    it never once occurred to me that hornets would be such a big problem in Canada. When I visited it was remarkably hornet free (admittedly that was 4 hours in Vancouver airport so probably not typical of your average hornet infested Canadian road). Also looking back on the times I've ridden on the back of a motorcycle I can only say I am now so grateful that I never sneezed while wearing a helmet.

    • @LernenundFahren
      @LernenundFahren 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The hornets always seem to show up all at once in August. They buzz around angrily for a few weeks and then they disappear all at once in September when it starts to get cold. They were particularly bad this year, maybe the worst I've ever seen them, but I somehow avoided getting stung. Best time to visit Canada is June or July - great weather, beautiful scenery, no hornets! 😃

  • @KevanRRobinson
    @KevanRRobinson 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Before I post this wall-of-text, I'm gonna preface it with two obvious disclaimers: First, I'm just a random viewer. This is YOUR channel. You owe us nothing. Do what is best for YOU and YOUR life goals. Second, this is only my personal experience and may not be representative of your general audience. At the start, I didn't come to this channel just to "learn languages." I subscribed to this channel for learning **German**. If your videos had been about French, Russian, Chinese, or whatever, I wouldn't have clicked on them. If you started posting videos in those languages, I would probably unsubscribe -- not out of anger or anything, but because there's just not enough time in one's life to learn every language and I can't justify spending 15 minutes every week on a language that doesn't capture my interest. Now, in my case, Spanish is an interesting exception, because happens to already be on my list of "languages I would like to learn," so I would stick around if you pivoted content. But for every one person like me, there are probably ten who don't have Spanish on their list and would find other videos to watch. The one thing I would personally request is not to flip-flop languages. If you want to run two channels and post to both half as often, great, but a single channel with both languages would really limit the breadth of people your channel would be useful to. On a positive note, in my year-and-a-half or so as a subscriber, here are the things I have enjoyed most about your channel: I love getting to see the beautiful Alberta countryside. I love listening to discussion about the senses of words and phrases beyond their literal translations. I especially enjoyed Ausflug72, which covered modal particles. I love incidentally learning more about motorcycle culture (I have never even been on a motorcycle and likely never will). I just love the vibe of this channel. It feels super casual, low pressure. It's like one of the three places on the Internet where I've ever dared to post something in German. But yeah, ultimately, I would say: Do whatever is best for you. If you come back next year with more German videos, I will continue to gladly watch. If you spin up «Aprender y conducir», tell me where to find it and I will be there. If you decide you even need to step away from TH-cam entirely, I'll miss watching your videos, but would understand completely.

    • @LernenundFahren
      @LernenundFahren 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That's totally fair - I fully expect that if I do switch this channel to Spanish, I will lose most if not all of my current subscribers. A spinoff channel is certainly an option. I'll give that some thought this winter. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback!

    Nice video and a very good review. I also fitted a wind shield to mine and it does make a more comfortable ride. Not managed to find an aftermarket seat as yet. The standard seat I have is good for about 1 hour before I need a break. I also find if I Pre Load the quick shifter a second before changing up or down its so much smoother. I also fitted some handle bar risers which helps to reduce any wrist pain on a long ride. I am enjoying every mile ridden on it. Very beautiful part of the world that you live in as well.

    i ordered this bike recently and i can pick it up in a few days. really excited. it's my first bike but i have like 25 hours of riding lessons under my belt, basically making me Rossi 😛 i get what you mean though and i'll respect its power while learning to use it. i also noticed how smooth the engine was, you barely feel it. totally different from the SV650 i used for lessons. do you think it's worth rev matching to make downshifting with the quickshifter smoother? a quick bit of throttle before pushing down?

    • @LernenundFahren
      @LernenundFahren หลายเดือนก่อน

      Congrats on the new bike! You're going to have an absolute blast on it, I'll bet! Personally I don't bother rev matching when using the quickshifter to downshift, as it seems like the quickshifter just handles it. But if this is your first bike, I'd actually suggest maybe don't use the quickshifter at all for the first little while. Try shifting manually until you've got the fundamentals nailed right down. That way you can better appreciate what the quickshifter is doing for you! That'll also help you later if you ever borrow a friend's bike that doesn't have a quickshifter on it. Have fun, ride safe!

But it doesn't really mean "tramp", which is pretty much a homeless person, as much as a woman who's regarded as easy/ promiscuous/ overly_dolled_up_in_a_suggestive_or_tacky_manner.

