Although the book I am using to teach German is only 6 years old, it is in some ways outdated. The current lesson talks about writing postcards from holiday destinations. People, and particularly the kind of people I am teaching don’t write postcards (and probably … Continue reading I do homework, too
Six Word Saturday
so I decided to limit myself to two ruins from my hometown, all shot from the unique perspective of a big ferris wheel. The castle in the middle is Castle Windeck (aka Windy Corner) and it is over 1000 years old. The tower to the … Continue reading Spoilt for Choice
