Some thoughts about language and …

Wie wäre es mit Deutsch?

德语 怎么样?(déyǔ zěnmeyàng? Literally: German language how about?)

Del tedesco, che ne dici?

“Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen.” (Goethe)  (“He who doesn’t know foreign languages knows nothing about his own”.)

This is a blog about German, but also about other languages, their relationship and much more. Languages are not single events, but all related to each other, in some way or another.

I don’t want to add another blog about language learning – there are already so many around. Some parts might be interesting also for language learners, but it is not the main purpose. It is more about anything concerning German and other languages, about curious and odd things I find interesting, with no preferences for certain aspects.

To write a blog about German in English might seem a little bit weird, but it was just the most practical way. Actually, I would like to write it in all these languages, but then, very likely nobody would or could read it.
