Long time no see….
Hey guys,
I haven’t posted in a while and I am sorry about that. Since I moved to Los Angeles last September I’ve been juggling two jobs, one of them is full-time and the other one is a part time German teacher position, and the horrible LA traffic every day. It’s hard to find time for other stuff… including this German blog.
Today I would like to share with you a fantastic new YouTube channel and network called Tastemade. Tastemade wants to connect the world through food and has just launched a German language channel next to their English channel.
Practice your German with fun recipes! Currently there are two original shows and new episodes are released every Tuesday and Friday. Tune it, subscribe, comment, share. Thank you for supporting this great channel!

2. anders = different
Ich komme nicht gut mit ihm klar. Er ist einfach anders. I don’t get along with him well. We are just different.

It’s Christmas time! And that means that Germany is full of Christmas markets again. Almost every town, no matter if big or small, has their own Christmas market. On the picture you can see a rather small market in a town called Coburg, Bavaria.

der Weihnachtsmarkt = Christmas market

Yesterday I asked you to guess what a “trübe Tasse” is.
Well, you can call somebody “eine trübe Tasse” who is really boring. It literally translates to gloomy/blurred cup, which doesn’t make a lot of sense of course. ;)
