Frage
Seit einigen Tagen bin ich demotiviert und lerne nicht zu viel wie früher. Was macht ihr, wenn euch so etwas passiert?
In zwei Monaten muss ich die Telc C1 Prüfung ablegen, jedoch fehlt es mir seit einigen Tagen die Motivation, weiterzumachen. Ich kann mich nicht richtig gut konzentrieren und muss ständig Pausen machen. Habt ihr also Tipps für mich?

Happiness: Ginger cat
Today I have realized that all my texts here are pessimistic. I think I should balance things out. I'm going to write a few posts about what I consider happiness. Life includes some worthy things.
Today's topic is simple - my cat.
When I was about to graduate from university, I was looking for a new home, because I wouldn't be allowed to live in a dormitory anymore. I came across posts about animals in shelters on social networks.
Once I saw him - a perfect ginger cat. He was purring and demanding cuddles in the video. I adore affectionate, ginger cats. It was my dream thoughout my studies. There were a lot of photos of such cats in my Pinterest. Maybe it's just a consequence of my admiration for lions, who knows...
So we took him, although the volunteer was a little bit strange.
My cat's name is Spiridon. Neither my boyfriend nor I chose the name. The volunteer, I guess, had named him. But we call him Ginger. It suits him much more. He's Spiridon only in his vet records.
Ginger's past is a mystery. All we know is that he was in a critical condition. Vets had to trim his ears, because they were frost-bitten seriously. And, as we knew much later, he had awful gingivitis. Vets had to remove all teeth except four of them. It cost 15 thousand rubles. That's a pretty big amount of money in Russia, believe me. But we were glad to help our cat. Don't worry, he eats without problems.
He's funny and so loud. He meows all the time, excluding his own sleeping hours and "pats" time. We think he used to be a singer or a politician in a previous life, because he's such a chatterbox. Ginger can meow in so many ways.
He can jump on you demanding your attention and affection. He's impudent when he wants something. On the other hand, Ginger is timid. It's quite a contrast.
I think he was left in the street; he almost died in that basement... We're lucky to have Ginger. And I'm happy, when I notice contentment and devotion in his eyes while I'm patting him. My little lion :)

Diller öğrenmesi hakkında bir efsane
Burada zaten birçok diller öğrenme efsanesi hakkında yazdım. Bugünler birçok insan Duolingo ve Babbel gibi applarla bir dilin öğrenmek mümken olduğunu düşünüyor. Bana göre, zamanımızın en büyük efsane. Elbette, eğer yurt dışındaki tatil için birkaç kelime öğrenmek isteseniz, bu applar sinize yardım edibilir. Ama akıcı biçimde konuşmak iseseniz, yararsızdır. Onlar bağlamsız kalime hazinesini öğretir ve dilbilgisini öğretmez. Reddit'te tamamen yanlış Duolingo cümlelerinin örneklerini gördüm. Cidden öğrenmek için iyi bir metot değiller.

Dead singers could sing again.
Currently, we are used to seeing how good (or bad) I.A could give us technological advancement. Many things which seemed impossible, now could happen!
And one of them is that the dead singers “could sing again” with I.A fans took their voice and used to sing current songs or say something. I remember one time, when I saw a video where Freddy Mercury from Queen, singing beat it, by Michael Jackson. It was beautiful, and sounded almost perfect. It can easily confuse someone who doesn't know. Of course, we need to be conscious and take care about what we are doing. Is that illegal or not?
Our voice is unique and can't be used for bad purposes, like fake ads, I seriously believe, in the future, if this has, for example, an official company to carry these voices. This could be a nice tool to hear the dead singers again.

Living Forever.
Who never gives a serious thought about eternal life? In this context, imagine if you find a mysterious potion which those who drink, will earn eternal life. Your body in your best shape, appearance and mind, and the most important thing: you can’t die, nothing can kill you, so much as diseases or old age. For some philosophies, it sounds very exciting, the possibility to have unlimited time to do whatever you want, achieve all goals, and live all eras. See unexpected things, like: Humans colonize other planets, flying cars and robots.
However, for others, it seems more like a curse than a blessing, they said: the value of life it's do all you can do until you die, life is one and so fragile and fast, living and realizing you can die someday. I said before that you could see beautiful things, but the opposite also can happen. You could see the disgrace of humanity, wars, global warming, hunger and natural disasters. Not existing right or wrong, just theories, the final decision it’s completely yours.
And for you, what do you choose? you’ll drink or not?

