Psychological Advice

To study is a privilege but also an ambitious assignment .

Difficulties with the studies, but also personal, social and health problems can compromise the progress and success of the academic studies.

Ein Studium ist ein Privileg, aber auch eine durchaus anspruchsvolle Aufgabe .

Schwierigkeiten im Studium, aber auch persönliche, gesundheitliche oder soziale Probleme können Verlauf und Erfolg eines Studiums beeinträchtigen.

In 1801 he moved to Aschaffenburg, where he became court doctor to the elector and gave lectures on philosophy and natural history.

He became professor of philosophy and history in 1803, with a special assignment to teach natural philosophy as well.

Until Windischmann was called to the newly founded university in Bonn in 1818, he also held the office of court librarian ( 1811 ) and - under the now Bavarian government - the title of Royal Medical Counsellor.

1801 ging Windischmann nach Aschaffenburg, wo er als Hofmedicus des Kurfürsten arbeitete und zudem an der dortigen Lehranstalt naturhistorische und philosophische Vorlesungen hielt.

1803 wurde er zum Professor für Philosophie und Geschichte ernannt, freilich mit dem besonderen Auftrag , auch Naturphilosophie zu lehren.

Bis Windischmann im Herbst 1818 dem Ruf an die neugegründete Universität in Bonn folgte, hatte er noch das Amt des Hofbibliothekars ( 1811 ) und - durch die mittlerweile bayerische Regierung - den Titel des königlichen Medizinalrates erhalten.

Before long he was asked to work with some of the most innovative architects of his time.

As a result of having received an assignment from Robert Mallet Stevens, he succeeded in gaining a toehold in the inner circle of avant-garde architects, and joined forces with Eugène Beaudouin and Marcel Lods to construct his first technical and functional masterpieces near Paris between 1935 and 1939:

the Roland Garros Aeroplane Club in Buc and the Maison du Peuple in Clichy.

Seine Mitarbeit wurde bald von den innovativsten Architekten seiner Zeit in Anspruch genommen.

Nachdem ihm mit einem Auftrag von Robert Mallet Stevens das Entrée zum engeren Kreis der Architektur-Avantgarde gelang, baute er mit Eugène Beaudouin und Marcel Lods zwischen 1935 bis 1939 nahe Paris seine ersten technischen wie funktionellen Meisterwerke:

den Fliegerclub Roland Garros in Buc und das Maison du Peuple in Clichy.

He owes his first major project to providence :

Roland Berger uses a small-scale assignment to solve a marketing problem for Touropa, a tourism company, as an opportunity to help merge Touropa, Scharnow, Hummel and Dr. Tigges into giant tour operator TUI.

Other spectacular projects follow, including the innovative vertical market strategy for Trevira, a product of former dyeworks Hoechst, and an equally inventive marketing concept for a large German bank s financial advisory activities.

Das erste große Projekt beschert ihm der Zufall :

Aus einem kleinen Auftrag zur Lösung eines Marketingproblems beim Touristikunternehmen Touropa entwickelt Roland Berger die Fusion von Touropa, Scharnow, Hummel und Dr. Tigges zum Reise-Giganten TUI.

Weitere spektakuläre Projekte folgen, darunter die innovative vertikale Marktstrategie für Trevira, ein Produkt der damaligen Farbwerke Hoechst, sowie ein ebenso innovatives Marketingkonzept für die Vermögensberatung einer deutschen Großbank.

While internally everyone was still working on our optimisation programme fitforfuture at full power, we were able to acquire several new assignments.

Besides large projects such as Stuttgart 21, the high-speed rail link Coburg-Ilmenau or our first assignment from Qatar – works on the new metro in Doha – several new orders in Austria could be acclaimed.

Among them are the North Hospital in Vienna and, together with S IMMO, the QBC project.

Während intern noch mit voller Kraft an unserem Optimierungsprogramm fitforfuture gearbeitet wurde, konnten operativ eine ganze Reihe von neuen Aufträgen akquiriert werden.

s PC activities can evolve.

For example, your child might want to download and play a new game everyone s talking about, do some Internet research for a school project, or just get a little more PC time to finish a homework assignment .

