Reden wir darüber – Forschung, Sprache, Gemeinschaft: A Successful Semester

The Study Group "Reden wir darüber – Forschung, Sprache, Gemeinschaft" has successfully concluded! During the winter semester 2025/26, we created a space where seven international doctoral researchers not only learned German, but lived it.

What We Achieved

Throughout the semester, all seven participants presented their research projects in German and shared their experiences in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. The feedback demonstrates how valuable this experience was for everyone involved:

"Everyone in the group was very patient."

"The course leaders and fellow students who were stronger in German always supported me patiently, which significantly boosted my motivation. Moreover, it was very enriching to gain insights into different research projects and thus broaden my horizons."

"I would say that I really enjoyed the program. It was a wonderful opportunity to practice my German in a practical way and also to hear the ideas of my other colleagues at BGHS."

What Made This Study Group Special

What distinguished this group was its ease and mutual respect. In a relaxed atmosphere without performance pressure, all participants could grow – regardless of their language level. Mistakes were not only allowed but welcomed as part of the learning process.

We thank all seven doctoral researchers for their commitment, openness, and courage in presenting their research in German.

The Study Group "Reden wir darüber" has shown that language is not just a tool – it is a bridge between people, projects, and communities. We look forward to continuing this initiative!
