- Please note that you will have to work on two topics per week, which roughly equals 4 lesson, but of course that also depends on your individual pace- In any case: take your time and work reliably and thoroughly.
- The Links to each topic will be active every Wednesday morning the latest … and you do know the password (it will be changed once a month)
- When working from home please take this seriously as it will be essential for your Kolloquium: download the texts, work on all the tasks (including the Listening Comprehension exercises) and compare your findings with my model solutions.
- The Skype chatroom as well as the Teams channel are online and can be used for questions at any time!
- We will also have a mandatory video conference in our Teams Channel every Friday
- The motto for the next weeks is: Don’t panic (and never forget where your towel is)!

- Please get the following edition of Pygmalion and read it through over the holidays: Pygmalion
- If you’re lucky, you might be able to watch the Hollywood version of the musical based on Pygmalion (called „My fair Lady„) on TV some time during the holidays
- For those who are into reeeeeaally old movies, there is a quite okay-ish 1938 version of the original drama on Youtube!
- Very important: the questions and answers in the individual lessons make up your „Hefteinträge“, please do not skip that!
Week 6: February 15 – 19
So we’ve finished reading and analysing Pygmalion … not quite:
Please watch the Hollywood version of Pygmalion during the Non-Carnival holidays and compare it to the original. The following points are of particular interest:
- Which scenes have been omitted and what scenes have been added – why?
- „My fair Lady“ is a musical – are the songs a nuisance?
- Do you prefer the drama or the musical?
- How three-dimensional are the characters in the musical?
- What do you think about the end of the usical? Does it do justice to GBS‘ ideas?
Link: My Fair Lady
