Es gibt folgende Regeln für kurze Vokale:

Sobald du in einer Silbe neben dem Vokal einen Doppelkonsonanten (ck, ll, mm, nn, pp, ss, usw.) siehst, ist das ein Zeichen! Sage das Vokal so kurz es geht. 

Achtung: ein -ss ist ein Zeichen für ein kurzes Vokal, wohingegen das ß dir erlaubt, das Vokal sowie den Konsonanten laut auszusprechen: Hier ein Beispiel zu „ss" und „ß“:

Maße: the dimentions 
Masse/ das Gewicht: the mass 


Viel Spaß (nicht. Spass) beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Mülltrennung schützt Ressourcen und reduziert Abfall. Papiertonnen sammeln Kartons, Zeitungen und Pappe. Glascontainer trennen Flaschen nach Farben: Braun, Grün, Klar. Plastikverpackungen kommen in gelbe Säcke, während Biomüll in Kompostbehältern verrottet. Batterien enthalten Schadstoffe und gehören nicht in Restmüll. Sammelstellen nehmen sie kostenlos an. Alte Kleidung kann Secondhand-Shops helfen oder Textilcontainer füllen. Elektronikschrott gehört in Recyclinghöfe, wo Fachleute Geräte zerlegen. Regelmäßiges Trennen spart Energie, schont Umwelt und vermindert Treibhauseffekte. Müllberge wachsen rasant, doch mit richtigem Handeln verbessern wir die Zukunft. Tipp: Etiketten auf Verpackungen erklären Trennhinweise. Kleinere Schritte bewirken Großes, wenn jeder mitmacht. Die richtige Mülltrennung ist eine wichtige Verantwortung!

Lily's Chinese 对话

20240123罗曼罗兰致高尔基的信

Hi everyone, this is Jesse, your story writer, and you’re listening to the Being a Cloud podcast. 

More teachers are waking up to the power of stories to teach languages, and on this show, I share the stories I’ve made with my italki students for you to enjoy. 

Are you an ESL student? Do you want to make a story? Book a lesson with me and let’s create one together. 

In this story, an orange named Orangutan gets an unexpected text message from his girlfriend. This is part 1 of 3.  

~~~

Orangutan the Orange

Rain is pouring heavily onto a small town somewhere in Russia. It’s 8:15 in the morning on a cold Monday. 

Inside of a small, community-run gym, there is an angry-looking orange lifting some weights. It’s early, so no other members are in the gym. Not all the lights are turned on. The fourteen-year-old orange is alone lifting some dumbbells. 

8 – 9 – 10 – Rest… 

He takes in huge breathes to recover. He seems very driven to push his body to its limits. 

Again… 1 – 2 – 3… 

After completing his 5th set, the orange walks over to the bench press. He lays down on the bench, grabs the steel bar and lifts the 50kg weights. He’s very strong for such a young piece of fruit. 

Then, his mobile phone makes a sound. The orange completes his set, then grabs his phone from his bag. Two new messages have arrived. He opens the first one and scans the text. 

Hi, Orangutan, my dear, it’s me. I’m sorry to say, but our relationship is over. Please don’t visit me or call me anymore. You’re very strong and handsome, but you’re not polite or considerate. While I do care for you, sometimes I don’t feel safe around you…

The message stops there. It continues in the second message. But Orangutan feels so insulted and hurt by the message. He instantly deletes both of the messages, without reading the second.
