{"product_id":"66126-learning-deutsch","title":"Learning German","description":"After experimental musician and visual artist Mazen Kerbaj moved with his family from Beirut to Berlin, he found himself confronted with a new language, a new world. He decided to learn German in his own way: one word a day, for 365 days, each word illustrated with a self-portrait.\u003cbr\u003eLearning Deutsch is a word-picture book and a perpetual calendar all at once: word by word, we follow Mazen Kerbaj on his journey of discovery through the peculiarities of the German language. The drawings, flanked by Arabic, English, and German words, develop a unique textbook for language acquisition.\u003cbr\u003eThe drawings are often humorous, but sometimes also sad and touching; they rarely simply illustrate the words, but are the open diary of a Middle Eastern artist finding his way in German everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMAZEN KERBAJ (*1975, Beirut), who works in diverse fields such as music, visual arts, comics, and theater, is one of the key figures in the post-civil war Lebanese art scene. His works have been published in over ten languages and exhibited in galleries, museums, and art fairs worldwide.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49690246545672,"sku":"9783775756389","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775756389_cfff7755-fc6d-4461-bf0a-50c4c46f6543.jpg?v=1745308710","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/66126-learning-deutsch","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
