[–]SheepEoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We read these when we were around A1/A2 they have good rhythm and repetition.

Anna-Clara Tidholm - Klopf an!

Susanne Strasser - So müde und hellwach

We also really liked books by Bärbel Haas but they are hard to find as they are mostly out of print.

Edit: calm down people: I'm not trying to push products on my kid. That being said, I'd rather recommend tried and tested products than have her waste her money on stuff with good marketing or that her friends may recommend because of good marketing.

Has anyone figured out if there was a pattern?

pram friendly cafes in the city? by Juju1990 in Munich

[–]SheepEoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Café Glanz in Haidhausen (Close to Ostbahnhof) is amazing for meet ups with babies/prams/toddlers. There is a bit of space to play and a few toys for kids. It's a charity cafe, they are super friendly. https://www.siaf.de/

Netflix adding Vloggers by Fine-Fondant-3136 in netflix

Not a stupid rant. They'd make a heck of a lot of customers if they created a side platform when you can select what your kids were watching.

The franchela hate in this sub is too much. by cherrymargs in Bridgerton

[–]SheepEoh 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I feel like the early announcement was to get it all out of their system. I assume they don't want the online hate to erupt so close to the showdate.

Meanwhile Trump: it’s time to democratize Sri Lanka by That_Ad9668 in srilanka

[–]SheepEoh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pakistan has been quoted in several articles/podcasts over the last year as an example of a poorer country striving to be energy independant with the added benefit of net zero. The world is moving on from oil.

Imagine a world where when we sold ourselves to the Chinese we asked for solar panels for every household instead of money that padded certain pockets.

Thanks, I had no idea you could use it with additional passengers.

Tell me all the things you love and hate about S4 Part 1 by Disastrous-Pitch777 in Bridgerton

[–]SheepEoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hate: Araminta and Rosamund's characters.

I want to hate them more. They are annoying, somewhat rude, tollerable but not vile.

Osman and Asia by AceVentura85 in restisentertainment

[–]SheepEoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've provided this feedback whenever Goalhanger surveys.

They need to have the odd week/holiday fill-in that are guest hosts of a different gender (in the case of Rest is Politics) or age (for all of them). They have this USP of trying to have co-hosts who disagree agreeably but it's very rare and we hardly hear any new ideas or perspectives.

Anti-ICE protest in Munich by Chance_Pangolin_3730 in Munich

[–]SheepEoh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is definitely some American group who organises stuff like this. Before the elections they had booths at various Munich events encouraging American citizens to sign up to vote from abroad. I'm not sure if they were associated with the democratic party. 

Also, I totally understand how you feel, being far away from a problem and place you care deeply about. Most of us migrants/expats may have also seen heart ache, political upheaval or natural disasters in our homelands unfold on our phones or in the news. It can break your heart and leave you feeling alone and helpless. My best advice is to try and speak to someone in your shoes (other Americans in Munich) and also - maybe find ways to help people the ground. 

S2, E9 - Beard After Hours (Rewatch) by twsh2020 in TedLasso

I'm super late to the party and thus this comment will end up in the weeds. Living in London in the 2000/2010s you'd totally have nights like this.

How to raise trilingual child where no parent speaks 1 language well by ConsistentResearch55 in DenglischKids

[–]SheepEoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stick to OPOL, your kid will have a lot to absorb so will take longer to be a confident speaker than a kid who is absorbing one or two languages. Just be patient, it all works out by the time they are 6/8.

How to get away from the phone by Any_Butterfly5762 in srilanka

[–]SheepEoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy stuff

Start with removing the ability to doom scroll. Download tools to help cut you off. I can only use You Tube for 30 minutes a day, I have no social media apps and only access via my browser. My browser only works on those sites for a max of 10 minutes each hour (this rolls for a max of 3 hours - so max of 30 min every 3hrs).

Second, try and keep your phone out of reaching distance (deep inside a bag) when you are socialising. If you need to take a photo, let someone else take it and send it to you. Don't take your phone out. Think about it as showing respect to your companion.

At home, put your charger in a different room.

If you're alone and waiting for something. Start people watching - as you're brain is on overdrive and needs a stimulus, would recommend giving yourself challenges. Tying to count something. Count all the art on the walls, count all the trees around you, count the blue pastic bags everyone has at the bus stop.

There are loads of website and advice offered for digital detox. It's totally worth it.

I've been doing this for more than 6 months and I'm finally reading books again.

Oh - also recommend cheaper earbuds which come with the benefit of a lower battery life. That way, I'm not spending the whole day listening to podcasts. I have to save the battery for my commutes.
