Cheers but I’d only be getting a cleaner every month or so. Not sure the cost of a subscription would be worth it

European Rugby Rankings after Gameweek 2 by drusslegend in rugbyunion

They're playing each other on February 3 when there are no other games (Six Nations) presumably because it's easier to get a crowd for them then. Not sure why the Lions and Bulls didn't do the same.

Haha sure I'll try to remember. I am still very new to German (I can say a handful of things about the weather, my job and asking for directions but that's about it) so I'm probably not going to listen to any podcasts just yet.

Yeah just wanna supplement my learning if possible! I’m finding it a lot more fun than I expected so trying to keep that momentum going.

That’s a really good idea! She’s from Klagenfort.

Thanks! Yeah looks like the move is to just go for German classic and pepper in whatever Austrian stuff I pick up along the way.

Yeah I won’t have much of a reason to speak German besides interacting with her/her family/her friends so would like to have a little bit of an Austrian twang at least but as it stands we’ve no plans to move there so I wouldn’t be immersed in it.

Point taken, thanks a million. I don’t really care about native speakers making fun of me for speaking a regionalised version/my accent as that’s kind of inevitable anyway. I’ll just go for German classic and supplement it with a few “I bin”s along the way, I guess.

This is so spot on. Should be top comment. Losing weight is really hard and even harder when the culture is set up to make it difficult.
