On this week's episode of The Publisher Podcast by Media Voices, we hear from Paul Ostwald, co-founder of Morningcrunch, a German-language media brand aimed at young professionals. Since launching in summer 2023, they've grown to the point that their newsletters now go out to over 50,000 young professionals every morning. Morningcrunch is ad-funded, and Paul explains how he's working with a German media house to bring in bigger deals.

Learning a new language is always a challenge. What helps is so-called cultural immersion, i.e. complete immersion in the culture of the language. DAAD lecturer at Melbourne University Andreas Wiebel did this with 17 of his students. They spent three weeks in Tübingen, Berlin and Buckow - and they worked through a full program. - Eine neue Sprache lernen ist immer eine Herausforderung. Was dabei hilft, ist die so genannte kulturelle Immersion, also das vollständige Eintauchen in die Kultur der Sprache. Das hat der DAAD-Dozent der Melbourne University Andreas Wiebel mit 17 seiner Studierenden gemacht. Drei Wochen lang waren sie in Tübingen, Berlin und Buckow - mit einem vollen Programm im Gepäck.

Walter Benjamin born in 1892 was a German Jewish philosopher and cultural critic. Renowned for his essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," he explored the impact of mass media on art and culture. Benjamin, associated with the Frankfurt School, engaged deeply with Marxist theory and surrealism. His works often blended philosophy, literary criticism, and historical analysis, reflecting a unique interdisciplinary approach. Fleeing the Nazis, Benjamin died by suicide 1940 at the Spanish-French border, leaving an influential legacy in critical theory and cultural studies. In this presentation, we delve into the ethical and political dimensions of Walter Benjamin's curated selection of private letters from the nineteenth-century archives. Initially published in a daily newspaper in 1930 and later compiled into the book "German Men and Women" during his exile in France in 1936, Benjamin's strategic dissemination of these letters, accompanied by commentaries, serves as a focal point for analysis. In this episode of BIC Talks, Professor of German Language and Literature, Columbia University, Dorothea von Mücke, unravels the nuances of Benjamin's publication strategies, illustrating how they offer alternatives to the construction of a national character. The following discussion between Prof. von Mücke and author and translator Prashant Keshavmuthy particularly emphasises Benjamin's intervention in the political philosophy of history, exploring how his approach informs our quest to perceive, model, and document humaneness in behaviour and character. This is an extract from an in-person session that took place in December 2023 at the BIC premises. Subscribe to the BIC Talks Podcast on your favourite podcast app!

How'd you say in German: “How did you acquire the German language?”?

In tonight's episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I bring you along on a remarkable journey to Greenland, a trip ignited by my rediscovered passion for photography. This adventure began in a small workshop in Singapore, where I connected with Han and Charmaine, two inspiring photographers. Their breathtaking Instagram shots of Greenland's icy landscapes captivated me, leading to an impromptu decision to join their expedition. This marked my very first foray into the Arctic, a striking contrast from Singapore's tropical climate. Greenland welcomed us with its stunning icebergs and vibrantly colored houses, offering a photographer's paradise. Despite unforeseen challenges like cancelled flights and unexpected accommodations, the experience was filled with thrilling firsts. From witnessing the awe-inspiring northern lights to exploring glaciers, and even tasting local delicacies like whale blubber and seal, the journey was an incredible blend of natural wonder and cultural exploration. The raw beauty of Greenland, the camaraderie formed, and the exhilaration of capturing its essence through my lens made for an unforgettable expedition. As this Greenlandic adventure concludes, I'm left reflecting on the unique, breathtaking landscapes and the profound experiences that will linger in my memory.

