Though I’m quite experienced in reading English, I didn’t write much in it, recently (okaaay, except from three-word sentences on application forms). Soon, I’ll have to write much English stuff at university, though. So let’s start practising by blogging on the English blog more often.
(Maybe it also pushes visitor statistics on fredericiana.com… Currently it’s very seldomly visited by anyone. No wonder for it has only a handful of articles right now)
So, there’s a blog I want to recommend: It’s called German Joys (written by a law professor from Duesseldorf, Germany) and has a nice category very worth reading: “German Word of the Week”. Once a week, he very interestingly describes strange German words. It’s quite funny so reading it is not even boring for native speakers like me.
Just take a look a this week’s word: Stoibern. (Behaving like the State Minister of Bavaria, Edmund Stoiber
)
Enjoy!
