As part of my commitment to the docent program\, I serve as a gallery guide on select Friday afternoons. \nI am a native Swiss\, born and raised in Luzern\, located in the German-speaking region of Switzerland. In everyday life\, we primarily speak Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch)\, a collection of Alemannic dialects that vary by region. While Swiss German is used in daily conversation\, Standard German (Hochdeutsch) is employed in formal settings such as education\, media\, and written communication. Due to notable differences in pronunciation\, vocabulary\, and grammar\, Swiss German can be difficult for non-native speakers to understand—therefore\, I will be leading the German tours at the MFA in Standard German. \nI am a Swiss Federally Certified Adult Educator and have taught Swiss culture and Standard German to expatriates working for Swiss companies. I am well-traveled and fluent in English as well. \n\n\nDeutsch: Mein Name ist Anita Birrer. Ich bin Schweizerin\, in Luzern geboren und aufgewachsen. Ich spreche Schweizerdeutsch und Hochdeutsch (Muttersprache)\, Englisch und Französisch. Ich bin eidg. diplomierte Ausbilderin und habe in dieser Rolle während über 25 Jahren fremd- und deutschsprachige Menschen in der Schweiz im Umgang mit der Schweizer Kultur und der deutschen Sprache beraten\, ausgebildet und gefördert. \nIm Mai 2022 habe ich die Ausbildung zur MFA-Museumsführerin erfolgreich abgeschlossen. \nIn dieser Rolle interagiere ich jeden Freitagnachmittag mit Museumsbesuchern aller Altersgruppen\, Fähigkeiten und Hintergründe durch lebhafte\, anregende und unterhaltsame Gespräche über unsere ausgestellten Kunstwerke in den Galerien. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nSponsored in part by the State of Florida through the Division of Arts and Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts. \n
