Summary/Abstract: The following text outlines a situation, in which first semester students of German language and literature in a south-eastern European country work on their own into the subject of phonetics. This situation simultanously deals with three problems. They are 1) a phonetics problem (the studentscritically discuss the system of German consonants, whereby for them the r- and ch-sounds are the main focus), 2) a problem of university teaching (Which methodical-didactic approaches help students become competent in critical thinking?), and 3) a problem concerning democracy-theoretical questionsand (higher) education policy (fostering and maintaining a body of voters who are capable of democratic participation which is a precondition for establishing democracy – or: How can voters be prevented from turning away from democracy?)
