Swimming!
I’ve started a new sport this year and I’m happier than I could expect!
I learnt to swim at school when I was about 10 years old, but my technique was pretty basic and I was not confident at all. For example, I didn’t put my head under the water, as I didn’t like it, but you can’t have an efficient swim by this way and you will be quickly exhausted.
However, I love swimming in pools or at the beach during holidays, or even just the pleasure of floating in the water. So I had that idea in my head for many years that one day I would take some lessons to improve my swimming skills.
On last September, I moved in a new house and by chance there is a public swimming pool at less than ten minutes by foot. So, no excuse anymore!
I subscribed the lessons for a year, one hour a week except during the school holidays when there are no lessons. However, I hadn’t imagined learning swimming would be so difficult at the very beginning!
I really struggled to manage my breathing. Nothing could be more logical than exhaling under the water and inhaling above it. Nevertheless, in practice my brain was overwhelmed by trying to do the right movement for every body part at the right time. As soon as I lost my concentration, the punishment was immediate : I swallowed water, I choked and I panicked!
Thanks to the coach’s exercices and support, I haven’t given up and I’ve even made such progress than I’m now able to do a swim lap — 25 metres — almost without a pause for 3 swimming styles — front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.
I’m eager to improve myself even more until I can glide over the water!

On The Verge of Death
A few weeks ago, me and my family were having a splendid sunday evening: After attending an organ concert, we went to dine in an Italian restaurant I had found online several days before. It had thousands of excellent reviews and was located in the very heart of Moscow. At first, everything was just perfect: We had ordered our meals and were more than satisfied with both the prices and the food quality. It was rather cold outside, so we also got some fruit tea to warm us up. As I was finishing my third cup of this delicious beverage, I noticed some small glass fragments at the bottom of the cup. Yes, some glass fragments! In my third cup! I instantly felt my stomach growling and, becoming aghast, looked at the glass teapot and noticed that one part of it was missing. Now, I understand that the drink must have been so scalding that that part could just imperceptibly break and fall inside the teapot. The most terrifying fact was that I did not know the amount of glass I had consumed, if any. I can not describe that ineffable feeling of fear and apprehenshion one his covered with in such situations. Everything went well eventually, and I didn't have a single symptom of any intestinal problems. The whole story is so absurd and unprobable that I was not even sure about posting it here. I think I will never forget this evening.

La barzelletta del giorno: l'ombrello
Paziente: Dottore, la mia ragazza è incinta, ma usiamo sempre protezioni e il preservativo non si è mai rotto. Com'è possibile?
Medico: Mi permetta di raccontarle una storia: "C'era una volta un cacciatore che portava sempre con sé un fucile ovunque andasse. Un giorno prende l'ombrello invece del fucile ed esce a caccia. Ad un certo punto, un leone salta fuori dai cespugli. Per spaventare il leone, il cacciatore punta l'ombrello come un fucile y spara al leone, che subito muore!
Paziente: Sciocchezze! Qualcun altro deve aver sparato al leone...
Medico: Bene! Lei ha capito la storia. Prossimo paziente, per favore...

Non sono più capace di oziare.
Quanto spesso notate dei cambiamenti in voi stessi? Ho notato un cambiamento spiacevole nella mia mente, avvenuto l'anno scorso. Ho capito che non riesco a godere del tempo libero quando non c'è niente da fare e da cui preoccuparmi. Qualche anno fa, ho lasciato il mio lavoro alla fine della primavera e ho deciso di riposarmi per tutta l’estate. È stata un'estate fantastica: ho fatto un sacco di cose: ho studiato l’italiano e il francese, ho letto numerosi libri e ho viaggiato nei dintorni della mia città. L'anno scorso la situazione si è ripetuta: ho lasciato il mio lavoro l'ultimo giorno di maggio e non vedevo l’ora di un'estate libera per riposarmi e divertirmi. Ma qualcosa non andava; ho scoperto che ormai avevo smesso di provare piacere nelle cose che una volta amavo. Avevo intenzione di passeggiare durante la notte, andare in campagna con il primo treno del mattino, leggere molti libri e giocare ai videogiochi preferiti, ma quando ho capito che ero assolutamente libero e non ero più obbligato ad andare al lavoro ogni mattina, non volevo più fare nulla. Non mi interessava niente, mi sedevo solo sul divano e cliccavo sui video su YouTube; non riuscivo a iniziare a fare niente. Mi sembra di aver smesso di apprezzare il mio tempo, perciò quando ho trovato un nuovo lavoro, ho iniziato a fare di nuovo tutte le cose che amo. Ora, nonostante lavoro ogni giorno e abbia solo tre o quattro ore libere ogni sera, studio le lingue, leggo i libri e gioco al computer molto più spesso di quando avevo intere settimane libere. Spero che questa non sia la spia di un problema mentale.

I need some advice for video topics
I learned a lot from the feedback you guys provided on my videos.
I've never gotten that small and vividly detailed feedback from any other place, so I really want to continue this way.
However, after uploading today's video, I found a problem.
I had thought the topic of this video was too boring, and it might be a burden for you to correct my English speaking. Thus, I couldn't finish the video as well as before. I can even hear my hesitation in the video.
I'm seriously seeking your advice on my video topics.
Suggestions on any topic can be considered, except for political and personal matters. As long as I can make it and it won't disturb others.
P.S.
This is the video I thought was too boring: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Hka7vdGI6qQ

I had a salad bowl for lunch today.
This is my favorite on a working day. I can order it through my smartphone before visiting the shop, freely customize the ingredients, and also choose two types of dressings.
The only negative point is the cost. This salad bowl is a little bit too expensive for lunch.
That's why I get this as a small gift for myself on the day when I really work hard or face too many tasks.

