Ist Schweizerdeutsch oder "Hochdeutsch" deine Muttersprache? (Nur aus Neugier)

Gute Frage! Ich würde sagen Schweizerdeutsch.

Vokabeln lernen mit Karteikarten - aber anders!

Virtuelle Karteikarten sind toll, und es gibt jede Menge Programme dafür (Ediscio,
Cobocards, B-Cards, Anki, Vokker, usw.), mal ganz davon abgesehen dass es mittlerweile
unzählige Apps zum erlernen neuer Vokabeln gibt. Ich bin da etwas altmodisch und lerne
lieber mit "echten" Karteikärtchen aus Papier. Aber wo aufbewahren? Wie den überblick
bewahren? Ich habe eine coole Lösung entdeckt, die ich nicht geheim halten möchte. Es
handelt sich um die Croco-Box 2-6-19 von HAN Bürogeräte. Zugegeben, das Ding
ist etwas teuer, aber wer nicht gerade handwerklich begabt ist, um sich ein hölzernes
ästchensystem zu bauen, der wird wohl an diesem Produkt viel Freude haben. Das Prinzip
heisst 2-6-19 weil man an den Tagen 2, 6 und 19 die jeweilige Vokabel wiederholt. Nach
dem Lernen schiebt man das Kästchen mit den Karten um eine Position in der Box weiter.
Falls die Vorstellung davon etwas schwer fällt, schaut doch einfach auf die Website
(dort gibt es sogar ein Video). Die Box mag zwar ca. € 25.- kosten (z.B. bei Amazon),
aber sie ist sehr robust und es macht Spass damit zu lernen. Die Aufbewahrungsbox
komplettiert das Set.
Wer allerdings eine grössere Aufbewahrungsbox benötigt, der ist wohl mit der ULAS-Box
vom Kosmopolit Verlag gut bedient, da man darin über 6000 Karteikarten aufbewahren
kann. (ULAS: Universelles Lern- und Archivierungssystem, Kosmopolit-Verlag).
Allerdings ist mir dieser Kasten für ca. € 70.- leider etwas teuer.

Succes!

While I was brushing my teeth this morning I realised that I was already thinking in
Dutch! This is amazing, because it happened unconsciously. Even if I'm lagging miles
behind
of what I had set myself as a goal, one could say that there is already some
kind of process of language assimilation taking place.

How do you realise you're making progress in learning your target language?
Feel free to write about your experience!

Using Skype to practise languages

I forgot to write about a nice talk I had with m32amir on Wednesday 25th. We spoke about
languages, about language learning, about being a polyglot and about our knowledge. We
spent a bit more than an hour speaking in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish
and a bit of Portuguese. I must say that m32amir is an inspiring example for all
language learners. It was a pleasure to speak to a fellow polyglot, and I'm looking
forward to having the chance to speak to him again.

NL: Ik had een proefwerkweek die niet succesvol was. Maar ik zat elke dag in de trein en heb intensief Deense audio's beluisterd. Met als gevolg dat ik overdag regelmatig in het Deens gedacht heb.

Identify my Schwyzerdütsch

For those wanting to learn a bit more about Swiss-German, here you have three websites related to Swiss-German and its different dialects. The first one shows the range of variety of Swiss-German throughout the country. The
second website offers text and sound samples, and the third is a dictionary.

Identify my Schwyzerdütsch - Dialects from CH (Chochichäschtli-Orakel)
Text & sound samples from all over the country
Schweizerdeutsches Wörterbuch

Fancy a challenge? Try to understand this spoken text passage from the Lötschental!
