| Comments | I started learning German because I happened to pass the German language department, but I went to Germany twice when I was an undergraduate student. I have been interested in German education since my undergraduate years, and when I was a graduate student, I took a half-year German teacher training course at Goethe-Institut in Munich. I came to Hiroshima University after working at the Goethe-Institut Osaka for 7 years. I'm still having a lot of fun and difficulty of teaching German.I want everyone who studies German at Hiroshima University to not only learn German and German culture, history, and society, but also improve their reading and communication skills in Japanese and foreign languages. |
