<p>14.042.789 Leute (Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene) lernen laut aktuellen Informationen vom Netzwerk Deutsch weltweit Deutsch. Das ist weniger als vor 5 Jahren, aber die Tendenz ist steigend &#8211; und somit als positives Zeichen zu sehen. Der Grund für die Abnahme&#8230;<span id="more-83"></span>&#8230;ist darin zu sehen, dass in immer mehr ehemaligen Ostblockstaaten Englisch zur Nummer eins Fremdsprache geworden ist. Trotzdem hat Deutsch als Fremdsprache im Zeitalter der Globalisierung aufgrund der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Bedeutung Deutschlands weiter gute Chancen.</p>
<p>14.042.789 aktuelle Deutschlerner plus die, die schon Deutsch (sprechen) können plus Sprachkursteilnehmer an den Goethe-Instituten, die man nicht erfasst hat.</p>
<p>Besonders gut sieht es für Deutsch im Kindergarten und in der Vorschule aus. Dieses &#8220;window of opportunity&#8221; nutzen viele Eltern und schicken ihre Kleinen in eine Sprachschule, die sich auf frühkindliche Pädagogik spezialisiert hat. Auch wir bieten Kurse nicht nur Kurse für Jugendliche und Erwachsene an, sondern auch für kleine Kinder.  Sprechen Sie uns an!</p>

<p>Es müsste eigentlich eher die &#8220;Wörter der letzten vier Tage&#8221; heißen &#8211; so ist das zumindest bei uns in der Sitebar rechts eingestellt. Schauen Sie also rechts, klicken Sie drauf und Sie werden zur <a href="http://www.duden.de">Duden-Seite</a> weitergeleitet, wo Sie eine Erklärung auf Deutsch finden. Fehlt eigentlich nur noch die Vertonung, dann wäre es perfekt.</p>

			<a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.germanconnect.us%2Fblog%2F2009%2F10%2Fwickie-und-die-starken-manner%2F"><br />

<p>Aus aktuellem Anlass: Der Kinofilm &#8220;Wickie und die starken Männer&#8221; von Regisseur Michael &#8220;Bully&#8221; Herbig wurde gerade mit der &#8220;Goldenen Leinwand&#8221; ausgezeichnet. Grund genug für mich an den Zeichentrickklassiker der Siebziger Jahre zu erinnern, mit dem alles begann. In der Originalbesetzung  -natürlich- mit Wickie, der einäugigen Vaterfigur und gleichzeitig Anführer namens Halvar, der immer zuerst handelt und dann denkt, Ulme, das Pendant zum Barden Troubadix bei Asterix, sowie dem Erzfeind, der schreckliche Sven, der keine Gelegenheit auslässt, die Wikinger von Flake zu überfallen, um sie auszurauben.<br />
<span id="more-68"></span></p>
<p>Für den Film suchte der Regisseur einem Bericht von focus.de zufolge in Deutschland nach starken Wikingern, oder solche, die dafür durchgehen würden und fand 18 Kandidaten, die es in 6 darauf folgende Ausscheidungsshows schafften.  Gedreht wurde der Film laut Stuttgarter Zeitung dann auch nicht in Norwegen, sondern in am Walchensee in Oberbayern, der schon als Kulisse für zwei andere Wikinger-Filme diente. <a href="http://bit.ly/1kz3UX"> </p>
<p>Kinder werden sowohl die Fernsehserie als auch den Film zum Deutschlernen mögen. Die Serie zeichnet sich durch viele charaktertypische Phrasen aus wie beispielsweise Wickies &#8220;Ich hab´ wieder mal´ne Idee&#8221; und Snorres &#8220;Moment! Ich bin erstens nicht dafür und zweitens dagegen!&#8221; aus.</p>

<p>How can you effectively learn German? Here are our tips:</p>
<p>- look for a qualified, experienced teacher and work with native speakers only<br />
- dedicate some time for German everyday<br />
- use the internet to listen to and watch authentic and up-to-date materials<br />
- join a group of learners for motivational purposes<br />
- look for a tandem partner in Germany (a person who lives in a German speaking country and  wants to learn your mother tongue) and start exchanging e-mails<br />
<span id="more-57"></span></p>
<p>- use Skype, Ning (our network is called Deutschnetzwerk: http://deutschnetzwerk.ning.com) or Second Life to meet other learners and native speakers</p>
<p>- take classes to advance your skills</p>
<p>- watch German movies in o-tone</p>
<p>- make plans to travel to Germany or to study in Germany</p>
<p>- look for free online exercises that will help you with grammar and vocabulary (coming soon on GermanConnect)</p>
<p>- learn German with books from German editors as they teach the language as if you were there</p>
