Guten Tag! Your first lesson in German introduces you to useful expressions and some of the distinctive sounds of the language. Professor Pfrehm shows how to turn u into ü (u with an umlaut) and how to transform ch, spoken in the front part of the mouth (as in ich, meaning "I"), into German's back-of-the-throat ch (as in the composer Bach). And, you'll discover why German is worth learning.
German- American Director, Ernst Lubitsch was born in Berlin in 1892. His urbane comedies of manners gave him the reputation of being Hollywood's most elegant and sophisticated director. As his prestige grew, his films were promoted as having "the Lubitsch touch." Among his best known works are Trouble in Paradise, Design for Living, Ninotchka, The Shop Around the Corner, To Be or Not to Be and Heaven Can Wait.
In this performance documentary dancer/choreographer Betsy Fisher performs solos from pieces by the originators of the German Expression Dance (Ausdruckstanz) and American exponents of the movement, which began in Germany prior to World War I. Fisher also provides narration describing the creation and the historical context of each work.
