私にとってドイツ語は日本語、英語の次に第二か国語として習得した言語です。実はドイツ語に元々興味があったわけではなく、オーストリアに住むことになったのがきっかけでした。しかし、勉強し始めて気付いたことはドイツ語はとてもたくさんルールがあって複雑だけれど、とても理にかなった言語だということでした。ルールが多いけれど、例外はあまりなく、間違えてしまったときもルールを見返すと納得できることがとても多いです。友達はパズルみたいで楽しい言語だと言っていました。私もそう思います。

ドイツ語の勉強を始めた日本人が最初に違和感を抱くのは多分、名詞に性があることです。ドイツ語には男性名詞、女性名詞、中性名詞があり、それを覚えておく必要があります。日本語は名詞に性がないのでこの考え方は日本人にはありません。私もドイツ語の前は日本語と英語しか知らなかったので最初はとても変な感じがしました。今はもうなんとも思いませんが…。

ところで、オーストリアに住んでいた時は、毎日ドイツ語を使っていたし、語学学校にも通っていたので流暢に話すことができたんですが、最近は使う機会がめっきりなくなり、ドイツ語力がかなり落ちてしまいました。とてもショックなので今年の夏は日本で実施されているドイツ語の試験である独検（どっけん）を受けました。無事に合格できましたが、現役時代のドイツ語レベルと比較するとまだまだです。実は今年、友達の結婚式でオーストリアに行ったんですが、自分のドイツ語力が落ちすぎていてびっくりしました。折角頑張って一度は自信を持って話したり、書いたりできた言語なのでこのまま忘れてしまうのはとても勿体ないですよね。来年も家族や友達に会ったりするためにオーストリアに行くつもりなので今からドイツ語の練習をして備えておきます。

We know a lot of jobs can be done remotely, an arrangement we often call "working from home."

But we also know that working remotely may not mean actually working at home — people work in libraries, in their cars and in cafes.

Many of us like working in the nice atmosphere of a coffee shop. But some cafe and bar owners have had enough of remote workers using their tables.

Some have banned laptops and turned off their Wi-Fi, while others have begun asking remote workers to pay to use the space.

Owners have complained that some people buy one coffee and work in their cafe for up to eight hours, or ask for the music to be turned down so they can have meetings online.

Peter Duran runs a coffee shop in Berlin. He doesn't have Wi-Fi and doesn't let people use laptops. He told Barista Magazine: "We want to be a place where people come to meet each other or be alone, but leave the stress of work outside."

And it's not just about the atmosphere of the place. Remote workers aren't good for business, says Duran, since they spend much less per hour than he pays his workers.

Of course, remote workers themselves don't agree.

On TikTok, one worker said if you pay $8 for a coffee you should be able to choose how you spend your time in a cafe.

However, with so many people working remotely, towns and cities around the world have begun opening remote working spaces where people can work without annoying any cafe owners.

Some Cafes Have Had Enough of Remote Workers

Being a picky eater can mean a number of different things. It may describe someone who doesn't like to try new foods, or someone who prefers plain meals. It can also refer to someone who eats quite a narrow range of foods.

It's quite common for children to be picky eaters. They may only like their pasta without sauce, or their bread cut in a certain shape.

Parents often feel they're to blame when their children are picky eaters. But according to a new study, picky eating is mostly caused by our genes.

Researchers in the UK looked at data from identical and non-identical twins who had been followed from birth since 2007.

Identical twins share 100% of their genes, while non-identical twins share half, on average. Studying these twins allowed the researchers to compare the eating habits of people who were genetically the same and those who weren't, but still grew up in the same home together.

More than 4,800 twins were included in the study. Their parents completed questionnaires about how picky their children were aged 16 months, then again at the ages of 3, 5, 7 and 13.

Not all parents completed the questionnaires as their children got older, but from the results, the researchers found that the eating habits of identical twins were much more similar than those of non-identical twins.

They also found that genetic variation explained 60% of the differences in food pickiness at 16 months, and 74% between the ages of 3 and 13. Meanwhile, shared environment only explained 15% to 26% of these differences, and the environmental effect was strongest when children were younger.

However, the researchers added that environmental effects are still important: parents can still influence their children's eating habits by eating together as a family, and by offering a wide variety of different foods, for example.
