My Experience with German in vellammal engg

I was teaching German for 1 year in vellammal engineering college and for six months i served as a guest faculty.It was interesting that i was the junior most person ever in the history of vellammal.I was just 21.It was a strange feeling that many students to whom i taught were actually older than me.


I found few of my school juniors also in 2005-2009 batch.Let me share with the interesting moments.

a.Students wanted to talk in German from day one.I was taken aback, they have learnt english from their 1st grade.Even after 12 years still they find it difficult to converse fluently but with German they want that to happen on day one.

b.while learning interpreting equivalents in english.
where are you going? to Chennai
Wohin fahren sie? nach Chennai. so to their understanding is nach means to which will turn wild in different conversations.

c.Students asked me curiously whats "I love India" in German.Hope you can understand for what its intended to.Probably to replace india with indira,induja so on..........


d.They tried with deutamil,deutlish,deutelugu.now please don't stare at your monitor.Deutamil is combination of Tamil and Deutsch and so on.


e.Reading  kőnnen as kannan,using kuchen as Küchen etc
