Mother tongue or trying to learn? German equals fun!

Hello friends! Welcome!
Speaking or learning? German equals fun!
How?
For example. A friend of yours has his/her Birthday and you wish to give a Gift.
But wait! Think again.
Because, in German Gift means?  Poison!
So funny! And that’s probably one of the reasons why
Now some funny logic… we put shoes on are feet.
But Germans put them in their hands as well!
And in my opinion, they’re   absolutely right!
Because Handschuhe, means gloves!
There are some words in the German language, 
Which are quite lengthy. For example, 
Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung
Any guesses as to the meaning of such a long word?
Don’t think too much! Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung simply means, 
Speed limit!
In Germany, the rock is used as cloth!…. The reason?
Rock simply means; a skirt!
I believe that any good rat from the people always improves our life..... Do you agree????....
You would be thinking, have I gone mad?
How can a Rat, good/ bad, improve the life of anyone?
And why would people give such a thing to me anyway?
Because in German, Rat means advice!
What are some other funny things you find in German? Or about any other language?
Do tell me in the comments!
Be it this post or your knowledge, Sharing = caring!
Thank you. Danke!

Loving Languages!

Hello friends! How are you?
In German/Auf Deutsch. Hallo Leute! Wie geht es Ihnen?
Incredible isn’t it? beauty of Languages!
Different countries, different people… Yet united through languages!
Friends. A language, in my opinion,
Is not only just a way of communication between the people,
but also an amazing method of expressing their affection!
Speech, a unique ability of humans,
is so great that we often take it for granted!
Being able to express oneself is so satisfying, so liberating!
Languages can make us laugh! For example…
In English we say, LIGHT. Correct?
But in German that’s? licht! Interestingly amusing!
I think, languages do shape the culture. Do you agree?
Here’s what I mean. Language helps in expression.
And through this, Authors  give birth to unbelievable imaginations!
Literature not only redecorates the cultures,
But also, magnifies the beauty of words,  the gemstones of languages!
What better way to enjoy and gain knowledge from a language than through reading?
A healthy surprise! Being able to speak more than one language,
Helps the brain by preventing diseases like dementia!
Friends! would you like to continue the conversation? What cause’s you
To say,
Loving languages!

Communication? Yes. A revolution!

Hello friends! Welcome!
May god bless you with an Attitude of Gratitude and a cheery year!
Friends. Through this blog, not only do I write,
But also it’s my way to connect with you, to hold a conversation with you!
And now that I come to think of it,
This is so amazing! Communication!
With the bloom of email or social media, we take conversing with each other for granted….
But, centuries ago,
Messages would be delivered by people
Traveling a large amount of distance on foot or horseback!
Then, came letters, telegrams, telephone, mobile phone calls/text messages, emails
And nowadays, its instant messaging or social media!!!
Most of us have/are experiencing this… then why am I telling all this to you?
Because,
Even though we criticize today’s digital communication systems
By saying that they’ve brought barriers between people, that people don’t speak face to face with one another,
That youngsters are always stuck to their smartphones and the like,
In my opinion,
We all should, just once, look at the positive side.
Due to today’s social media,
A Mother can easily stay in contact with her son/daughter who’s an entire continent away and vice versa
Because of this instant messaging,
A message is forwarded many times, a public request is made
And people with their kind hearts,
Send money to an unknown person and a life is saved!!!
Negativity is all around us…
But just a simple good morning/GM message from our dear ones is watt, I think, in today’s busy times, keeps us on the move!
Keep the communication, friends, congratulations!
