Make sure not to miss an exciting production of Tamerlano, part of the @LHandelFestival next Friday. For BGA members, the evening offers an exclusive area of the bar to gather during the interval and opportunity to meet a member of the opera’s creative team. (1/2)

#WordyWednesday: with spring underway, a familiar little flower is popping up everywhere: the daisy! In German, the most common word for it is Gänseblümchen... a “little goose flower.” This endearing name likely comes from the way these flowers grow in meadows where geese graze.

Exploring sources ranging from international archives to refugees’ own words, the discussion considers how the Kindertransport has been remembered, interpreted, and mobilised in British culture, and why it continues to matter today. (2/3)

The Bundestag’s ratification of the Kensington Treaty happened last week! Signed last July, it aims to boost cooperation on security, defence, economic growth, climate, tech, and more. It aims to restore visa-free travel for school groups to make student exchanges easier. 🇩🇪🤝🇬🇧

#WhyLearnGerman? Because you can study a language with a unique letter that no other language uses: the ‘ß’! It’s called the Eszett (and pronounced like 'ss'), and it’s one of the coolest quirks of the German language. It’s seen in words like 'Straße' (street) and 'Spaß' (fun).

This week’s #WordyWednesday: a great word that perfectly captures that moment when the ideal joke or comeback finally pops into your head, but only when it’s far too late to use it. You can even picture it: you're on your way out, and only then does that line come to you!
