Language

[watervole]

 I'm back in learning German mode.  Helps my stress levels - which are way too high after COP26...

 And cheerfully making mistakes...But it's good, because I keep learning.

 

For some reason, I find poetry is a good way of learning the language.

'ie' versus 'ei' -- tends to be a very important distinction in German, and very frequently confused as interchangeable by English-speakers :-(

(Hence all the references to Professor 'Tolkein'... whose family were, I believe, originally Tollkühns)