The German language has been losing ground in Australia for some time now. According to the latest statistics, the total number of German learners in Australia remains constant at around 100,000, but since 2000, the number of German students at Australian universities has been in constant decline. The subjects of German Studies in particular are experiencing record declines. The number of German classes offered in schools has even halved since 2010. SBS reporter Daniel Georgakos spoke to Andreas Wiebel, DAAD Lecturer at Melbourne University, to better understand the reasons for the German language crisis in Australia. - Die deutsche Sprache in Australien verliert seit einiger Zeit immer mehr an Stellenwert. Die Gesamtanzahl der Deutschlernenden in Australien liegt den aktuellsten Statistiken zufolge zwar konstant bei rund 100.000, doch seit der Jahrtausendwende gehen die Zahlen der Deutsch-Studierenden an australischen Universitäten konstant zurück. Insbesondere die Studienfächer Germanistik (German Studies) beklagen Rückgänge im Rekordtempo. Das Angebot an Deutschunterricht an Schulen hat sich seit 2010 sogar halbiert. Um die Gründe der Krise der deutschen Sprache in Australien besser zu verstehen, hat SBS Reporter Daniel Georgakos mit dem DAAD-Lektor der Melbourne University, Andreas Wiebel, gesprochen.

If you got feedback or a nice comment, please write to: learngermanwithculture@web.de .   Transkript: In der heutigen Episode geht es um Musik in Deutschland. Spoiler: Am Ende der Episode gibt es auch eine Warnung vor bestimmter Musik in Deutschland. In Deutschland gibt es viel Musik. Nach einer verlässlichen Quelle ist Deutschland der drittgrößte Musikmarkt der Welt. Also wird in Deutschland viel Musik produziert und verkauft. Außerdem wird in Deutschland viel Musik gemacht. Viele Laien machen Musik. Zum Beispiel singen Sie in einem Chor oder sie spielen in einer Band oder einem Orchester. Es gibt sehr viele Theater und Orchester in Deutschland. Es gibt auch sehr viele professionelle Musiker in Deutschland. Es gibt über 100, 000 professionelle Musiker in Deutschland. Diese Musiker verdienen ihr Geld mit der Musik. Aber warum gibt es so viele professionelle Musiker in Deutschland? In Deutschland ist die Kultur und die Musik sehr wichtig. Die Kultur und die Musik hat eine hohe Bedeutung für die Menschen in Deutschland. Viele Städte und Gemeinden fördern daher Theater-, Orchester- oder Musikveranstaltungen. Die Gemeinden geben Geld für Kultur und Musikveranstaltungen aus. Im Sommer gibt es in vielen deutschen Städten kostenlose Kultur und Musikveranstaltungen. Außerdem ist Deutschland sehr bekannt für die Geschichte der klassischen Musik. Früher gab es sehr berühmte Komponisten. Welche bekannten Komponisten gab es in Deutschland zum Beispiel? Sehr bekannte Komponisten waren zum Beispiel Johann Sebastian Bach oder Ludwig van Beethoven. Kennst du Mozart? Mozart ist auch ein sehr bekannter Komponist. Allerdings war Mozart Österreicher, also nicht deutscher. Knapp vorbei ist aber auch daneben. Das ist ein deutsches Sprichwort. Aber es gibt natürlich auch viele aktuelle deutsche Musik und aktuelle deutsche Musiker. Diese Musiker sind momentan sehr bekannt. Sie werden von vielen Menschen gehört. Eine sehr beliebte Musikrichtung in Deutschland ist Schlagermusik. Viele Deutsche, vor allem vom Land, also Menschen, die nicht in der Stadt wohnen. Diese Leute mögen Schlagermusik. Und hier kommt die Warnung. Meine persönliche Meinung: Schlagermusik ist schrecklich. Diese Musik ist wirklich nicht gut, also Vorsicht. Aber du kannst sie dir natürlich anhören und dir deine eigene Meinung bilden. Viele Menschen in Deutschland hören die Schlagermusik beim Feiern und Sie trinken viel Alkohol dabei. Meine persönliche Meinung: Man braucht sehr viel Alkohol, um Schlagermusik auszuhalten. Eine sehr bekannte deutsche Schlagersängerin ist Helene Fischer. Es gibt natürlich noch viele andere Musikrichtungen, viele andere Musik in Deutschland, zum Beispiel Pop, Rock oder Hip-Hop. Davon erzähle ich dir aber in einer anderen Episode. Music: Olexy, summer walk.