Die Einstellungen, die sie für die PC-Aktivitäten Ihrer Familienangehörigen festlegen, entwickeln sich im Laufe der Zeit weiter.

Ihr Kind möchte beispielsweise ein neues Spiel herunterladen, über das gerade alle sprechen, muss für ein Schulprojekt im Web recherchieren oder braucht einfach mehr Zeit am PC für seine Hausaufgaben .

The small groups allow for real interactivity, an exchange of opinions and a collaboration between students.

In class, the 4 basic skills are systematically covered: priority is given to oral communication (listening comprehension and speaking) but writing skills are also covered by some activities during the class and more precisely developed at home by the assignment of homework exercises.

Grammar is taught in communicative situations to facilitate the integration of new linguistic structures and provide linguistic tools for rapid and efficient oral progress.

Unsere Französischkurse werden in kleinen Gruppen erteilt, die 6 bis maximal 12 Teilnehmer mit dem gleichen Niveau umfassen, damit die Arbeit den Kenntnissen der Studienteilnehmer angepasst werden kann und die Kommunikation sowie der mündliche Ausdruck gefördert wird, d. h. der Studienteilnehmer wird angeregt französisch zu sprechen.

Während des Unterrichts wird besonders großer Wert auf die mündliche Kommunikation gelegt (Hör-Verstehen und Sprechen), aber auch die Textproduktion wird geübt und später bei den Hausaufgaben vertieft.

Grammatikübungen werden während des Unterrichts in kommunikativen Situationen gelehrt, um den Einbau neuer sprachlicher Strukturen für einen schnelleren und effizienteren Lernfortschritt zu gewährleisten.

Possessive Articles and Possessive Pronouns in German Grammar

German possessives: the base forms, what is a possessive article, what are possessive pronouns.

• Lingolia Plus German

What is a possessive?

Possessives (Possessivpronomen und Possessivartikel) indicate ownership and possession; they allow us to express what belongs to whom.

There are two types of possessives in German grammar: possessive articles , which accompany a noun, and possessive pronouns , which stand in place of a noun.

Although the German possessives work similarly to English possessives like my/mine, your/yours, their/theirs, etc., the German possessives change their endings according to the case , gender and number of the noun they refer to.

Read on to learn all about possessives in German grammar, then put your knowledge to the test in the exercises.

Heute feiern wir den Geburtstag meines Sohnes.

Er sitzt ganz stolz vor seiner Geburtstagstorte.

Auch seine Schwester feiert gern Geburtstag, ihrer ist aber erst in einigen Monaten.

Wir feiern in unserem Garten und meine Eltern haben für die Feier extra ihren Urlaub verschoben.

The table below shows the base forms of the German possessives.

We then add different endings to these base forms according to factors like case, gender and number.

Read on to learn about each type of possessive in German grammar.

Possessive articles , also known as possessive adjectives, come before a noun.

They are similar to the English forms my, your, his, our, etc.

German possessive articles are declined ; they change their endings depending on the case, number and gender of the noun they modify.

Table of German possessive articles

*remove the second -e- from the base form euer- before adding the declension endings

Keep reading for a case-by-case breakdown of the different possessive article endings.

Possessive articles in the nominative

In the nominative case, we use the base forms with masculine and neuter nouns.

With feminine and plural nouns, we add the ending -e to the base form.

Possessive articles in the accusative

Accusative possessive articles take -en before masculine nouns and -e before feminine and plural nouns.

We use the base form before neuter nouns.

Possessive articles in the dative

In the dative case, the possessive articles take -em before masculine and neuter nouns, -er before feminine nouns and -en before plural nouns.

Possessive articles in the genitive

In the genitive case, possessive articles take -es before masculine and neuter nouns and -er before feminine and plural nouns.

Possessive pronouns stand in place of a noun.

They are similar to the English forms mine, yours, theirs, ours, etc.

Possessive pronouns match the noun they are replacing in terms of case, gender and number, even though the noun is omitted from the sentence.

Table of German possessive pronouns

*possessive pronouns in the genitive only occur after certain expressions

Keep reading for a case-by-case breakdown of the different possessive pronoun endings.

Possessive pronouns in the nominative

In the nominative case, masculine possessive pronouns end in -er , neuter possessive pronouns in -s and feminine and plural possessive pronouns in -e.

