Day 19: “Alle Hat Eine Ende; Nur Die Wurst Hat Zwei.” Everything Has An End: Only The Sausage Has

Day 17: Ländlich. So I’m the son of a cattle rancher from Nebraska. The nearest town is 35 miles away. So my word to describe my hometown is “ländlich”, meaning ‘rural’. This is a word I didn’t know I needed!

Day 7: Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische; Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze! Was it’s das?!?

Day 11: der Fuchs. The fox!

Day 15: Da steppt der Bär. Y’all, I didn’t know this little gem existed. Da steppt der Bär. Literally, “There tap dances the bear.” Meaning, it will be a great party. Also, upon further research I find that ‘steppen’ can mean ‘quilting’, or ‘knitting’. Although I know it means dancing, I’m going to be thinking of a wild party with a quilting bear in the corner because THATs the party I want to know all about!

Day 3: der Wasserhahn, the faucet. Which, now that I look at it, means water rooster. ...Ok. I won’t forget this again. #deutsch #deutschlernen #german #leadwithlanguages

Day 8: Urtier, primordial beast. This was one of my German professorin’s favorite words. She always translated it as ‘monster’, but other definitions are different. Any fluent speakers have any insights?

Kartoffellöffel: potato spoon! Always and forever my favorite word in German. #leadwithlanguages #deutsch #german #bilingual #Languagelearning #linguistics #kartoffellöffel #lieblingswort

Day 16: Schauspielen! When I’m not quarantining and social distancing, I’m a trained actor! I do mainly theatre but also have done some small stuff in TV and independent film!

Day 20: die Nachrichten! The news! This is another word I always seem to forget!