Dans un café
Je vais bien. Mais je me sentirai mieux après un café.
Allons dans ce café-ci, il a l'air mignon
Pourriez-vous me servir deux cappuccinos, s'il vous plaît ?
Oh, j'avais oublié, et un bretzel aussi. Pour consommer ici, s'il vous plaît.
C'est tout. Je paierai par carte, s'il vous plaît.
Peut-on manger à l'intérieur ?
Les tables-là, sont-elles libres ?

Mein Traumberuf
Mein Traumberuf ist Historikerin. Ich recherchiere gerne in Bibliotheken und Archiven und es ist mir egal wenn ich alleine arbeite. Für meinen Job benutze ich mein Laptop und viele alten Bücher und Dokumente lese. Ich liebe meinen Beruf weil es mir spaß macht über Gesichte zu schreiben und anderen Menschen etwas über Gesichte beizubringen.

Rivali
Ho visto un emisione di televisione con il mio fratello e la mia sorella che si chiama Rivali. Sono gli studenti di terzo anno (primo di liceo, non dopo) e fanno molte cose stupide per essere rebelli contro la preside della scuola, signora Romagnoli. Non è molto interessante ma mi piace che posso guardarlo con il mio fratello minore e la mia sorella minore che hanno dodici e tredici anni. Io vivo in Canada allora è bene per imparare la lingua e cultura italiana. Era una scena divertente dove gli bambini italiani hanno parlato con gli bambini spagnoli. Non conosco la lingua spagnola ma non era difficile per capire tutta la scena.
Stasera guarderò un altro episodio. Spero che posso imparare più!

Zum Kino gehen oder sich Filme zuhause anzuschauen?
Ohne Zögern schaue ich mir lieber Filme zuhause an! In den letzten Jahren ist das Kino unglaublich teuer geworden. Die Wahl an Filmen ist begrenzt — und viele von ihnen sind gar nicht gut). Außerdem gibt es oft Probleme mit ungebildeten Vollidioten, die in den Saalen unruhig und laut sind. Zuhause schaue ich mir an, was ich will, wenn ich will, und jeder Video-on-Demand-Film ist billiger als eine Kinokarte. Was respektloses Verhalten betrifft, muss ich nur auf den Katen aufpassen, der manchmal sich auf die Tastatur legt. In solchen Momenten verlangt er nach Liebkosungen oder er will einfach „hallo“ sagen... Wie könnte ich ihm verübeln?

Wie machst du gern Urlaub?
Im Urlaub reise ich mit meiner Familie. Ich fahre mit meiner Mutter, meiner Cousine, meinem Cousin und meiner Tante. Manchmal fahre ich allein ins Kaufhaus oder in den Park.
Nächsten Monat fahren wir nach Pagudpud. Ich werde andere Kleidung mitbringen, um den See zu genießen.
Wir fahren mit dem Auto oder selten mit dem Bus. Normalerweise reisen wir von Dezember bis Januar. Mein Cousin fährt, und wir reisen zusammen. Wir essen gerne bei Zwischenstopps.
Wir waren schon in Bolinao, Tagaytay und Rizal. Manchmal gehen wir gern essen und probieren Buffets.
Und du? Wie möchtest du deinen Urlaub verbringen? Was ist dein Lieblingsort von den Orten, die du besucht hast?

Mi vida
Hace seis meses (desde julio) yo y mi novia dejémos nuestra casa y nuestro trabajo para ir de viaje para todo el mundo haciendo volontariado.
Fuimos en espana, svizzera, turchia, romania, irlanda y muchos mas paises. La idea es esta: trabajamos mas o menos cuatro o cinco oras por dia, por cinco dia a la semana, y nos dan una cama y comida. Usualmente las personas che hacen esto quieren tener uno scambio de cultura, hacer cosas juntos o algo asì, entonces la experienca es usualmente maravillosa.
En unos meses terminarémos de viajar por Europa y iremos probablemente en Medio oriente o Asia, no sé.

Eine Übung von meinem B2 Kurs
Ich besuche einen B2-Kurs online. Wir machen oft viele Schreiben Übungen aber meine Lehrerin korregiert alles nicht. Ich möchte wissen, was ich in meiner Übung falsch gemacht habe, um sie zu korrigieren. Deswegen, schreibe ich sie hier.
Jetzt bin ich Stadtführerin in Köln. Ich mache zwei verschiedene Führungen auf English: eine allgemeine Köln Tour und eine Mittelalterliche Gesichts tour. Da ich allein und selbstständig arbeite, könnte ich meine eigene Arbeitszeiten und Schichten entscheiden. Normalerweise, würde ich vier oder fünf Tage pro Woche von 16:15 bis 21:00 Uhr arbeiten. Ich arbeite lieber im Woche aber manchmal arbeite am Samstag und Sonntag auch. Die Kunden sind meistens freundlich und nett. Meine Kollegen sind auch sehr nett und hilfreich. Ich mag mein Job da ich Menschen aus den ganzen Welt kennenlernen können und kann auch meine wissen über Geschichte weitergeben.

Even though I'm still learning English… 😑
Even though I'm still learning English…,
I want to try to study Spanish too.
However I'm struggling to create English sentences and I can’t also speak English.
But!!!!! I’ll do my best.
So I downloaded an app and gave it a shot.
This app starts with simple sentences, not words like "morning" or "water", so I’m not sure which word is which part of speech unless I check.
First of all, I’m going to memorize there phrases and I’ll keep studying it little by little.
I’ve been told that if you get stuck with your English studies, you should try learning another language.
I don’t remember who told me. lol
