My name is Elkin Romero Prieto, I’m graduated from the program Hotel and Tourism Administration at Unicolombo, and I’m going to tell you about my current experience about who is to learn German as foreign language. I always want to learn foreign languages and that is one of my goals in life is learn 5 foreign languages, in my major I had the opportunities to learned English and French but I want to learn a new foreign language this year.
I saw a post in social networks from Casa Cultural Colombo Alemana about an opportunity for study German course a scholarship in exchange for working at the cafeteria for six hours per week; in addition Casa Cultural Colombo Alemana is the place in charge to diffuse German culture in Cartagena, the methodology of teaching the language is dynamic throughout different games. Furthermore they have the support from DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) that is abbreviation in English mean German service of exchange and is the institution in charge for study opportunities in German, Goethe Institute is a world language school for teaching German and besides Casa Cultural Colombo Alemana is the only place in North Cost of Colombia where you can certificate your German level with an international official exam certificate your level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and also have the support from German government.
On the other hand there are free events such as: Kino tag (Cinema day) where you can see movies in German with subtitles in Spanish, Projektag (project day) is a day where you have a completely immersion in the language with a possible situation in real life, literatur in hof (literature in the backyard) where people can talk about the book of the moth but previously you can ask for by email the book in Spanish and German in PDF format, Stammtisch (conversation) hear you can learn the language with table games and have a comfortable conversation, and last Oktoberfest that the most important festival in Germany where you can enjoy the gastronomy from there and some German beers.
