While learning german at the language school DeutschAkademiemy my teacher showed me this little interessting site: the online german course
This handy grammar course supported me with my homeworks and such. It has plenty of course material online and helps you with the german grammar.
According to these wretched scales that you can find in Möckernbrücke (U6) I am too fat. I want to believe they follow post-war standards, but I guess that is not even true and I have had too many döner. It was worth it, in any case…
I think it is a gret idea that the plastic bags are not given for free in German shops. In my country, if you buy three items in a shop the average number of plastic bags that you get is 6. No kidding. We could probably line up all the bags I have got in my life until now and we could go to the moon, cover it in plastic bags, come back to Earth and give every human being a plastic bag in case they go to Germany and need some of them. Why do the Spanish people love them as much as the Germans hate them will remain a mystery forever…
I cannot believe the snow is not more to be seen in such a short period of time. After all I will miss the slippery morning sensation and the contusions derived from falling in painfully shameful ways.
These swans are to be seen in the Landwehrkanal if you go to buy vegetables, bread, honey or funny underwear to the Turkish Market that takes place in Maybachufer Strasse every Tuesday and Friday.
In Volkspark Rehberge (U6) you can see some wild boars. You can smell them from further away as well.
There are other animals in this park, all of them are caged so they do not eat the unlikely tourists/get eaten by the unlikely tourists.
It feels good to enter the U-Bahn only to find (at last!) advertising that actually gives you good advice…
By the way… have you ever seen all those posters in the U-Bahn asking for people who is willing to try medicaments for pharmaceutical companies? How legal is that? How much do they pay? Where do they bury the corpses?
Go to Ernst Reuter Platz (U2), enter the number 7 (huge building with a telecom logo on the top) and take the lift to the 20th floor. You’ll find one of the Technische Universität’s cafeterias with good views all over Berlin.
It’s already impressive, it will be incredible in Summer!
A professor of mine just sent me this webpage:

OK! The Sun is back. It is still cold, of course, and nobody will go to the hospital due to a sunstroke… but the sun is here and we all hope it plans to stay.
As a Spanish speaking person it is always funny to observe that „the Sun“ (die Sonne) is a feminine noun in German and „the moon“ (der Mond) is a masculine noun, it is quite the opposite in Spanish. But I guess the Moon and the Sun have no gender (until proven otherwise…)
Perhaps the S-Bahn was faster, more punctual and more reliable some months ago (that’s what the locals say to everyone who wants to hear it!) but I am still amazed by how accurate the official webpage is:
www.bvg.de
It tells you when, how and almost why you can go from one place to another.
Use it and love it, but hate the S-bahn budget cuts as a local!
