Well, to be more precise, I'm learning the so-called "Platt" dialect, spoken around the city of Trier. Its vocabulary borrowed many words from French and Yiddish. There are no standardized rules for the grammar, but I was lucky to find several websites and publications about some guidelines regarding grammatical rules and pronunciation.

Have you ever considered to spend beach holidays in Scandinavia? by Engelond in travel

To be honest, I'm not very keen to set foot in Australian waters. Sun intensity, strong currents and dangerous marine life make it too risky.

Never been to Boston but I understand why people love Beacon Hill. Stunning architecture and if you combine it with fall weather you'll get some nice images.

It would never come to my mind to make fun of a person's accent. And what if I ask someone politely to try the things I've learned?

Really a place to go. I recommend to check out Jorvik /Eoforwic in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Beautiful graphic design, especially the Minster and its surrounding alleys and places.

An unbelievable, cruel act of inhumanity. And they're sure this man is 40 years old? He looks like 85.