Feiern
Heute hat mich meine Sprachpartnerin gefragt, welche Feiertage ich feiere. Bisher habe ich noch nie wirklich darüber nachgedacht, aber tatsächlich keine! Ohne Zweifel „feiern“ ich und meine Familie unsere Geburtstage und treffen uns immer an Silvester, worauf ich mich schon immer freue. Aber ganz ehrlich gesagt verspüre ich dann kein echtes Feiergefühl.
Wahrscheinlich als Kind habe ich meine Geburtstage begieriger erwartet, aber lediglich wegen der Geschenken und der Partys.
Ich behaupte nicht, dass ich nie feiere: wenn es einen bedeutenden Anlass gibt, gehe ich gerne aus dem Trott und mache etwas Außergewönliches. Doch scheint mir meist ein Datum nicht bedeutend genug zu sein.

Reconciliation in Canada
In Manitoba, and probably in other provinces, the speaker would read a few words announcing that they recognize the rights of Indigenous people and apologize for the harm caused by residential schools. I respect all the policy and law in this country, however, I personally do not used to this kind of announcement. That's too much for me, I really don't like to hear it everywhere. If I could, I would advise that this announcement can be made only at some special events, like National Day or sports games. I highly suspect this kind of apology has become annoying to some of indigenous people.

多文化共生について
多文化共生とは、ただ異なる国々の人々が同じ都市に生活することではないと思います。もっとも深い意味は、「共存」から「共生」へ行きます。
本当の共生とは、異文化への好奇心を超えてより重要な一歩を踏み出ます。相互の行動を理解してみます。これこそ、「自分中心」という妄想を放棄することです。腰を据えて話を聞来ます。 摩擦の中で自分を調整する。
これこそ、「あなたたち」と「私たち」という区分を超えて、一つの「私たち」へ至るプロセスです。挑戦は少なくありませんが、私たちは差異の中で協力できる時、社会はより豊かな活力と弾力性を発揮します。包容的な社会を共に築くことは、最終には私たち一人一人が恩恵を受けることになります。

Retour sur le dîner
Je suis heureuse de pouvoir dire que j'ai réussi à faire de bonnes pizzas. J'ai utilisé une recette de pâte recommandée qui était très facile. J'adore faire la pâte à la levure boulangère et la regarder gonfler. J'aime l'odeur de la levure aussi. Finalement, j'ai fait une pizza mozzarella, chèvre, bleu et olives et une autre mozzarella, tomates et poivron rouge. J'ai utilisé une sauce Provençale car ce n'était pas chère, mais je l'ai trouvée un peu trop liquide pour une pizza. Vu que c'est bien passé, je continuerai à faire des pizzas maison mais la prochaine fois je ferai la sauce aussi. J'ai déjà goûté une pizza avec une sauce à la crème et moutarde à l'ancienne avec des patates et des lardons et je l'ai adorée, donc j'imagine à la recréer.
En même temps, j'ai fait des cookies avec les dernières pêches d'été dans mon jardin. J'ai imaginé que les cookies ne feraient pas plaisir à mon mari car ils étaient forts en cannelle et il n'aime pas ça, mais finalement il les a adoré. J'ai découvert que beaucoup de Français n'aiment pas la cannelle. Cette épice est très répandue dans les Amériques (au moins au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Mexique). Je n'avais jamais rencontré quelqu'un qui n'aimait pas la cannelle avant de déménager en France.

Heinrich III.
Johanns Nachfolger war seinen Sohn Heinrich, der mit neun Jahren den Thron bestieg. Zwei Regenten sezten auf das Posten, die die Magna Carta ankannten. Die Fürsten beruhigten sich dann. Im Glück bestieg in Frankreich auch sehr jünger König, Ludwig IX. den Thron. Da wurde England von Frankreich nicht erobernt.