After graduating with double degrees in International Relations: Language & Society and German Language, Heather Hansen moved abroad and began working in global environments while speaking a foreign language. She quickly began to notice that speaking English afforded her a certain level of respect, power and privilege that wasn't necessarily given to second language speakers – particularly to those who weren't as proficient or intelligible in English. As Founder, Author and TedX Speaker at Global Speech Academy, Heather joins us on this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast to talk about microinequities related to language and accent in international teams and how to build UNMUTED cultures where every voice is heard.

Digital humanities are a hot topic nowadays, but what about digital linguistics? How can digital language data be used in other areas of research? To tackle these complex questions, we invited Prof. Andreas Witt and Dr. Darja Fišer to talk to us about De Gruyter's new series “Digital Linguistics” and its first volume “CLARIN. The Infrastructure for Language Resources,” which the two co-edited. Andreas Witt is Professor of Computational Humanities and Text Technologies at the University of Mannheim and heads the department of Digital Linguistics at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language in Mannheim. Furthermore, he is the series editor of “Digital Linguistics”. Darja Fišer is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana and Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Knowledge Technologies, Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana. She has recently been appointed CLARIN Vice Executive Director. With De Gruyter Acquisitions Editor Svetoslava Antonova Baumann, they talked about their motivation for publishing the book, the use of language data outside of linguistics, as well as the importance of the diversity of languages and language resources for the digital humanities.

Our guest today is Michael Reitz, a Corporate Engineer at Six Flags Amusement Parks. Michael oversees ride design for coasters all across the Six Flags chain. He graduated from the University of Maryland with double majors in Mechanical Engineering and German Language and Literature. Before working at Six Flags, Michael was previously an engineer at Premier Rides and Lego. We know very little about how roller coasters are actually designed, so we’re very excited to learn more about the process. We’re also curious to see how Michael’s career path differs from Kristin Fitzgerald’s, the Marketing Manager at Six Flags Great Adventure whom we talked to previously.

Darren is on location and joined by Nadja Stephens-Mikesch, head of German at Wycliffe College in Gloucestershire, to talk about teaching the German language and to generally geek-out about languages.

The German word "Volk" usually translates as "people," but it means a whole lot more than that. In 1989 as Germans tore down the Berlin Wall, they chanted, "Wir sind das Volk!" ("We are the people!") Today, though, "Volk" no longer unites Germans. Some understand it to mean everyone living in Germany. Others define it along ethnic lines, thereby excluding immigrants. Now with parliamentary elections looming as they did in 2017 when Patrick Cox first reported this, voters are again wondering: Who are the "Volk" of Germany? Who belongs, and who doesn't? Photo by Patrick Cox of German publisher and far-right activist Götz Kubitschek with his wife Ellen Kositza at their home in Schnellroda, Germany.

Diese Sonderausgabe wirft einen Blick auf verschiedene künstlerisch-aktivistische Aktionen im öffentlichen Raum Österreichs: Heidrun Primas, Leiterin des Grazer Forum Stadtpark, ist Mitinitiatorin der "Camps für Moria"; die Künstler Eduard Freudmann und Gin Müller protestieren mit der "Schandwache" gegen ein Denkmal des antisemitischen Wiener Bürgermeisters Karl Lueger; die Bühnenbildnerin Philine Rinnert ist eine zentrale Protagonistin „Der Vielen" in Deutschland.

