Fastest walk

Appears better than I had felt it. Yeah, it was a long walk and rather quick. 4,9 km/h looks well and only little pauses, even though it was strenuous. I’m having steadily more problems with my left foot, it’s getting … Lies weiter

Mr Witkoff

Indeed, it is my intention to write an German article about the mysterious Mr Witkoff. Mr Witkoff is the envoy of President Trump for the Near East and is now  responsibil for negotiating with Vladimir Putin about peace, about ceasefire … Lies weiter

A messi day

This has been an empty day. No sports, no thoughts, no English, no healthy habits. An extraordinarily silly visit to a neurologist who told me what I already know: there’s nothing that could help me, and nothing I can take … Lies weiter

Talks

.Just back from visiting Schaefer’s, not knowing what the hell to tell you. Therefore, basically, I have to look forward to tomorrow to expect more exciting and new inspiration. Certainly, the political discussions with Sch. went to the basis—the … Lies weiter

An Email

Instead of a new article a mail which I wrote today.

Really, Peter, you’ve used Windows 7 up to yesterday. But I don’t want to pull your legs. I hope you are happy with your new notepad, and it gives … Lies weiter

Fillers

Well, let’s start with a kind of text creation that uses a lot of such words. I mean, you know them, but you don’t really use them. It’s like lifting very heavy weights for a second-language speaker because, in your … Lies weiter

No piece of cake

To write down a short article containing fundamentally political issues expressed in a highly idiomatic style is not a piece of cake. Looking for suitable idioms which can be connected with scrutinizing(that can be used to scrutinize) political subjects can … Lies weiter

No slam dunk

In a report on a soccer match, I read the following nice phrase: ‘A player has been injured because he was on the wrong end of a collision, and he hobbled off the pitch.’ Such an injury isn’t a piece … Lies weiter

Idiomatic

Whenever I meet my friend A, it takes a while before he gets the ball rolling. He wastes a lot of time beating around the bush, to the point where I sometimes think he’s lost for words. However, once the … Lies weiter

Russians and Americans

 

Let’s talk about the Russian-American relationships.

Lately, almost everyone has gotten the impression that Russians and Americans are growing closer and closer. But it’s not really about “Russians” and “Americans” as a whole—it’s more about Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, … Lies weiter

Step by step

Honestly, am I being a bit lazy? Once again a surprisingly short article. But it remains a small amount of time for writing, the other language activities – reading, listening, writing down heard texts to assure my  understanding, taking part … Lies weiter

Brilliant day

4 km walk without cane, without pain and  an really good talk with ChatGPT. Such talk runs much better than with Languatalk. It’s quick, understands everything and I can talk with it all subjects I like, also actual events.

Film understanding

Today, I started a new method, a further method, so to say, to get better in English pronunciation, especially to improve language understanding, particularly in understanding films. The film I took for this experiment was the old series Downtown Abbey. … Lies weiter

I remain stable, it seems

This was a weak English day. I heard some podcast yet I’m my bed. One podcast recommended me to use a flashcard APP Anika. Another podcast recommended urgently not using flashcards at all. Í didn’t read the newspaper today, unfortunately. … Lies weiter

Great day or…?

The day was rather, perhaps you can say, very successful. I started in the morning after having some short exercises. No, before I had some exercises, my English practice with the app Languatalk, and I found out that this APP … Lies weiter

First Bike Tour

Today I had a very fine trip with my bicycle. It went from my home in the direction of Groß-Ziethen. On the way I looked for a new little town quarter where a lot of four-floor houses have been built. … Lies weiter

English with P.

After the party yesterday, we slept very long and we started  breakfast about half past ten, if I remember correctly. After breakfast, I did some exercises as always, pedaling my ergo-bike and doing some exercises for strengthening my hips. After … Lies weiter

Nothing new

A day without important events and regrettably no walk. Some equipment training, ergo biking, English conversation with F. , P. arrived from Erding for U.s birthday party tomorrow. You see, more events as usually.

Much sports

Looking at Baseball is perhaps a good basic language environment to write this diary entry. I am not disturbed by German noises. For some weeks now, I have been walking my, respectively our, classical tour of 3 km again. But … Lies weiter

Miserable

In not sure if Ulrike  recognises my state. I don’t want to complaine anymore i did it too often. It is extraordinarily heavy too walk, to carry out my gymnastics. Exercises which I did weeks ago without problems don’t work … Lies weiter

I found a new, marvellous app for English and other language learning, or better said, acquiring. This app is based on AI, and I think the real basis is ChatGPT. It is elegantly transformed into a language acquisition app, and … Lies weiter

Three topics

P. and I have decided to invite Canada to become a member of the EU and, with some hesitation, also to invite Egypt for membership in order to get the Suez Canal under EU control.

My physical state seems to … Lies weiter

No fun today

Unbelievable. But today I wrote an article for my political diary, so there is no time for my English article in this diary here. There is not much to tell about today. A little negative experience I had during my … Lies weiter

Birthday

There’s not much to report today. It’s U.’s birthday. We went for walks twice, and the third time to a restaurant. It wasn’t all that bad, but it wasn’t very fun either. I had to use a cane at times. … Lies weiter

Again Vance

At the moment, my physical state is not in the best condition, and as a consequence, my mental state has also suffered from these problems. I don’t dare to walk, and I do it nevertheless, but it’s very difficult, so … Lies weiter

Stucking

I’m struggling with myself whether my English understanding stuckes. I feel no progress if I’m listening to news, to podcasts and extraordinarily weak is my understanding of films.

Parallely, I don’t see any improving of my physical state.

Self-assessment

Yesterday, I read about self-assessment during the English learning process. It can be a great help for learning itself if you use the self-assessment not as a stressful task, but as part of your language improvement process. Because of this, … Lies weiter

Again Britzer Garten

Only a short notice a day later, because I forgot yesterday to write my diary entry, terrible, it shouldn’t happen anymore. We strolled, more or less clumsy, through the Britzer Garden with a break in the Italo Caffee. Some physical … Lies weiter

Visiting a orthopedist

Today, I visited my orthopedist. It was absolutely necessary because I’m waiting desperately for a progress of the stability of my hips during walking. He examined my state very carefully, more than  before. Once again he looked for the CT … Lies weiter

The Eco Chamber 3

As I announced yesterday, I want to speak about the father of this family, the Cleverely family. His name is George. George is a well-known moderator for BBC, especially for TV BBC, and he has interviewed a lot of famous … Lies weiter

The Eco Chamber 2

So, today let’s talk about the parents in this interesting family. Now, I’m speaking of an interesting family and not of a strange or weird one, because I don’t want to evaluate, to prejudge the family and giving the reader … Lies weiter

The Eco Chamber 1

Let’s start about The Eco Chamber. It’s quite a weird book about wokness and it’s about a weird family. There are five people in the family: the parents Beverly and George, and the children George, no, not George, Nelson, called … Lies weiter

Strange day

Once again a weird day. In the morning I had to go to my cardiologist in Karl-Marx-Strasse and noticed that my gait was very clumsy. The way to the bus station was difficult for me and the few steps to … Lies weiter
