Seit einem Jahr denke ich, ich sollte hier etwas zu mir schreiben.

  • Denken und Schreiben hängen bei mir wohl nicht zusammen.

Sprache wurde für mich erst nach einem längeren Auslandsaufenthalt interessant. Damals habe ich gelernt, dass man tatsächlich in einer anderen Sprache denken und träumen kann. Man kann dadurch sogar einen Teil seiner Muttersprache (Schwäbisch) verlernen.

Seither interessiere ich mich dafür, wie verschieden Sprachen und Dialekte sind und wie gleich sie doch wieder sind, welche Nuancen eine Aussage klar machen oder verwässern, wie Mehrdeutigkeiten Spaß machen können.

Mit Sprache kann man jonglieren, balancieren und ohne Netz vom Hochseil stürzen.

It is, both are subjunctive - that's why I was asking ;)

 comment “Etwa” vs “ungefähr”. Gibt es einen Unterschied?
You can say both "so ungefähr", and just "ungefähr" (similarly "so in etwa" - "in etwa" this makes so almost a filler word).

 comment Good short stories for learning German?
Big-list-questions are not a good fit for our question & answer site (see FAQ) as these will grow endlessly over time and will then be of little help for future visitors.

 comment Is writing “Herr Prof. X” exaggerated/mandatory? Is it old-fashioned?
Also note that other than "Dr." we should not use the abbreviation "Prof." when addressing them. It needs to be "Sehr geehrter [Herr] Professor [Dr.] Müller".
