Willkommen zum Kanal. Dieses Lied ist ein deutscher Schlager von 2003, gesungen für das Partytier in dir. Ich glaube, was mich daran reizt, ist das schnelle Deutsch und die Erinnerungen, die ich damit verbinde. The intention behind this song (think Girls-Gone-Wild), is certainly nothing I care to encourage, but it's a classic German hit from 2003 that I enjoy for the upbeat, fun and simple melody. In German we'd call this tune an ear-worm (ein Ohrwurm) because it's so irresistibly catchy. I must admit that sharing this with you is like sharing a guilty pleasure of some sort. Please leave a comment and let me know if this video is helpful or entertaining to you in any way. Viel Glück beim Deutschlernen.

Please check out this wonderful German song that gives us insight into life as a coal miner in the final years of communist East Germany (the DDR / Deutsche Demokratische Republik). egal = equal Mir ist egal = I don't care / it's (all) the same to me Das war egal = That didn't matter There's some colloquial (spoken) German here: aufn = auf den 'ne = eine warn = waren (were) Konjunktiv II von schlafen (to sleep)- schlief er (if he were to sleep / if he slept)
Spanish Syntax and topic questions: Using interrogatives to form questions with an inverted subject3/15/2023
Hola a todos, In this video we're learning interrogative pronouns which stand in for information we want to find out. Just like in English, you use specific question words when you inquire about specific information in a sentence, such as who, how many, where, why, etc. In addition, we'll form yes and no questions that do not make use of an interrogative. These questions start with a verb (action word) and are asking directly about whether certain actions take place. Here the subject of the verb (the person doing the action) takes a back seat and may be relegated to the end of the sentence, unlike English. Watch this video and follow along to be more comfortable with this particular skill.
Il ragazzo della via Gluck (Adriano Celentano) Learn Italian culture and language, music with Aaron3/13/2023
Buonasera e benvenuti al mio canale di Youtube dove spiego le lingue stranieri per mezzo della musica che amo.
In this video I present a favorite Italian song by Adriano Celentano and give you an idea of what it means. I also demonstrate the pronunciation by singing the tune. Give it a listen today!
Hola a todos, In Spanish, an infinitive verb consists of just one word and always ends in the letter -R. Here we learn -AR verbs. The inflections (various personal forms) of this group of verbs share the same thematic vowel, "A". This is the largest group of verbs in Spanish by far! Literally thousands of words fit into this paradigm, so learning this will boost your speaking skills significantly. In this skill we are learning the present (indicative) tense, which is the most common and useful in the language, so you'll be able to talk about what you, I and other people do after learning this skill! In this video I complete three different exercises in just a few minutes by conjugating verbs to match their subject.

Aaron BurnsI'm an entrepreneurial linguist and musician, a European in a former life, and an indefatigable conversationalist (like June). I'm available for hire as coach, teacher, writer, editor, analyst, consultant, marketeer, content specialist, translator, interpreter, MC, facilitator or performer. This blog is a portfolio of my interest and abilities in various languages of which I have extensive knowledge. I am also a student of several other languages that I am less intimately familiar with and they all bring me great joy. I currently hold degrees in Language and Literature as well as in Vocal Music Performance, both fields in which poetics and interpretation are no strangers. Archives
