Can someone explain what these "limit times" would be? Seems too fast for a regular lap lane. I cannot make sense of it. (At Schönbrunner Bad in Vienna) #SchwimmeninWien

Best part about research trips abroad? Discovering the historic swimming pools. 😍 Had a great swim this morning at Kongressbad in Vienna.

Gender neutral language in the German classroom? Check out this interview with Illi Anna Heger! "if you include gender-neutral, gender inclusive language in the DaF classroom, you have to keep in mind that nothing is set in stone yet." onlinelibrary-wiley-com.kzoocoll.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/...

@jeskeets.bsky.social #NoBuffs - what an episode! Amazing. I couldn't believe they had to go right from pigging out at the auction into a challenge. 🤮 What would be the worst classic survivor immunity challenge to do after a big meal? Looking forward to the pod tomorrow! #NoSpearFishingNeeded

@jeskeets.bsky.social so Coach cites Magellan, Freud, Nietzsche ...when he is not whispering haikus... who would you be citing from memory out there on the island? What would be the #NoDunks inspirational words of wisdom? #survivor50

Talking about "Wäsche waschen" in German class and I told my students I grew up in the Midwest and we said "to do the wash" in my family (not laundry). They looked at me like they had never heard this. How common is this elsewhere?! #Regionalisms #AmericanEnglish

Speaking a foreign language with an accent is okay, because your accent is part of who you are and of your own culture.

This is presenting a new challenge as a German teacher. Although the article does say they know how to shift in register to more formal writing.... www.upworthy.com/gen-z-calls-...

Gen Z thinks capital letters are just 'too intense.' And a linguist agrees.

It's not about being lazy.

You know you're a Lang teacher when you watch this challenge with the paintings in #TraitorsUK & #TheTraitors and all you can think about is how fun this would be in class. Group 1 reads a description and acts out a painting, Group 2 gets a photo and has to match it to the original. #langchat

looking forward to discussing truth and lies in Jurek Becker's "Jakob der Lügner" with students the next 3 weeks. An amazing work of literature. Day 1 we will dig into the complicated narrator and what it means to be a survivor storyteller.

This week in German class: the scene in Babylon Berlin where the chief of police says that they need to suppress demonstrations to "protect democracy". Warns about "radicals" bringing chaos to the streets, increases police presence in left-leaning areas, & passes out guns to be used ag. civilians

inspired by @slayyypod.bsky.social friends to create a little "cheat sheet" for my intermediate learners. They always struggle with the "mir" idioms and I thought we'll focus on those next week. #teachGerman #DaF #langchat
