English Walks

English Walks Englischkonversation beim Gehen mit Native Speaker "brush up your English" Schulenglisch ist ausreichend und ein Einstieg ist jederzeit möglich.

Die English Walks sind eine Englischkonversationsgruppe beim Wandern im Raum Mödling (Prießnitztal, Eichkogel). Wir wandern 90 Minuten und plaudern dabei auf Englisch über Themen, die wir gemeinsam vorschlagen (Urlaub, Wochenende, Garten, Kultur, die Pflanzen entlang des Weges...). Fehlende Vokabeln werden "eingesagt" und ich schreibe mit und schicke dann die Vokabelliste dieses Spaziergangs an al

le TeilnehmerInnen. Manchmal singen wir auch (manche hören auch nur zu) - der Liedtext wird vorbereitet, schwierige Phrasen und Wörter werden erklärt. Die English Walks finden Montag und Dienstag vormittags sowie Donnerstag nachmittags statt. Mehr dazu (Termine, Treffpunkte, Kosten) bei "Veranstaltungen" (runterscrollen bei Android bzw. am PC unter der Rubrik "Mehr" --> "Veranstaltungen"/"Events"), Anmeldung fürs Schnuppern bitte per E-Mail an [email protected]

Diskussionsrunde zu aktuellen Themen (alle 14 Tage am Freitag Abend):
Wir erarbeiten gemeinsam einen englischen Artikel zu einem aktuellen Thema (Vokabel, Phrasen, Aussprache) und diskutieren darüber. Wie bei den English Walks schreibe ich mit und schicke Ihnen dann Ihre Vokabelliste zu. Voraussichtlich alle 14 Tage an einem Dienstag Vormittag. Englische Redewendungen, Witze, Rezepte..... finden Sie auf meiner Facebookseite: https://www.facebook.com/englischtrainerinKimMeyerCech/

We discovered in an old edition of the french journal "Écoute" an article mentioning the food bowls used in the Middle Ages. The lucky ones had a hand carved food bowl and spoon of their own, which was rather rare. "DEN LÖFFEL ABGEBEN" {to pass the spoon/to kick the bucket} **) The saying dates back to a time when people owned their own personal spoons, which were often hung on a wall rack.
“Handing over” or “hanging up” the spoon signaled the end of a meal. Farmhands or maids were often lent spoon and bowl on farms. Upon termination of service (or death), it had to be returned, symbolizing the loss of one’s livelihood.
After death, the personal spoon was often passed down within the family to the youngest member.

In our discussions so far, we have noted: A fit of laughter, laughter itself, is a physical — often uncontrollable — reaction to external stimuli. However, a smile (not a malicious one) also responds to what you experience, reflecting your positive, intentional feeling of joy, friendliness and goodwill.

* While some animals, like certain seals, make sounds similar
to human laughter, many others laugh through panting, chirping{zwitschern}, or wheezing{schnaufen}.
It is primarily used to signal joy, social bonding, and that they are "just playing" during rough activities.

On May 20, 2014, twelve years ago, our "Canadian Lady," Kim, declared, "I want to hike forest trails several times a week in a relaxed atmosphere and chat in English with people in small groups." So she and Alexandra set off on the "3-Stunden-Weg" on the Anninger. We laughed it off at the time, but now we know better! It works, and she’s still at it with childlike enthusiasm. ☺️

Lilian: ... My first reaction when the AI spit out really good analysis results and comparison tables{Vergleichtstabellen} was one of shock. I’ve always considered that beeing one of my strengths: clearly distilling complexity down to the essentials{auf das Wesentliche reduzieren}... ...
That prompted us to ask AI (Gemini): Can we trust what you say? The answer was quite extensive and impressive... Here is the closing sentence:
Tip: Think of AI as a highly talented but occasionally dishonest intern{flunkernden Praktikanten}. You’re the editor-in-chief. The intern provides the draft{Entwurf}, but you’re responsible for the accuracy{Wahrheitsgehalt} and quality of the final product.

as part of our preparation: an analysis of different types of relationships with friends.
Here are the first few lines of the transcript in English.

In a 2008 study, psychologists asked participants to rate the steepness of a hill. Those who were accompanied by a good friend judged the hill to be less steep than people who were alone. This is just one of many ways friendships can change how we see and move through the world.....

Our discussion:
There are people you find likable right from the start...
whose company makes you feel at ease...
with whom you’re naturally willing to communicate and find a way to connect...
with whom it’s a pleasure to exchange ideas...
with whom it’s a pleasure to do things together...
with whom it’s a pleasure to share memories...

The degree of friendship
depends on the intensity of mutual appreciation and the frequency of contact.
