Starting in September on Radio Aden Learn German From the Radio [Archives:2005/872/Local News]

Starting from September, Radio Aden will offer a program of daily German language courses. The courses, entitled “German- why not?” are broadcast in cooperation with Deutsche Welle Radio and German Embassy in Sana`a.

The language of teaching is Arabic. The courses start from scratch and gradually work-up to a comprehensive knowledge of spoken German.

“With over 100 million native speakers, German is the most widely spoken language in Europe”, says Hendrik Selle, Cultural Attache at the German Embassy. “This is why some knowledge of German is an asset for the career of any young Yemeni, especially considering Germany`srole as the world's top exporting nation and as one of Yemen's most important development partners.”

This program is also designed to target the 3,000 strong group of Yemenis who studied or received training in Germany and who often lack opportunities to practice their German. Lessons will be broadcast on Radio Aden and the Satellite Channel daily except Fridays from 8:45 to9 p.m.

Every single lesson will be broadcast on tow consecutive days. Additional information, including texts and audio files, on this language program can be found on the Deutsche Welle website at www.dw-world.de.

German courses are also offered by the German House on Algiers Street in Sana`a and by the German Consulate in Khormaksar, Aden.
