Hallo! Wie geht es euch?

I have a new found love for German sayings! I’ve been collecting some of my favourites since August started! It’s actually really interesting to see how similar some of the sayings are, but some of them are also vastly different.

Here are three of my favourite sayings so far: “Auch eine verregnete Nacht ist voller Sterne” “Even a rainy night is full of stars” This is very similar to “every cloud has a silver lining”. Essentially it means that in times of adversity, there is always hope and there are always positives. I like this quote because it reminds me A Court of Thorns and Roses (anyone else?)

“Übung macht den Meister” “Practice makes a master” This is the German’s version of “Practice makes perfect”! I think this useful is so useful, especially when learning a language!

“Anfangen ist leicht, Beharren eine Kunst” “Starting is easy, persistence is an art” I think this one is pretty self-explanatory but I love it because just like “Übung macht den Meister” it can be so useful in the context of learning a language!

My German Playlist:

I’ve always believed that the best way to learn a language is to expose one’s self to media in your target language. Whether that be youtube videos, movies, TV-Shows or even music, a little bit of exposure can go a long way and it’s amazing to see how much of the language you can pick up! 

I’ve been exposing myself to A LOT of German media and one thing that I’ve recently collected are some German songs. There are actually quite a lot of good German music out there, you just have to look! I thought I would share my German playlist here and help you guys add some music listening to your german-learning routines!

I hope you like my music (don’t judge my taste :) )! There is music from rap to the latest German hits to dubstep! Hopefully, you’ll be able to find at least one good song in my playlist! My playlist is called “Luftkuss” and it is on Spotify! 

I need to add more German music so tell me if you have any recommendations!
