#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.

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. 🇩🇪🤝🇬🇧

@LanguageCoach yes indeed, also very true!

@BritGerAssoc Aren't ä, ö, ü the coolest quirks of the German language?

#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!
