SUMMARY:PA Dutch Classes\, Spring 2024- Tuesdays 7:00PM Beginner Online
DESCRIPTION:This selection is for an Online Beginner class on Tuesdays from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. These courses will be held on the following Tuesdays: 3/5\, 3/12\, 3/19\, 3/26\, 4/2\, 4/9\, 4/16\, and 4/23. Online students will be emailed class Zoom link details at a later date. \nBerks History Center is pleased to continue offering in-person and online classes that explore the language and culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch. \nEnrolling in a Pennsylvania Dutch class at the Berks History Center offers a fun opportunity for students to enjoy the fellowship of other Pennsylvania Dutch enthusiasts\, but more importantly\, it allows an opportunity to celebrate and preserve this rich cultural heritage.  \nDuring the spring of 2024\, the Berks History Center will offer both online and in-person classes\, and we will offer three different course levels. All classes will be eight weeks in length. Classes cost $70 for BHC members (Individual Level Members and above) and $140 for non-members. Participants can become a BHC member by signing up online at https://www.berkshistory.org/membership/. \nOur Beginner Course is perfect for students with little knowledge of the language\, or for more experienced speakers who would benefit from a review. The beginner course introduces students to vocabulary\, common phrases\, and very basic grammar. This course also includes weekly culture lessons which provide students with a better understanding and appreciation of the people and the communities that speak Pennsylvania Dutch. This course uses a workbook\, A Pennsylvania Dutch Beginner’s Guide\, by Bradley Smith\, which will be provided to all students before the start of class (in-person students will receive a printed version\, online students will receive an electronic version). \nEvent Location\nBerks History Center

SUMMARY:Ladies of 20th Century Pennsylvania Dutch Literature and Illustration
DESCRIPTION:For our March Second Saturday program\, Candace K. Perry\, Curator of the Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center\, has meticulously researched the journey of female authors and illustrators who have incorporated Pennsylvania German themes into their works of fiction and non-fiction. Perry’s research covers women like Helen R. Martin\, the author of Tillie the Mennonite Maid\, and Katherine Milhous\, author and illustrator of Appolonia’s Valentine. These talented ladies paved the way for present-day “bonnet fiction” authors\, but their themes were often centered on anachronisms\, folk beliefs\, and patriarchal attitudes that they perceived as part of Pennsylvania German culture. \nThis program will be held in person\, inside the BHC Museum Auditorium. The cost of this program is $5 for BHC members and $8 for non-members. Coffee\, hot tea\, juice\, and light refreshments will be made available for participants at 9:30 AM. \nThe snow date of this program is 3/16/24.

SUMMARY:PA Dutch Classes\, Spring 2024- Tuesdays 7:00PM Intermediate Online
DESCRIPTION:This selection is for an Online Intermediate class on Tuesdays from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. These courses will be held on the following Tuesdays: 3/5\, 3/12\, 3/19\, 3/26\, 4/2\, 4/9\, 4/16\, and 4/23. Online students will be emailed class Zoom link details at a later date. \nBerks History Center is pleased to continue offering in-person and online classes that explore the language and culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch. \nEnrolling in a Pennsylvania Dutch class at the Berks History Center offers a fun opportunity for students to enjoy the fellowship of other Pennsylvania Dutch enthusiasts\, but more importantly\, it allows an opportunity to celebrate and preserve this rich cultural heritage.  \nDuring the spring of 2024\, the Berks History Center will offer both online and in-person classes\, and we will offer three different course levels. All classes will be eight weeks in length. Classes cost $70 for BHC members (Individual Level Members and above) and $140 for non-members. Participants can become a BHC member by signing up online at https://www.berkshistory.org/membership/. \nOur Intermediate Course is ideal for graduates of the Beginner Course or for students with a basic understanding of the language. This course features less discussion of culture and entails a deeper dive into grammar and vocabulary. This eight-week course covers chapters 1-6 of the textbook Schwetz Mol Deitch by Douglas Madenford and Joshua Brown\, with two weeks for practice and review. Students are required to purchase this textbook on their own\, but the Berks History Center can provide links to vendors.
