Der Winter - The Winter

Winter in many parts of Europe truly last six months.

From, let's say the end of October to end of April.

That is why it is important that people find ways to enjoy the winter months.

When I lived in Ljubljana (pictured above from my Instagram) it was gray almost every single day during the long winter months.

Luckily, the city is so beautiful, so it was easier to find ways to find joy in the little things.

Winter in Philly on the other hand is full of crisp days with beautiful sunshine - my favorite kind of winter weather! As they say, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

There is no bad weather, there is only the wrong clothing.

Slow German Lesson 11 - Der Winter


{Deutsch/German}
Was findest du am schönsten im Winter?
Natürlich ist es am schönsten
wenn der Schnee liegt draußen
und die Sonne scheint.
Mm..das ist aber schön.
Dann können wir einen Spaziergang
im Schnee machen.
Wir können einen Schneemann bauen
oder eine Schneeballschlacht machen.
Oder vielleicht kann man
Schlittschuhfahren gehen
Vielleicht ein bisschen Skifahren
oder...ja...was noch?
Wie sieht euer Winter aus?
Was machst du am liebsten?
Lasst mich wissen!
Wir sehen uns.
Tschüss!

{Englisch/English}
What do you like best about winter?
Of course, it is the most beautiful
when there is snow outside
and the sun is shining.
Mm..that is nice.
Then, we can take a stroll
in the snow.
We can build a snowman
or have a snowball fight.
Or maybe you like to
go ice skating
Maybe, do a bit of skiing
or ... yes ... what else?
What does your winter look like?
What do you like to do most?
Let me know!
See you.
Bye!

How Many Languages Do You Speak?

EWTN Radio


Last month, my Dad messaged me to let me know that one of his favorite radio programs, Take 2 with Jerry and Debbie, was hosting an episode on languages.

In a moment of true serendipity, after finishing teaching my morning lessons, I read my Dad's text message, found the phone number and dialed multiple times until I got through.

Getting on the Radio

As I listened to the others describing their experiences with other languages, my heart filled with joy knowing that I had to make it on this program before it ended.

Luck was on my side - and the timing was right.

I spoke to the screener and we bonded over Eastern European customs. When he heard my background and the number of languages I speak, he said he would try to get me on and to wait until I heard my name.

Save the Best for Last

Just as the program was about to conclude, they decided to go to one more caller.

Take a listen below and hear me as the last guest of the day answering the question, "How Many Languages Do You Speak?"


Shout out to Tatus

I'm so grateful my Dad was able to listen live and record this sound clip.

It absolutely made both his and my day/week/month.

The full episode is available to stream directly here.

Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie

Hosts Jerry Usher and Debbie Georgianni create a welcoming on-air environment so that their listeners feel comfortable sharing with one another their take on the most important issues of daily life.

Catholics helping Catholics!

As a peer-to-peer ministry, it's social media for the ears!
