After being out sick last week, Dili is back among the podcast microphones to share her adventures in German healthcare. We also learn how to start a pigeon wellness hotel. We discuss being imprisoned in Kindergarten, the arrival of Oktoberfest, and more troubling developments in Thuringia.
Easter is upon us, and we compare notes on recycling Christmas chocolate, rabbits with chicken pox, and the power of Creme-Eggs. After more than one listener request, we review the recent Royal visit to Germany by King Charles & Queen Camilla, and we finish the pod with the recent failed education summit called to find solutions to Germany’s many education problems.
After bickering over the kick-off question, Dili wins the battle of wills and wants to know about favourite vegetables. We introduce a new segment with Dili’s Sports Roundup, and Nic recaps his first sojourn into the TV festival that is “Berlin, Berlin”. We look at a recent analysis on children’s educational deficits after the lockdown, and we finish off with news of German pension reform.
We investigate reports of a crisis in the Uk’s language learning sector as Germans look to other countries to get their grammar fix. Things get personal with Der Spiegel’s recent report on the rapid increase in obesity among British children and finally, a fish restaurant has haddock enough of complaints about unruly kids and has decided that children have no plaice in their establishment.
Despite Nic’s beer fuelled adventures on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s Simon that’s managed to get injured. We talk suspected broken toes and why ten pints of Guinness is more effective than a spa weekend or any juice cleanse. We turn our attention to some rotten employee relations in the UK, we return to Brandenberg for an update on the Tesla factory and we finish off this week with a look at changes being made to language learning in UK schools.