At around 11am on Thursday 18 February 1943 two students in Munich were arrested for distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets. By Monday they had been interrogated, tried, and executed along with another member of the resistance circle. Further arrests followed. From 15-27 February 2021 the White Rose Project will be following the events as they happened in real time through daily posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This year marks the 78th anniversary of the first White Rose trials. It's also a year when the dates and days of the week coincide. Imagine going about your normal routine on Monday, being arrested on Thursday, being interrogated over the weekend, and going to trial the following Monday morning. At the heart of our week is a live reading of the White Rose's resistance pamphlets, translated from German into English by student members of the White Rose Project. Dr Alex Lloyd (Fellow by Special Election in German, St Edmund Hall) will give a short introduction to the pamphlets. The readers are current and former students and academics, mirroring the membership of the original group: Sophie Caws, Eve Mason, Adam Rebick, Elba Slamecka, Sam Thompson, Amy Wilkinson, and Taylor Professor Emeritus of German Language and Literature, T.J. (Jim) Reed, FBA. The event will open and close with music by the award-winning vocal ensemble SANSARA, recorded on 22 February 2020. This event is supported by The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and the University of Oxford's Public Engagement with Research Seed Fund. It is part of the White Rose Project, a research and public engagement initiative bringing the story of the White Rose resistance circle to English-speaking audiences. Dr Alexandra Lloyd is Fellow by Special Election in German at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. She has published widely on post-war Germany, most recently in her book Childhood, Memory, and the Nation: Young Lives under Nazism in Contemporary German Culture (Legenda, 2020). She is currently a Knowledge Exchange Fellow at TORCH working with the White Rose Foundation in Munich, and is Project Lead on a Public Engagement with Research Seed Fund project, ‘Resistance: The Story of the White Rose', in collaboration with the award-winning vocal ensemble SANSARA. Eve Mason is a final-year student of English and German at the Queen's College, Oxford. Her passion for translation led her to the White Rose Project, where she was one of the original translators of the pamphlets for The White Rose: Reading, Writing, Resistance. She was awarded a prize for German in the Warwick Prize in Undergraduate Translation in 2019 and has gone on to self-publish A String of Pearls: A Collection of Five German Fairy Tales by Women Writers, for which she won the LIDL Year Abroad Project Prize 2019–20. Sophie Caws is a final year student of French and German at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. After taking German as a beginner's language, she now studies modern German literature with Dr Lloyd, with a particular interest in Freudian psychology and the literature of the former GDR. She spent 9 months living in Leipzig, Germany, where she worked as an English Language Assistant with the British Council and a teacher of English as a Second Language. She was also involved in English-language community theatre with English Theatre Leipzig, with the aim of promoting intercultural linguistic and artistic exchange within the Leipzig community and beyond. Sam Thompson is a fourth-year PhD student at King's College London, where he is completing a thesis on Classical Reception in German-language exile literature, 1933-45. Sam previously studied Classics and German at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he also received an MSt in German (with a dissertation on Austrian memory literature). His recent research interests include the work of Bertolt Brecht, Lion Feuchtwanger and Anna Seghers, and Interbellum literature more broadly.

The fourth lecture in the Reconsidering Early Jewish Nationalist Ideologies seminar series. Rose Stair discusses cultural Zionism through a focus on age and gender. This paper examines the construction and mobilization of age categories in the German-language cultural Zionism of the turn of the 20th century. Presenting examples of texts and visual art that employ models and metaphors of different age identities, Rose Stair suggests that age functioned as a conceptual language through which the cultural Zionist community expressed their relationship to the Jewish past and Zionist future. She argues that these conceptions of age cannot be detached from the community's assumptions about gender, meaning that even the metaphorical use of age imagery remained tethered to the social reality of family structures and bourgeois gender roles. Rose Stair is DPhil student in the Theology and Religion faculty at the University of Oxford, and previously studied at the University of Chicago Divinity School. Her doctoral research looks at age and gender in German-language cultural Zionism, and their articulation through textual and visual sources.

