Have you always wanted to know what Grandma really wrote in her old diary? Or decipher what was written on your great-grandfather's postcard from 1912? Then it's time to discover the art of Kurrent script - that elegant but now almost forgotten form of writing in which some letters look like small works of art (or cryptic secret codes).
In this course, you will learn step by step how to read old German handwriting - and even write it yourself. With pen, paper and a pinch of humor, you will immerse yourself in a bygone era when people still wrote with ink, verve and style.
Ideal for anyone doing genealogical research, trawling through archives or simply having fun with old scripts - and who fancy a bit of brain training with a historical twist!
