Once again, we were allowed to contribute to the "Kleine Fächer-Wochen" (small subject weeks) at the University of Hamburg.
In a two-hour taster course on Thursday, 23 January 2020 from 02:00-04:00 pm we offered the opportunity to get to know German Sign Language. Our sign language lecturer Mrs. Pamela Sundhausen introduced the basics of German Sign Language, first vocabulary and the German manual alphabet.
Many people interested in sign language had registered for the course. The participants came from near and far. At the end of the course the participants were already happy about their first successes and had numerous questions, which could be answered in detail by Mrs. Sundhausen thanks to our sign language interpreter Mrs. Melanie Bertermann.
