Ein Buch mit dem Titel "Frauen im Schach" aus den 90ern zu lesen erklärt mir mehr über den aktuellen Zustand im Kinder-, Vereins- und Spitzenschach als es sollte. 🥲

If somebody asks, yes, I use Low Saxon to explain a word or phrase in my Portuguese classes while teaching in small towns in Northern Germany.

Was ist der Vorteil davon, Kindern beizubringen, dass das Verb/die Verben allein in einem Satz wie "die Frau isst Kuchen" das Prädikat ist?

Hmmm 👀

I'm very glad that I was able to participate in Christoph Hornung's workshop (@c_hornung) about Open Access in Romance Studies today at the Forum Junge Romanistik 2024 in Hamburg. #fjr24 Danke für den super Workshop!

Somewhere along the way, for me, the cold, soulless "networking" got replaced by "making friends and hyping their work up to anyone who would listen," and I gotta be honest, I'm loving this.

Retracting a 6am post to post it at a better time wasn't on my bingo sheet for 2024.

Do people offer "lets talk about soccer in German" lessons for interested fans? Am I already too late to that party? Touristy topics might help fans as well as a big bunch of them is travelling through Germany and just now realizes that not everybody speaks English here. 😅
