How to cook a language

The posted 18 drawings came into existence during my 1-year teaching job at Wuhan Polytechnic University, where I've tried my best to introduce the German language to more than 70 students whose major was "brewery". The students have been divided into 3 classes, each of them got 4 hours per week with me. I used those self-made flashcards during the first term from September 2007 to January 2008. Altogether I created 63; here you see the minority of good ones. Some of the students tried to pass a test in order to apply for a scholarship in Munich. Only one was successful! Maybe I did a bad job. . .

Now I got a new teaching job as a German teacher in Shenzhen, that's why I dug those pictures out these days. I'm going to use them again it seems! This time I'm going to teach Chinese adults who work here in local companies who cooperate with German ones. Let's see how good I'm going to teach my new students this time!
