“My German saying” competition
We invite all German language learners and German lovers to take part in the creative phrase competition “My German Phrase”! Share your favourite German saying or phrase. Maybe it’s a saying that inspired you, made you smile or just sounds interesting!
You can choose any expression – from a casual greeting to a very sophisticated one that reflects your attitude to language or life. Explain what it means to you and why it is so important to you.
The saying can be presented in a variety of formats to allow you to express your idea in the most creative way:
- A short video – record yourself or others saying your chosen phrase, add context or narration.
- Photo – capture a moment you associate with the saying and add it to the photo as text.
- Graphic design – create a visual work to illustrate the chosen saying (drawing, poster or digital graphic).
How to participate:
- Choose your favourite German expression or phrase.
- Submit your favourite German expression in one of the above formats and include a short explanation of why it is important to you (up to 50 words).
- Send your entry by 16 October to uki@vdu.lt.
The winning sayings will be published on our website and social media. There are also some fun prizes waiting for you!
