Avsnitt fyra - platser jag vill besöka, platser jag vill resa till. Låt oss börja.

Om vi börjar mer lokalt så finns det många intressanta platser i Sverige. Historiska platser, gamla slott och ruiner, konungagravar etcetera. Men jag vill verkligen åka norrut igen. Jag åkte till Kiruna för ett år sedan...

Eine Datei „downloaden“, eine Reise „cancellen“, ein „Wellness-Wochenende“ verbringen. Alle diese englischen Wörter sind in die deutsche Sprache gewandert. Viele dieser Wörter sind schon lange integriert: Zum Beispiel wird „Ticket“ statt „Fahrkarte“ nicht mehr als Fremdkörper gesehen. 
Warum breitet sich „Denglisch“, diese Mischung aus Deutsch und Englisch immer mehr aus?
Ein Grund ist sicher das Internet: dort ist Englisch die vorherrschende Sprache. Zum anderen spielt die Globalisierung eine große Rolle. Englisch als Weltsprache und "lingua franca" ist in der internationalen Vernetztheit unentbehrlich. Und natürlich ist Englisch einfach „cool“. Es ist so cool, dass man in Deutschland Wörter erfunden hat, die ein Brite oder Amerikaner nie verwenden würde. Ein Beispiel dafür ist das Wort „Handy“ für ein Mobiltelefon.
Denglisch hat in Deutschland viele Kritiker. Ihnen kann man entgegenhalten, dass sich Sprache zu allen Zeiten gewandelt hat und diesen Wandel wird niemand aufhalten.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. I'm an italki American English tutor. Today I want to talk about technical aids for learning languages. And specifically, I want to talk about headphones. So one of the most important things for improving your fluency in any foreign language is to listen to content in that target language.
So for me, I'm currently studying Spanish and trying to maintain my Chinese, so I don't forget it. So what I like to do every day is listen to podcasts. Now you can listen while you're doing other activities like washing your clothes or washing the dishes or exercising at the gym. You can listen to podcasts while you're on the treadmill. 

But the problem is headphones can smash your ears and make your ears uncomfortable. So what I like to do is use bone conduction headphones or earphones. It's a type of headphone that doesn't actually cover your ear canal. It goes in front of your ear and kind of sits on your face. Um, kind of behind your sideburns if you're a man, right in front of your ear and the sound transmits a vibration that goes into your skull and into your ear and your brain can hear the sound just from the vibrations going through your bones. And so they are called bone conduction headphones. I swear by them. And I use them every day. I have a pair which is charged with a USB C port.

So there are many different kinds of options on the market, but I like the ones that use a USB C port to charge them because I don't have to worry about losing the appropriate proprietary charging cord. Instead, I can just use any USB C charging cord to power up the headphones. 

So another advantage of using bone conduction headphones is that while you're wearing them, you can hear sounds outside of the content that you're listening to.
So for example, say, I'm running, I'm jogging and listening to my podcast which is in Chinese while I'm jogging. ( Text limit )