Possessive pronouns in the accusative

In the accusative case, masculine possessive pronouns end in -en, neuter possessive pronouns end in -s or -es and feminine and plural possessive pronouns end in -e .

Possessive pronouns in the dative

In the dative case, masculine and neuter possessive pronouns take the ending -em , feminine possessive pronouns take -er and plural possessive pronouns take -en .

Possessive pronouns in the genitive

Possessive pronouns in the genitive are rare. They generally only occur after specific expressions.

The genitive possessive pronouns take the following endings:

Dear Duolingo: How do you know the gender of German nouns?

Welcome to another week of Dear Duolingo, an advice column just for language learners. Catch up on past installments here .

Hey, y'all! This week I've teamed up with Dr. Kristina Schoen, a Duolingo curriculum designer who is responsible for our German course for English speakers! She's bringing her expertise as a German speaker and teacher to answer one of the most common questions we get in the Dear Duolingo inbox , one that plagues German learners, is of interest to English language history buffs, and should instill feelings of relief (...even Schadenfreude ?) in all other learners.

This week's question:

Dear Duolingo, I'm at the beginning of learning German, and I wonder if you could help me figure out the word "the." I understand that they have male form "der" and female form "die" but I got another one that's tripping me up and that's "das." It seems like that's another form! Can you help me out? Thank you, Das It Ever End

You’ve got it, Das It Ever End: German has three grammatical gender categories! That der (the) goes with masculine nouns, die (also means "the") with feminine, and das (...the) is for neuter nouns. That's only part of the story when it comes to German, though…

There's actually two layers to these German articles (words like the and a ): They vary according to grammatical gender and also by case , sometimes called declensions . These topics have been covered a bit in other posts, but here are the basics for German:

• Three grammatical genders. German nouns—for humans and objects—are all in one of three noun categories: masculine, feminine, or neuter. These categories are unrelated to human gender, sexuality, or identity and are purely grammatical. They could just as easily be called Category A, Category B, and Category C! In German, a noun's category affects the words around it, including adjectives and articles (words like the and a ), so a masculine noun is paired with a masculine article, feminine with feminine, and neuter with neuter.
• Four cases. German also uses a system of cases to indicate what a noun is doing in the sentence (is it the thing doing the action of the verb? Or is the thing being acted upon? Or something else?). The four cases in German are nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. Unlike other languages, German shows a noun's case not on the noun itself, but on words associated with the noun—adjectives and articles!

That means German is packing a ton of information into these tiny words: Articles indicate which grammatical gender category a noun is in, and which case the noun is in, in a particular sentence. If you've never studied German, you might be thinking, "Whoa, three genders… times four cases… that's 12 different articles!!"

But the truth is much, much worse…

In fact, there are only EIGHT different forms—because some of the articles are used for multiple genders and multiple cases. 😩

This week we'll get through the first layer of German nouns, so that you know what gender a noun is, and we'll cover German cases another time. Ok, here we go! 💪🏼

Grammatical gender: a refresher

When learning German—or any language with grammatical gender!—remember that grammatical gender categories aren't based on human gender. You won't be able to guess which category a noun is in based on whether some aspect of the word reminds you of men or women, or masculinity and femininity, or anything like that.

Instead, German learners can use a combination of word endings and the type of word to learn the gender of a noun. While it's true that thinking about human gender and masculinity and femininity won't help you, in German many types of nouns (like all the words for the months, or most of the names of chemical elements) will be in the same gender category.

And, as you now know, German's three non-human gender categories are called masculine, feminine, and neuter.

What does it mean that some German nouns are "neuter"?

In many languages , noun endings form two categories, but languages can have many more than two categories. Zulu has 19! German, Russian, and Latin all have three categories, and for convenience, the categories have been given names: masculine, feminine, and neuter. That third category, neuter, can feel perplexing if you're used to a system like Spanish or French, which just has masculine and feminine, but the neuter category works just the same as the others—it's a group of nouns that behave the same way in the language's grammar, and humans, regrettably, gave it a name that understandably makes learners think it's more than just a third category!

Here are tips for remembering which nouns are in which category.

