Hallo liebe Menschen!
Welcome to the newsletter of QUEER_gesprochen?! In this newsletter, I want to give you an overview about new (and ongoing) offerings and some general informations in case you don’t know much about what this little project is about. Next to the titles you find information about the language the offer is using.
The newsletter and email-list is handmade, so if you don’t want to receive it anymore or not even sure why you get it in the first place, please let me know by answering this email so I can sort you out. 🙂 If you’re interest in getting the newsletter per email, please fill out this form.
And since I personally find newsletter with only events and courses a bit boring, I want to give you a little exercise as a bonus! You find it in the General Information section.

General information
Bonus exercise
First a big sorry for all, who tried to find the answer on QUEER_gesprochen?!’s Instagram. The promised post was unfortunately forgotten. However, the answer is that the first Christopher-Street-Day in Berlin happened on the last Saturday in June 1979 and had 450 participants.
Starting on August 1st people can start to inform their Standesamt that they want to change their sex and first name. When will the Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (law of self-determination) officially come into effect?

What is QUEER_gesprochen?! and who is it for?
QUEER_gesprochen?! is a project which offers German language courses for LGBTQIA*, trainings for teachers and companies about diversity sensitivity and gender neutral language.
It is for people of all sizes and shapes, regardless of ethnic or social origin, class, religion, gender, sexuality, sexual preference, disability, age, profession or anything else that makes us who we are. I create the courses as a safe space for all who want to learn the German language but feel uncomfortable in other classes or want to connect with other queer folk.
If not statet differently, all courses are online.
