Victor Hugo - Demain, dès l'aube
 
Our first poem is from the French poet Victor Hugo, one of the best-known French writers. Demain, dès l'aube which means "Tomorrow, at Dawn," is a short and poignant poem about his visit to his daughter’s grave.
The poem was first released in 1856 in Hugo’s collection called Les Contemplations.

Demain, dès l'aube
Demain, dès l’aube, à l’heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m’attends.
J’irai par la forêt, j’irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.
Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.
Je ne regarderai ni l’or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j’arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur.
Tomorrow, at Dawn
 
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the hour when the countryside whitens,
I will depart. You see, I know you wait for me.
I will go through the forest and over the mountains.
I cannot stay far from you any longer.
 
I will trudge on, my eyes fixed on my thoughts,
Ignoring everything around me, without hearing a sound,
Alone, unknown, back stooped, hands crossed,
Saddened, and the day will be like night for me.
 
I will neither see the golden glow of the falling evening,
Nor the sails going down to Harfleur in the distance,
And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb
A bouquet of green holly and flowering heather.

Life Lessons from Aesop's Fables

Episode 14: The Heron

Ein Horrorbuchstabe für jeden Deutschlerner, obwohl dieser Buchstabe ein Lebensretter ist. In der modernen deutschen Sprache wird das „ä" meistens mit einem „e“ ersetzt. Doch es gibt manche Wörter, die eine richtige Betonung erfordern:

Zum Beispiel:
Ehre = engl: Honor
Ähre = engl: ear of wheat

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena lebte in einem älteren Häuschen am Rande eines märchenhaften Tals. Jeden Morgen zählte sie die Vögel, die auf den Ästen der Bäume saßen. Eines Tages bemerkte sie, dass ein Käfig fehlte, den sie draußen stehen gelassen hatte. „Wer mag den Käfig genommen haben?“ fragte sie sich.

Plötzlich hörte sie ein seltsames Geräusch hinterm Fenster. Ein Kätzchen spielte mit einem Bändel, der am Käfig hing. Lena lächelte, nahm das Tierchen sanft auf und brachte es ins Häuschen. Nun teilte sie ihre Mahlzeiten nicht nur mit Vögeln, sondern auch mit dem kleinen, frechen Kätzchen.

Aussprachehilfe 

ä - Umlaut

We love to proudly wear clothes with a cool fashion label - it says something about who we are. However, we shouldn't read too much into a fashion label, in other words, imagine the brand name defines us literally, particularly if it has a ridiculous name! I did see a printing mistake on a tshirt once, that said "Foodball" instead of "FooTball"!
