Hi Dennis, it was great talking with you this evening. You told some very interesting stories. You have an excellent grasp on grammar, and a very good vocabulary. With more practice, I believe that you will get back to the level that you were at not so long ago.
Looking forward to having more classes with you 😄
Activities
Chinesisches Essen
Chinesisches Essen hat eine reiche Geschichte. Ich mochte über die beliebtesten Gerichte in China sprechen.
Das erste ist Hühnergungbao. Die Hauptzutaten sind gehacktes Huhn, getrocknete Chili und geröstete Erdnüsse. Das zweite ist Mapo Tofu, eine chinese Mischung aus Tofukäse, Hackfleisch, gehackten Zwiebeln und Gewürzen. Das dritte ist Vonton. Seit der Zeit der Tong Dynastie wird Vonton während der Wintersonnenwende vorbereitet. Es ist Teig mit einer Füllung. Das vierte ist Chow Maine. Dieses gebratene Gericht besteht aus Nudeln, Fleisch, Zwiebel und Sellerie. Das berühmteste Gericht ist gebratene Pekingente. In Scheiben geschnitten Ente wird mit Pfannkuchen, Bohnen und Sojasouce mit Knoblauch gegessen.
Wenn sie in China sind, sollten sie diese Gerichte probieren. Das ist sehr lecker!0 votedJanuary 8, 20181- From a very first time and a regret afterwards (Part 2) Let’s do a leap in time into the year 2010. I am wearing a fine suit, shirt and tie are perfectly color matched, my shoes are carefully cleaned and in total I really look like a gentleman (by the way, I had reasons to be a gentleman because I was not alone…). But if you had seen me there, you had could noticed that I hadn’t stirred for maybe three hours. I was totally hypnotized, with goose bumps all over me and with tears in my eyes. I was sitting among 1.700 people and watching my first opera: Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball) by Giuseppe Verdi. I can’t remember if something has fascinated me in such an overwhelmingly manner from the first until the last second how this event did it. These incredibly powerful voices. A Symphony Orchestra what played every single note obviously only for me – better said it felt like so. And all this was accompanied with dramatic incidents on stage, amazing costumes, a fantastic stage design and a background choir which alone I should adore for the rest of my life… Have you ever visited an opera? You should do this! Seriously, do it as fast as you can. You all are invited to visit me in Hamburg and to go with me to our great opera house and we will dive deep into a new and fantastic universe. But there is also something I have regret after my first opera visit… I fell regret for the fact that I haven’t visited an opera before. It doesn’t matter whether Santa Claus and the Yeti have forgotten to gone to my tiny town or whether none of them do really exist… I should have visited an opera much earlier in my life!April 1, 201660
- From a very first time and a regret afterwards (Part 1) I was born and grown up in a small and innocent town somewhere in the north of Germany's nowhere. It was the time of the 1980s and whatever had happened in this decade, it had reached my hometown at least two or three years later as the rest of the world but nobody there was sad about that. Many things had happened. Important things. Things like Sony’s Walkman, Commodore’s C64 or Apple’s first Macintosh. And of course things like the Chernobyl disaster, the Tiananmen Square Massacre or the Fall of Berlin Wall. I guess the first ones were responsible for my later interest in technical stuff and I think as well that I was too young to understand the importance of these last ones. What had in fact really gripped me at that time was that we get a couple of new private television programs beside the three public television channels which we only had. And so for many years my cultural horizon existed of such kind of things. Opera was beyond everything what was thinkable in this small place. Off course I had heard about it but they had told me about Santa Claus and about the Yeti as well, and none of them have I ever sawn in my town and so I had put the opera in the same drawer as those possible but highly unlikely things.April 1, 201620
Eine Grafik beschreiben
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Die "Stiftung Lesen" hat uns zwei Grafiken gezeigt. Sie geben Informationen über den Prozentsatz der jungen Leuten, die mit oder ohne PC lesen.Die erste Grafik zeigt bei den Lesern mit PC an erster Stelle Kinder von 11 bis 20 Jahre. In der Übersicht zu den Lesern ohne PC sind diese Kinder jedoch erst auf dem dritten Platz. Bei Kindern von 1 bis 5 Jahren ist es genau anders herum, sie sind auf Platz drei bei den Lesern mit PC und auf Platz 1 bei den Lesern ohne PC.
Interessant ist, dass es keinen Unterschied zwischen Kinder von 6 bis 11 Jahre gibt, die gern mit PC oder ohne PC lesen.