      Yes, "tramp" has a double meaning in North American English, either referring to a homeless person or to a "woman of ill repute". There are more descriptive words I could have used, but I was trying to keep the language TH-cam-friendly 🙂

      @@LernenundFahren Ha, interesting: I don't think that would work at all outside the US. We do have "vamp", which is related but different, more like "seductress", if that helps ;-) And yeah, best not use the other words (which, notably, don't really have male equivalents).

    maybe i am the only target audience for this joke in the world but i did laugh. (i am from australia although my parents are english - australians would probably understand the joke even if they wouldn't use the word "tart" that often as slang, but many of us are first, or second, or third generation from england, so there's a bit of a crossover there).

    Well said: I think that language learning is one of the fields of knowledge most riddled with fakery, false promises, unrealistic expectations, snake oil, *gefährliches Halbwissen*, usw. I started on German when I was about 54, and yeah, it's a *process* -- has been and still is! In particular, it quickly became clear to me that my knowledge of the mechanics of English (as distinct from its use) was less than rudimentary, and more like non-existent, which is, of course, typical for a monolingual adult, especially in a country where only one language is widely spoken. And that lack of structural knowledge makes a big difference when you run head first into the German abyss containing cases, gender, prepositions, moods, conjunctions, adjective endings, forms of address, tenses, and all that jazz. Essentially, there's a huge amount to assimilate, and all of it takes time: enjoy the journey! Force-feeding, unless absolutely vital (for work or study, zB) just doesn't make for fun, and the tripe about learning a language in 30 days or 6 months or even a year is for me the exact opposite of *fun*. It just sets up a game that you can't possibly win. Hmm, this is getting out of hand: but one or two small things before finishing. The language myth that I might hate most of all is that you "just have to learn language like a child" and/or "Don't think in English, just think in German and it'll all just start to make sense". Oh, FFS, where to begin? Maybe by realising that children take about 5 years to learn their first language to an effective level, and that's with pretty much 24/7 interaction with, and correction by, a native speaker. Whatever else it is, that's not *efficient*. And "just thinking in your target language" could be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard! How, exactly? Force of will? Just randomly throwing Wörter together and hoping for the best? OK, enough!!

    Agreed ... i think it may be a ton more "natural" to just grow-up learning more than one language, because you're already in "formative mind language-learning" mode, but being older (a bit, or a bunch) doesn't mean it's naturally "harder." Learnin' is for any age of our brain or meatsack! And some lovely singing at the beginning, mate. ;) Tschuss!

    I recently came across a German equivalent to the last English example: "Er spricht fließend Deutsch" with a given trsnslation of "He speaks fluent German" which makes fließend seem to be an adjective modifying "Deutsch", but as it's not declined it's acting as an adverb modifying "spricht" i.e. "He speaks German fluently".

    Very interesting video, I like how you're not only explaining things but also delve into the commonalities and differences between the languages. However, a few annotations from a native speaker of German: - If you append "-los" to a noun (in the meaning of -less), it becomes an adjective and therefore has to be written in lower case. While it's true that all nouns are capitalized in German, adjectives or verbs derived from them are not. - "freudelos" is not correct; it should be "freudlos" (I know it's not consistent, but that's the way it is), but don't worry too much about that word, it's not very commonly used anyway. - "los-" prefix meaning "loose" vs. meaning "to start doing something": I think the semantic connection between the two meanings is "to let something be set in motion". When you let something go (loslassen) it starts to move, same as you do when you start to walk (losgehen) or drive / ride (losfahren). This "set in motion" meaning then somehow shifted to the more general "to start doing something" (as in "loslegen" = generally starting to do anything). - "lose" vs "lösen": In German you can often form a causative from a word by turning the stem vowel into an umlaut, similar to adding an "-en" suffix in English. Example: "klar" = "clear", "klären" = to make clear. This works with lots of verbs. "lösen" therefore meens "to cause something to become loose". I think the alternate meaning "to solve" comes from the notion of "einen Knoten lösen" = "to untie / untangle a knot", so like solving a problem is "untangling" it. - "Los" as both "fate" and "lottery ticket": I think that comes from the ancient belief that the Gods decide your destiny; the meanings are connected with both randomness and inevitability. In English you also have the expression "to cast one's lot", where "lot" is a cognate of "Los". Interstingly, "lot" can also mean the size of a production batch, and it translates to "Los" in German in that meaning.

      Hmmm, I got "freudelos" from dict.cc: www.dict.cc/?s=freudelos - I wonder if I should stop relying on that site as a reference? It's not the first time it's given me something that a native speaker later told me was wrong. Thank you for all the feedback! The notion of "lösen" meaning "solve" in the sense of "untangling something" is a good mnemonic to help remember the dual meaning there, I like that. Thanks for watching!