Welche Sprache lernen Sie?
Momentan lerne ich Deutsch. Ich lebe seit fast drei Jahren in Österreich, aber bis jetzt habe ich leider nicht genug Deutsch gelernt. Ich habe in Wien für 2 Jahre gewohnt, aber dann bin ich umgezogen. Ich wohne jetzt in Niederöesterreich mit meinem Mann. Weil ich nicht so viel Deutsch kann, kann ich auch kein Job hier finden. Deshalb mache ich jeden Tag Deutschkurse. Ich wollte früher eigentlich Deutsch schneller lernen, aber hatte ich damals keine Zeit. Ich will Deutsch lernen, weil ich einen Job brauche und ich möchte mit meiner Schwiegermutter mehr reden. Wenn ich wusste hatte, dass es so schwierig ist einen Job zu finden, hätte ich viel mehr Zeit investiert in meine Kurse.

L'annivérsaire de mon frére.
Aujourd'hui était l'annivérsaire de mon frére. Il a 14 ans. C'est fou! Je me souveins quand il ètait un petit efant. Pour célébrer, nous sommes allés au un restautrant grec pour manger le dîner. J'adore le norriture grec, c'est délicieux. Aprés dîner, nous sommes rétournés à chez nous ou nous avons mangé du gâteau, et mon frére a ouvri les cadeaux. Je s'ai donné des cornichons au vinaigres et j'ai aussi achété un poster à il mais, il n'avait pas cependant expédié. Aprés les événements de l'annivérsaire, j'ai étudier de biologie. Maintenant, je vais dormir. Bonne nuit!

Why I Write in Blue Ink 青インクで書く理由
A few years ago, I began using a blue ink pen for notes in my planner.
The shift from black to blue happened almost by accident. One day, I picked up a few refills in blue instead of black and brought them to the checkout counter at a stationery store. The cashier politely asked if I was sure about buying blue. Realizing my mistake, I was about to switch to black. At that moment, it occurred to me that I might as well try blue for a change.
To my surprise, the experiment worked out well. Words written in blue looked much softer than those in black. Black ink feels definitive and conclusive, as if leaving no room for alternatives. In contrast, blue ink seems more open and well-suited for tentative thoughts or ideas still in progress.
Since then, I have become a devoted fan of blue ink. These days, I usually choose blue for my notes and reserve black only for official documents where it feels safer to stick with convention.

What is your favorite flower?
I really like wisteria flowers. Their colors are so vibrant and beautiful especially they are in bunches. The appearance of drooping from above is also interesting. Language of flowers is a "kindness" and "loyal", but I wounder are these words the same in other countries?

Introspection
Confucius said, "When you see someone behaving well, try to be like them. When you see someone misbehaving, reflect on yourself."
One thing I recently saw misbehaving is making wild statements without regard for the facts.
I'm a little afraid I myself will turn to this kind of person when I become old, so I asked DeepSeek and Qwen how to avoid it.
My AI friends gave me some advice, and here is a specific one: to write a fact diary, 3 facts every day.
It's interesting, isn't it?

Lo que menos me gusta del español
El español no usa la coma con la misma frecuencia que el inglés. Por eso, cuando leo textos y una oración tiene una construcción equivalente al inglés, y no hay coma donde en inglés estaría, me confunde.
Aprendí recientemente que el español tampoco usa la coma de Oxford: una coma puesta antes del último elemento en una lista. En inglés esa coma es opcional, pero sí me molesta cuando los autores no la usa. Me hace tener que leer todo dos veces.

I vantaggi e gli svantaggi della vita online
Secondo me, i social network possono essere utili quando si usano come strumento per cercare un nuovo lavoro oppure per ritrovare un amico perso.
Io ormai non uso più i social media per condividere la mia vita: non pubblico foto dei miei parenti, né di me stessa, a parte quelle del mio gatto.
Evito di condividere informazioni personali su di me o su mio marito, però mi godo i social media per scrivere alle mie amiche e rimanere in contatto con loro.
Credo che oggigiorno troppe persone considerino i social media come uno specchio o un diario da mostrare al resto del mondo.
