English Walks

English Walks Englischkonversation beim Gehen mit Native Speaker "brush up your English" Schulenglisch ist ausreichend und ein Einstieg ist jederzeit möglich.

Die English Walks sind eine Englischkonversationsgruppe beim Wandern im Raum Mödling (Prießnitztal, Eichkogel). Wir wandern 90 Minuten und plaudern dabei auf Englisch über Themen, die wir gemeinsam vorschlagen (Urlaub, Wochenende, Garten, Kultur, die Pflanzen entlang des Weges...). Fehlende Vokabeln werden "eingesagt" und ich schreibe mit und schicke dann die Vokabelliste dieses Spaziergangs an alle TeilnehmerInnen. Manchmal singen wir auch (manche hören auch nur zu) - der Liedtext wird vorbereitet, schwierige Phrasen und Wörter werden erklärt. Die English Walks finden Montag und Dienstag vormittags sowie Donnerstag nachmittags statt. Mehr dazu (Termine, Treffpunkte, Kosten) bei "Veranstaltungen" (runterscrollen bei Android bzw. am PC unter der Rubrik "Mehr" --> "Veranstaltungen"/"Events"), Anmeldung fürs Schnuppern bitte per E-Mail an kim.meyercech@gmail.com

Diskussionsrunde zu aktuellen Themen (alle 14 Tage am Freitag Abend):
Wir erarbeiten gemeinsam einen englischen Artikel zu einem aktuellen Thema (Vokabel, Phrasen, Aussprache) und diskutieren darüber. Wie bei den English Walks schreibe ich mit und schicke Ihnen dann Ihre Vokabelliste zu. Voraussichtlich alle 14 Tage an einem Dienstag Vormittag. Englische Redewendungen, Witze, Rezepte..... finden Sie auf meiner Facebookseite: https://www.facebook.com/englischtrainerinKimMeyerCech/

{This is just for fun and out of curiosity}:
I am EW (English Walks), and I obviously exist to some extent !?
So I asked Gemini:
'𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 "𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬" in Lower Austria?'
Surprisingly, I received an answer!

'English Walks' is not a single, universally known person.
There is an activity called 'English Walks – English Conversation in Nature', which takes place in the thermal region of the Mödling district in Lower Austria.
These are hikes for small groups of 3–5 people, during which only English is spoken. The aim is to refresh conversation skills. The provider helps with vocabulary and phrases. "

In "English Discussion" we talked about "Forest Gardens"{woodland ecosystems}, "Squirrel Buffets"{from where squirrels can store their winter supplies}, ...
We planned to do more within these interesting topics ... among others talking and finding out about "Natur im Garten" and its requirements one day. But that was quite a while ago - nothing much happened since then.
Then all of a sudden Tünde showed up ... being the mastermind of "Bobofarm" ... a nonprofit association project with a "Natur im Garten" certification. It's not that the prophet went to the mountain but rather that the mountain, namely Tünde came to the prophet !
We think her farm homepage is great. Let's take a look.

This is one of the EnglishWalk groups discussing.
The inserted bird is a blue-footed booby(a goon) wich is actually as big as a goose.

We talked about the meaning of
> "𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰"
For instance this is said about something that lasts only a short time:
"Many new internet companies are here today and gone tomorrow"

ok - but what about this ?! :
> "𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰"

goon = a bird belonging to the order Pelecaniformes{Ruderfüßer}
{goon also clumsy, awkward, simple-minded person}
Goons {or bo***es or gannets **)} are excellent gliders and spend most of their lives on the open sea; large seabirds with mainly white plumage, catching fish by plunging into the water.
Goons are found as breeding birds from the Arctic to the tropics and the sub-Antarctic. They are named after their clumsy-looking gait{Gangart} on land;
The german name : Tölpel (family Sulidae)

**) "gannet" is derived from Old English ganot meaning "strong or masculine", ultimately from the same Old Germanic root as "gander".
[ in british english derogatory a greedy person —
— dates from the mid-19th century, after the sea bird with perceived voracious{unersättlich} eating habits]

"Little Bunny Foo Foo" is a children's poem and song.
The poem consists of four-line sung verses separated by some spoken words.
The verses are sung to the tune of the French-Canadian children's song "Alouette" (1879), which is melodically similar to "Down by the Station" (1948) and the "Itsy Bitsy Spider".

The person performing the song usually includes hand gestures for "picking" and "bopping".

>first SONG: { repeats 3 times }
Little Bunny Foo Foo
hopped into the forest
picking up the field mice,
bopped them on the head

SPOKEN:
down came the good fairy and said:
I will give you 3 more chances
and if you are not a good bunny by then
I will turn you into a goon!

>second SONG, ... SPOKEN:
down came the good fairy and said:
I will give you 2 more chances
and if you are not a good bunny by then
I will turn you into a goon!

>third SONG, ... SPOKEN:
down came the good fairy and said:
I will give you one more chance
and if you are not a good bunny by then
I will turn you into a goon!

>fourth SONG, ... SPOKEN:
down came the god fairy and said:
You have no more chances
And now I will turn you into a goon! {a bird – see below}

So she did.
P**F !

And the moral of the story is:
> "𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰"

A cool concert with Attwenger at the Weinsommer in Gumpoldskirchen. Did you know that some of their album titles can be read in English as well as in their Upper Austrian dialect? For example: song (Lied/sagen), sun (both times Sonne) or dog (Hund/Tag) 😀
