"Missed the Train, Saved the Day: A Lucky Story with Grammar Tips"

Dir ist bestimmt aufgefallen, das Muttersprachler das „en“ stumm sagen. Es klingt weilweise wie verschluckt. Am besten lernst du die Aussprache mit -en wenn du genau an der Stelle, wo du -en sagen solltest, deinen Mund mit der Hand zumachst, oder mit deinen Fingern deine Lippen aneinanderpresst. Ich habe den Text mit dem Schwerpunkt en-Endungen einmal langsam, dann schneller vorgelesen. 

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitlesen:

Eines Morgens beschlossen die beiden Kinder, einen Drachen steigen zu lassen. Sie liefen zum Garten, um die Schnur zu holen. Mit freudigen Gesichtern begannen sie, den Drachen zusammenzubauen. Dann gingen sie auf die Wiese, wo der Wind die Bäume bewegte.

„Wir müssen ihn höher fliegen lassen!“, rief einer von ihnen. Gemeinsam hielten sie die Schnur fest, bis der Drachen tanzend in den Himmel stieg. Die Wolken schienen greifbar, die Vögel flogen davon.

Am Abend, nachdem die Sonne untergegangen war, saßen sie erschöpft am Feuer. „Das war ein unvergesslicher Tag!“, sagten beide, bevor sie zufrieden einschliefen.

日本で一番高い山は、富士山です。今は冬なので登れませんが、湖のあるふもとの町には、たくさんの観光客が訪れています。湖ならば、一番大きいのが、みんな大好き、京都の隣にあるじゃないか！と思うのですが、外国人はさほど来ていません。実は私もよく知らない、琵琶（びわ）湖。ハルカちゃんに聞くまで、滋賀県はほとんどびわ湖で、びわ湖しかない、と思ってたんだけど、今回話して、とっても大事な湖だというのが、わかりました。

Luke's English Sessions

Ep 3. "Poor (or) Bad Timing" 

In today's episode we learn an anecdote about the American tourists who once met the Queen and had no idea who she was. Here's the story. 

Key Vocabulary:
An anecdote   /ˈanɪkdəʊt/   noun  = a short, interesting story about a real incident or person.
To play a prank on someone = To carry out a trick, deception, or practical joke on someone.
To pull someone's leg  =  to deceive someone playfully; tease someone.
Cantankerous	/kanˈtaŋk(ə)rəs/ adjective   = bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative.
To be a fly on the wall =  you would like to hear what will be said or see what will happen while not being noticed

Former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin said he and the Queen met the American hikers one day while they were walking near Balmoral Castle, her holiday home in Scotland.
"The Queen would always stop and say hello," Griffin said. "And it was clear from the moment we first stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen."
Griffin said one of the Americans asked the Queen where she lived.
"She said, 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home near here,"' Griffin recalled. 
The hiker then asked if she had ever met Queen Elizabeth.
"Well I haven't, but Richard here meets her regularly," the Queen replied.
The hiker then turned to Griffin and asked: "Oh, you've met the Queen? What's she like?"
"I decided to pull her leg, so I said, 'she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour".
The American then got his camera out, and gave it to the Queen, asking if she could take a picture of him with the royal protection officer. "Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and we waved goodbye". "The Queen said to me, 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to their friends —  hopefully someone tells him who I am.'"
