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. 🙂 In case your email provider and the layout is not working together and it’s hard to read, I posted the content also on my website: …
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.
News in September
New Courses
In September we don’t start new group courses, BUT we want to start in October a trial of one or two on-site courses. You can already join the waiting list for your level and give us your preference for online or on-site courses. When we have enough participants to start a new group or finished planning October courses we contact you with details. Please sign here.
New Prices
Unfortunately, QUEER_gesprochen?! needs to adjust prices of the individual courses starting September 1st. We know that money is tight with most of you, especially in the queer community, but we want to make sure that we can maintain the quality and service our students deserve.
To support those who’ve been with us for a while, we’re offering a sliding scale between their old price and the new one, so you can choose what works best for you. This offer applies to everyone, who book(ed) a course in 2024 before September 1st.
The new prices of the individual courses are 180€ for 4×60 minutes, 400€ for 10×60 minutes and 600€ for 10×90 minutes.
For group courses the prices stay the same but the minimum of participants will be raised to 4 persons.

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.
