Abstract
This paper is based on the experience of its author who went to Germany to conduct
research work in the area of fluid dynamics, a branch of science/engineering that deals
with fluid motion, e.g. of air (wind, smoke), water (in rivers, oceans), oil, blood, or glacier.
The research work in Germany was funded through a scholarship awarded to the author by
the organization DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst - German Academic
Exchange Service). The scholarship included a four-month German language course at the
Goethe Institut. This paper summarizes the author's experiences at learning and using
German, both at the Goethe Institute and thereafter.
