For a linguistic experiment I am looking for people who can’t speak or understand German at all.
There are absolutely no other pre-requisites. No matter age, gender, mother language, culture, place of residence... Everyone can participate.
The experiment takes between 20 and 30 minutes and consists in listening to 10 short audio files and filling in a questionnaire about the audios. It has to do with how we perceive languages that we don't understand. Everything will be sent forth and back via email and it will take place around the 3rd or 4th week of April.
I assume that it will be difficult to find someone in the Zurich area who doesn’t speak or understand German, but maybe any of your friends or family living abroad would be so kind to help.
Please spread the word (feel free to forward this email to everyone). Hopefully we can find many participants! Just get in touch with me if you are interested, stating your age and mother language.
Thanks a lot!
