Your students learn German by living in it.
Soma is where learners meet German in songs, stories and pictures — every word explained in their own language, and everything they save brought back before they forget it.
I stand in smoke, but my head stays clear
Bass runs deep and the evening becomes real
Your look is loud, but you don’t say anything anymore
We play it cool, but inside it’s heavy
I drink only slowly, I have time tonight
The city is soft, yet it keeps us awake
Your name still dances in the glass before me
I laugh too loud, because you’re missing here
The trumpet whispers of old days
We were young, without big questions
You say you must, but you don’t want to go
In the mirror I still see us both standing
Smoke in the light, I don’t see you
Yet I feel you next to me
Heart in the beat, we still go along
Until the morning at the door
The drums are quiet, but my pulse is fast
Time is tired, but you are too bright
You talk briefly about the new city
About the new job, about the other night
I listen to you, but my sound rises up
The bass gets loud, my calm is like straw
You laugh and say everything is fine
Yet your hand still has old courage
We are quiet hard, because the words burn
You look at me, I can’t know you
Need no plan, only maybe a song
That someday tells who here loves whom
Smoke in the light, I don’t see you
Yet I feel you next to me
Heart in the beat, we still go along
Until the morning at the door
This is the player your students use, explaining German in English. Press play, tap any word, turn the vocals off.
One place to hear it, speak it, see it and keep it.
Made to sit beside your classes.
Songs can be written around the vocabulary of your own units. The vocals switch off so a whole class can sing. And every line is explained in the language each student thinks in — English, Hindi, Telugu or twenty others.
We would love to show it to your teachers.
