German living in 🇨🇭, gay 🏳️‍🌈, I tweet in 🇩🇪, 🇬🇧 and every now and then in 🇫🇷.

Interested in French music 🎶 🇨🇵, cycling on my e-bike 🚴‍♂️⚡️, video games 🎮, reading 📖 , secularism, social-democracy
Meanwhile in France 🇨🇵😁:

Different opinions on top rock albums.
I agree on Babel Babel.

Vive l'amitié franco-allemande !

I looked the word up. A wood chipper and a wood chopper are not the same thing.

True. I wouldn't have done this on a non-electric bike.

I believe some of the French singers I listen to a lot would be quite perplexed by just how much a German is willing to listen to their music.

Du auch?

I just buy some treats in case some kids would ring my door.

But usually I get to eat them myself.

Falls es an einem allfälligen Unglauben, dass du tatsächlich Taylor Swift Fan bist, liegt und du Spotify hast, kannst du die Zweifel ausräumen in dem du deine "On Repeat" Playlist postest.

Meine räumt bspw. sehr effektiv Zweifel daran aus, dass ich wirklich viel französische Musik höre.

Right now I am using my new e-Reader to read through my TBR stack.

Do you first check if the pictures in those books still look sufficiently similar to your current self?

But there are also bookstores outside the large metropolitan areas of Texas. I just checked on Google Maps.

I do think I can grasp the distance quite well.

That bicycle vacation I did for fun is about the length of Washington State north to south (maybe somewhat long)

A guitar strapped onto my back would seem uncomfortable.

But I also actually do longer bicycle vacations over here in Europe.

Instead people could do the sensible thing and go to laundromats instead.

As I often do during bike vacations in France.

(It's a bit like a cruise, just with a whole lot more of peddling)

Momente der absoluten Social Media Frustration:

Wie kann es sein, dass mir Instagram seit zwei Tagen immer wieder Theater anzeigt, wenn ich bei solchen Dingen wirklich niemals auf Like drücke.

✨ At the end of the day, it’s not just about information — it’s about transformation. ✨

On Bluesky, every research post becomes more than words on a screen: it evolves into a catalyst for meaningful engagement, authentic dialogue, and a healthier digital ecosystem.

Are there studies that support that?
I, for my part, would suggest the very same e-Reader + dictionary approach to students that a native speakers of German and need to build their vocabulary.

btw. the book is «Nano» by Phillip P. Peterson.

I can show you what I mean in those pictures.
I actually prefer the one languages dictionaries to learn foreign languages.

If, as a foreign language reader, you need to put down the book every couple of pages, you'll quickly lose the joy in reading.

The dictionary says with hyphen.

Wegen dem Zollhammer, habe ich mir ein PocketBook von buchhaus.ch, statt einen neuen Kindle gekauft.

Wenn ich unterwegs bin kaufe ich mir gerne nochmal die Bücher, die ich daheim habe als eBook um sie im Zug zu lesen.

And there they're as well.

I don't think that there are very many other people around for whom this Release Radar of mine (French+German+Electronic music) would work.

In some regard, the algorithm needs to consider my interests to come up with that.

If it's what they like: Why bother?

I, for my part, am almost completely missing out on current music from the English-speaking world.
Instead I am listening to stuff like that:

Tipp: Kanada ist zweisprachig.

Fake-Kanadier aus den USA sollte man recht leicht mit einem freundlichen "Bonjour! Ça-va?" entlarven können.

Hint: Canada is bilingual.

Fake-Canadians from the US, should be easy to expose with a friendly: "Bonjour! Ça-va?"

@marthawells.com

Did you see: "Titel Thesen Temperamente" named your book part of the "Welsliteratur"

context That's a play on words between Wels [catfish] and Welt [world]
further context: catfish kept biting swimmers in a pond in Germany
So the media is filled with Wels-Welt-puns.
