we shared like touring Berlin, kayaking in Potsdam, and going to an amusement park in Soltau we became a little closer. By the end of the two weeks the only obstacle that continuously reminded us that we were from different “places” of the world was language. Louisa’s mother and one of her sisters were not too fluent in their English and unfortunately I hardly speak a word of German. We had to rely on Louisa as a translator in order to have an effective…

Although she learned German at a fairly young age, she picked up the Austrian dialect; so she had to retrain her brain and mouth to think and speak independently of what she already knew. It is one thing to know the language inside and out, but it is a completely different thing to teach it to high schoolers in a way that makes sense. I only got to spend one full academic year with Frau before she decided that her family took precedence over her career. She spent almost thirty years dedicated to…

races that lived in the United States such an German, Italian, Irish. Therefore, if the government want to get their money to pay for the war, they have to bring all the people together, make them become one, become American. In my opinion, this is a good step in America. In a short term, they could use the Americanization to solve their problems, which was about money, got their supports. In a long term, it makes the United States more diverse than ever before. Diversity in races, cultures, and…

One word: Natzis! I 'm joking! I ended up right in the middle of...let 's say German land USA. Both, where I lived and where I worked. I was just very shocked how they took things so personal and how much I had to walk on eggshells with these people. Not only that, but they would be very nosey with your life and would try to punish you if you didn 't meet their standards. I think they were just looking for an excuse to take their frustrations out on someone. Only later did I find out…

look at my last name and ponder at its origin. The name “Misel” is also an Americanized variant of “Maisel,” the name adopted by my forefathers when they immigrated to this land. Despite my German surname and heritage, there is little German about me. I no longer have any connections to the country of my origin and have had little exposure to German culture and traditions. When offered the opportunity to learn German in high school, I chose Spanish instead -- a language that I viewed as more…

With their new found productive skills, they started to invent. A German man, by the name of Johannes Gutenberg, invented the printing press. The German goldsmith's fifteenth century commitment to the innovation of technology was revolutionary. This empowered books to be made in mass productions and allowed fast distribution of learning all through Europe. Nonetheless, the historical backdrop of printing starts much sooner than Gutenberg's breakthrough. Gutenberg’s idea was never to replace the…
