This time, we’d like to go way back:
While most of the books and podcast tips we share are up-to-date or the latest releases, we thought we’d travel back in time – for the nostalgia. Let’s take you back to the nineties and talk about this gem among the young adult books – and no, not everything was trashy back then. 🙂

Our teacher Robert has gone to great lengths to write an informed and informative book review for our students. In this article, he introduces you to the book „Yesterday’s World,“ an autobiographical work by the well-known Austrian author Stefan Zweig (1881-1942).
If you want to learn more about German-language literature of the early 20th century, it is impossible to avoid this author and his work.
Who would have thought – a TV show on German television that is about a non-binary teenager? This time, we’d like to draw your attention to „Becoming Charlie“. Laura watched it, loved it and would like to encourage you to give it a try. 🌈
This might sound all too familiar: You were trying to read some real German literature, but then quickly find out that the book you bought is too difficult for you.

You are still looking for something to read for your next afternoon at Wannsee? Good news: our teacher Freya has kindly shared reading tips with us. She is enjoying her holiday in Normandy where she also had the time to do some reading and tell us about it.
The last social event of 2024 brought a group of students to the christmas market in Nikolaiviertel. This market stands out because it’s located in one of the very few historical quarters of Berlin and because it’s so cozy.
At Transmitter, we mostly teach German and make sure things run smoothly in our classrooms. However, sometimes we just hang out together and have a good time.
On December 17th and 19th, we will host a special workshop which combines learning German with movement. Our workshop is meant to reach haptic learners in particular, who enjoy learning most when they can get active themselves. This is the second part of our experimental workshop we hosted earlier this year.
Before the year ends and we all take a little break from learning, we would like to invite you to our last social event for 2024! Call it a cliché: it’ll be a christmas market visit.
Our good times expert Katja has scouted markets for you to create a great experience.
