Day 24: die Höhle. I’ve been binge watching Dark on Netflix, and honestly it’s my new favorite show. The word that constantly recurs is die Höhle, the cave. I highly recommend the show. If you love moody foreign films with a the occasional dash (or more) of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Secret Societies, and Time Travel, mixed with a juicy cop drama, then this show is so for you. And it’s all in German, so I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve watched it with and without English subtitles just to get a sense of the dialogue as it translates, and I’ve got to say it’s weirdly poetic and interesting. Anyway, Höhle!
Day 11: der Fuchs. The fox!
Day 17: Ländlich. So I’m the son of a cattle rancher from Nebraska. The nearest town is 35 miles away. So my word to describe my hometown is “ländlich”, meaning ‘rural’. This is a word I didn’t know I needed!

Day 23: buchstabieren! To spell! It sounds like to stab the book, which from an English speaking perspective, isn’t too far from how I feel when reading and learning compound words in German! Lol.
Day 20: die Geige, the violin! What are other good German instruments whose names are vastly different than their English translations?
Day 20: die Nachrichten! The news! This is another word I always seem to forget!
Kartoffellöffel: potato spoon! Always and forever my favorite word in German. #leadwithlanguages #deutsch #german #bilingual #Languagelearning #linguistics #kartoffellöffel #lieblingswort