Die Zahl der Leute, die älter als 20 Jahre sind und mit PC lesen ist höher als die Zahl der Leute, die ohne PC lesen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen.0 votedMarch 17, 20161- How do I get to the Dom? If you visit Hamburg and you ask this question, you should be sure what time of the years it is. Normally you will get a directions to the St. Mary's Cathedral (cathedral in German = Dom). I think Hamburg is not very well known for its cathedral like the cities of Cologne, Aachen or Speyer, but it has such one. When you are visiting Hamburg in Winter, Summer or Spring, probably you will get the directions to something very different: the directions to the ‘Hamburger Dom’ and this means one of Germany’s biggest traveling funfair! ‘Hamburger Dom’ is celebrate three times a year and it takes four weeks each time. It has in total some ten Million visitors per year and you will find over 250 rides, roller-coasters, fun-shooting-ranges, lottery stalls, snack stands and whatever else you like there. Each individual one of this three fairs has its own atmosphere and its own compilation of attractions, so they offer you every time a new event. If you are in Hamburg while the ‘Hamburger Dom’ is there too, you should visit it, it’s great! Let me explain why Hamburg’s funfair called like the German word for cathedral: Dom… Hamburg is an ancient trading city and like other trading cities in the Middle Age and later they had in regular intervals big markets to sell and buy whatever they need, instead of permanent traders or stores such we have them nowadays. It was usually common that this markets looked for shelter in the cathedrals if the weather was too bad to have them in the outside – the cathedrals were the biggest covered buildings at that time. And beside the traders and craftsmen there were also clowns, artists and quacks to bring the folks pleasure and diversions from their hard lives. The markets disappeared over the time or rather the became less relevant for the trading, but what has remained till now was the phrase ‘cathedral’ as the name for the place where you can find the kind of clowns, artists and quacks at our time. Of course there is no regular cathedral or any other church on this funfair, but the place where the “Hamburger Dom” resided now is called ‘Heiligengeistfeld’, in English: ‘Field of the Holy Spirit’. Whether or not you can find the Holy Spirit during your visit of the Hamburger Dom is another story…March 17, 201630
- I fell in love with... radio When I was a child - maybe in the age of 10 or somewhat around this – I got a special gift, which I couldn’t let it go for the next decades of my future life. It was one of these kind of things to which we create a so purely personal affair, that it is almost impossible for anybody to understand that mystical connection. And even today, almost 30 years later, it is also very difficult to explain what was happened on this day and all the time since then. This gift was a radio, one from those which we called in German „Weltempfänger“(world receiver). It was my one and only door to a new world… and how I understood much time later, my personal door into a close relationship with many kinds of new technologies! Just for the protocol : with a world receiver you can receive radio stations from all over the world, if they are sending on a short wave frequency. Radio stations in many countries did this. They sent information and reportages about their own country and people – also in German. And I was keen to find and hear the German ones. Almost every night hidden under my blanket, one ear strongly pressed onto the loudspeaker, because so I was able to hear the voices with minimum loudness and my parents couldn’t catch me while I did this. And that was the point… to search, find, and hear without any rules or interferences from the grownups. A very huge feeling of personal freedom in the universe of a ten-year-old shy boy, with a large ugly pair of glasses and without any talent for every kind of sport or whatever was so cool at this time. My own borderless freedom under my blanket that I did not need to share with anyone. It was the beginning of a never ending love to spoken words in the middle of my head. Short wave has gone, Podcast was coming. And with these Podcasts my interests changed fundamentally. But my passion is the same! Whenever I put headphones into my ears, I feel like a ten-year-old boy, hiding under a blanket, sheltered in a place where nothing can disturb…January 20, 201620
From an exhibition with a little disappointment
I visited an art exhibition here in Hamburg yesterday. Its titel was “From Poussin to Monet. The colors of France”. Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) was one of the leading French painters in the 17th century during the period of baroque and Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the founders of French Impressionism, which is one of the most important painting periods for nowadays understanding of design and of visual illustrations. Between these two painters there was a timeframe of three very eventfully centuries including Luis XIV, the French Revolution and Napoleon. Therefore “The colors of France” means not only the influence of French art inside Europe, it also means the influence of those politically and culturally upheaval toward French art.
To realize that social changes and evolutions in arts are two size of a coin that is one of the reasons why I am very in fond of arts. Every time it is exciting to find out how a painter or an art period was affected by things that happened in their time or to find out in which way both were influenced by their time. The goal of this exhibition I visited was the same: to show how arts and society are inseparable tied up together. So far so good! But this goal was to much big for a single exhibition with some 200 paintings. There were countless very important painters and a couple of huge painting periods (with a complicated puzzle of sub-periods!) during this long time! So this exhibition could only be a small spotlight, maybe a kind of an introduction for a series of many other exhibitions which will follow the same main theme. But none other similar exhibition will follow after that one, what a pity...0 votedJanuary 16, 20160- From an exhibition with a little disappointment I visited an art exhibition here in Hamburg yesterday.
