Would you like to know what life is like in the home of the German language for someone who grew up with a different language? Stories about words and grammatical peculiarities provide answers to questions about relationships that contain intercultural relevance. For example: Does "herrlich" actually originate from "Herr" and "damlich" from "Dame"? Why is it "der Junge" but "das Madchen"? And what should one make of the fact that in spoken German the future tense is hardly ever used? This book is for all language lovers, be they either native or non-native speakers, who live with the German language and don't wish to remain speechless. German description: Haben Sie Lust auf eine unkonventionelle Auseinandersetzung mit dem Deutschen als Fremdsprache, erzahlt im Rahmen einer Beziehungsgeschichte? Mochten Sie wissen, wie es sich im Haus der deutschen Sprache lebt, wenn man selbst aus einem anderen Sprachraum kommt? Wortgeschichten und grammatische Besonderheiten geben Antwort auf Beziehungsfragen mit interkultureller Relevanz. Zum Beispiel: Stammt "herrlich" tatsachlich von "Herr" ab und "damlich" von "Dame"? Oder: Warum heisst es "der Junge", aber "das Madchen"? Und was ist davon zu halten, dass im gesprochenen Deutsch die Zeitform Futur I kaum gebraucht wird? Fur alle Sprachenliebhaber, Mutter- wie Nichtmuttersprachler, die mit der deutschen Sprache leben und nicht sprachlos bleiben wollen.