My guest of Season 2, episode 3 is Amy Marie Spangler, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Istanbul-based AnatoliaLit Agency. Like several of my previous guests on this podcast, Amy took part in the Jerusalem Book Fair fellowship in which I took part as well, in 2017. A few months later, we started working with AnatoliaLit to represent our list in Turkey, and I'm very happy with our collaboration in this market which does have its challenges. This podcast episode turned out to be a speed-course on the state of the Turkish publishing market. But we also talked about Amy's activities as a translator from Turkish to English, and as an agent representing authors from Turkey and the surrounding regions internationally. One thing Amy pointed out after we recorded our interview, and which she suggested I clarify here, is that the curfew that she mentions is in place in Turkey at the moment, is in fact for weekends only, so it is not applied everyday. Thanks to this interview I learned a lot about Turkish publishing and hope you will, too! Here are some of the questions I asked Amy: What was the state of the Turkish publishing market before the pandemic started? What has happened since the start of the pandemic in terms of book sales in Turkey? Was the publishing world on a standstill at some point this year, and were publication dates postponed? Was there a higher demand for ebooks and audiobooks, as we have seen in other markets? Are there any genres that tend to sell well in Turkey, and others that don't? You also represent a select number of authors, in Turkey as well as internationally, and you translate from Turkish into English. Can you tell us more about those activities? What was the biggest challenge for you when you launched Anatolialit? How did you address this matter? Show Notes Amy's book recommendations: - My Autobiography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland (Tin House, 2020); - Woodcutters by Thomas Bernhard, translated by David McLintock (Vintage Classics, 2019). Amy's and Szilvia Molnar's podcast: I Have to Tell You: The Letters (Also available on podcast feeds). About Amy: Amy Marie Spangler is a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, with B.A. degrees in Near Eastern and Classical Archaeology and German Language and Literature. After four years as rights manager and editor for the Istanbul-based publisher Çitlembik, Spangler left her position to found AnatoliaLit Agency, together with Dilek Akdemir, in 2005. In addition to running AnatoliaLit, Spangler is a translator, primarily from Turkish into English, and has taught in the Translation Studies Departments of Boğaziçi University and Okan University. Her published book translations include Noontime in Yenişehir by Sevgi Soysal (Milet, 2014), Dawn by Selahattin Demirtaş, co-translated with Kate Ferguson (SJP for Hogarth, 2019), and A Strange Woman by Leyla Erbil, co-translated with Nermin Menenemcioğlu (Deep Vellum, forthcoming).

Hey guys! It is Aiko with Schwagirl. I am an American English pronunciation coach. Welcome to my podcast "The Voice of English" Season 2. Season 2 focuses more on communication. In each episode, I bring a guest and he/she will give us tips to become a better communicator as a person who speaks English as a second language. In Episode 25, I invited Maki Takashima who is a British English accent coach based in Japan. Maki Takashima is a British English accent coach, diction coach and translator (English/Japanese, written and spoken). Maki was raised in Tokyo until the age of 15 when she moved to Dusseldorf, Germany, due to her father's work. She then attended a British school for three years where she acquired British English. She has two degrees; one from Sophia University (BA in German Language with Linguistics) and the other from Royal Holloway College, University of London (BS in Physics with Music). After her return to Japan in 1992, Maki worked in Classical Music and many other industries, where she always acted as a translator/interpreter on top of her main role in PR and marketing. In 2004 she became independent and started her own business of English language services; teaching and translating/interpreting. She was also a PR representative for Maestro Seiji Ozawa in the 2000's. In this capacity she dealt with national and international media and travelled extensively with Maestro's projects. Maki is currently based in Tokyo and is known as one of the very few Japanese who can speak and teach British accent, namely RP (Received Pronunciation). She runs her own English language school where she teaches individuals and groups. Her background of music education and singing experience has led her to teach diction to Japan's renowned professional singers, whilst she also enjoys teaching amateur singers and chorus groups. website: https://www.maki-takashima.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/maki.takashima blog: https://ameblo.jp/reginacecilia/ twitter: @makiuk Here is the IPA of the words we talked in the episode Box : West coast American (WA) [ɑ] / Received Pronunciation (RP) [ɒ] Talk : WA [ɑ] / RP [ɔː] Door : American (A) [ɔɹ] / RP [ɔː] Can I have a glass of water? : intonation goes up in A, down in RP Glass, have : A [æ] / RP [ɑː] *RP of glass sounds like "gloss" to American Water : WA [ɑ] / RP [ɔː] Cold/called, hole/hall : WA cold [oʊ] called [ɑ] / RP cold [əʊ] called [ɔ] "ou" sound : A [oʊ] / RP [əʊ] / in General British English [əʊ] (but it sounds slightly different from RP.)