Masculine nouns: der

The first category is called "masculine," simply because most nouns for men are in this category—not because the rest of the words have anything to do with men. In the nominative case, you'll use der for "the." Here are some patterns you'll see in this category:

• Nouns for men, including professions, are mostly masculine: der Bruder (the brother), der Arzt (the male doctor).
• Nouns with these endings are mostly masculine: -or, -ling, -ig, -ner, -smus, -er, -ich, -ismus, -ist, -ant, and -us . Examples include der Lehrling (the apprentice), der Schaffner (the conductor), and der Zirkus (the circus).
• The names of seasons, days of the week, months, compass directions, and precipitation are masculine: der Herbst (the autumn), (der) Juli (July), (der) Montag (Monday), der Süden (the south), and der Schnee (the snow).
• The names of car brands are masculine: der Audi, der BMW, and der Mercedes.

About two-thirds of one-syllable words are masculine, so If you have to guess about a new, short word, masculine is a good guess!

Feminine nouns: die

Next up are the feminine nouns (simply the second category), which use die for "the" in the nominative case. You'll find many—but not all!—words for human women in this category. Here are the basics:

• Nouns for women, including professions, are mostly feminine: die Mutter (the mother), die Ärztin (the female doctor).
• Nouns with these endings are mostly feminine: falt, -e, -ie, -ei, -enz, -anz, -heit, -keit, -tät, -ik, -tion, -sion, -schaft, -ung, -ur, and -t . Examples include: die Psychologie (the psychology), die Metzgerei (the butcher's shop),
• Numbers and the names of planes, ships, and trees are mostly feminine: (die) zwei (two), die Boeing 747, die Titanic, and die Eiche (the oak tree).
• Nouns from other languages that have these endings are mostly feminine: -ade, -age, -anz, -enz, -ik, -ion, -tät, and -ur . Examples include die Schokolade (the chocolate), die Musik (the music), and die Kultur (the culture).
• The names of motorcycle brands are feminine: die Harley Davidson, die Yamaha, and—when talking about motorcycles only!— die BMW .

Neuter nouns: das

And finally, category three—ahem, I mean, neuter! These nouns use das for "the" in the nominative case. And thankfully, they follow some patterns, too!

• Nouns with these endings are mostly neuter: -chen, -ial, -ium, -lein, -ma, -ment, -nis, -o, -tum, and -um.* Examples include das Instrument (the instrument), das Auto (the car), das Ergebnis (the result), and das Museum (the museum).
• Nouns that are diminutives (words for cute or small things) that end in –chen or –lein are mostly neuter: das Kaninchen (the little rabbit) and das Brötchen (the little bread/roll).
• The names of colors are neuter: (das) Rot (the red) and (das) Blau (the blue).
• The names of metals and almost all of the chemical elements are neuter: das Messing (the brass), das Aluminium (the aluminum), and das Kupfer (the copper).
• Most fractions are neuter: das Drittel (the third) and das Viertel (the fourth).
• Nouns that come from verbs and adjectives are neuter: das Schreiben (the writing) and das Böse (the evil).

Where it gets messy: the exceptions

When it comes to exceptions, German follows the rule: There are plenty of exceptions. You'll encounter them even among the most common words, so remember to always study new nouns with their article . Here are some exceptions you'll run into a lot:

There are also some cases where a noun can have different genders, and thus use different articles:

• When the gender changes its meaning. Some words change gender depending on their meaning! Der Band (masculine) means "the hardcover book," while das Band (neuter) means "the tape"! Der Lama (masculine) means "the Buddhist priest (Dalai Lama)," and das Lama (neuter) means "the llama."
• When different dialects use different genders. Sometimes, different dialects of German use different articles and genders with the same noun! Whether Joghurt (yogurt) is masculine, feminine, or neuter depends on your variety of German, and Meter (meter) can be masculine or neuter!

Der is more where that came from!

These rules and patterns give you a good idea of what category a German noun is in, and we'll cover German noun cases, and how they interact with articles, in another post. Remember to always keep communication in mind, and know that it takes a long time to remember all the grammatical gender rules! Instead, start by focusing on common words, and words most useful to you personally, and study articles ( der, die, das ) together with the noun.
