Going skiing ...

... that's at least what I wanted to do. - But due to the bad weather, which consisted of fog and light rain, I decided to postpone my plans.

You're wondering, where I am? - Tyrol? Styria? - No, I still haven't left Vienna. This is the Hohe Wand Wiese in the 14th district, but the slope looks steep anyway.

When I was a child I used to ski during the whole winter. My parents taught me how to do it and I even won a couple of small ski-races. Well, but that's really years ago and nowadays I even haven't got a pair of skis.

So, I really wanna try it after such a long time - I actually have to, as this will be part of my next video-language-course. So, you'll soon see me "racing" down this hill ...

Christmas in Vienna

Well, know it's been quiet some time since I last wrote something, but it's just because I'm really busy working on my new language lesson. Guess, I've already been to all possible Christmas markets in Vienna, as my next lesson will be about Christmas.

Normally I'm not too enthusiastic about snow, but this time I really prayed for some snowflakes. It simply looks better on video and puts you in the right mood for Christmas. It wasn't too cold, but I enjoyed my cup of "Punsch" anyway.

So, if nothing unforeseen happens, my next video should be done by the end of next week.

My videos on Utubersidad in Latin America

Never thought that my videos would be featured in Latin America, but as you can see on the right side, it appears on the website http://utubersidad.com

They're featuring the best and most popular educational videos. If you take a closer look you will spot me there.

As I don't know for how long they'll feature my video, I just loaded up this screenshot. So, it's just something to remember. It really makes me proud and shows me that I'm on the right track.

Hope, I can continue my language learning project as long as possible.
