Ready to kick off an exciting journey at the Leadership Academy in Heidelberg, organized by the German Scholars Organization e.V. (GSO)!
Starting the day with a rare treat: an *uninterrupted* hotel breakfast. Parents, you know the luxury. 
Just finished the first version of a paper to be submitted for an edited volume on Digital Grammar Studies! Still have to cut a bit (arg), but so happy feeling that things are moving forward 
Just resubmitted my paper “Becoming a Speaker of German as an L1 French Speaker: Elite Multilingualism as a Means of Distinction in a Globalized World”, which only required minor revisions. Really hoping to see it out soon, as the 1st version was submitted in August last year 
This one (Reviewer 2!!) caught me off guard on a random Friday evening (usually not even reading my emails that late haha)!
Paper on the language ideologies of multilinguals on anglicisms in French and German coming out soon
‘Mijn Duits-hart brak’, zegt derdejaars student Duits Daimy Ligterink. [...]
Universitair hoofddocent Duits Jenny Audring is ‘zeer ongelukkig over de plannen’.
Favorite further readings for students conducting interviews about German in the Netherlands (multilingualism, language ideologies) on how to analyze and interpret interview data in migration contexts?
Already on the list: Laihonen 2008, Dailey-O'Cain & Liebscher, König.
Zwischenfeedback der Seminarteilnehmenden im Projekt „Deutsch in den Niederlanden“:
Auf die Frage, wie kann ich sie im Lernprozess besser unterstützen, antworteten viele, sie wollen noch mehr Texte lesen 
So geht forschungsorientiertes, projekt- und kompetenzbasiertes Lernen!
Save the date! Leiden University, 5-6 June 2025

Very happy to have taken part in my first PhD defense as an opposition member at Leiden University yesterday! 
Congrats to Dr Cosmas Amenorvi who brilliantly defended his thesis on “A Sociolinguistic Study of an Ewe-based Youth Language of Aflao, Ghana”!
On the European Day of Languages, a celebration of linguistic diversity across Europe and beyond, the final post on German in the Netherlands is out on the Leiden Language Blog!
In this piece, my former student assistant Nathan Rauch explores the limited sociolinguistic research on German-speaking communities in the Netherlands:
I am very excited about this one. And proud!

Thanks to an Education Innovation Grant, a new teaching project on German in the Netherlands has started at Leiden University! 
Together with students in German Studies, the aim is to understand how German speakers navigate their multilingual lives and participate in Dutch society.
The data collection consisting of interviews is about to start!
We hope to be able to release the corpus in open access at the end of the semester.
