うちには弦楽器（げんがっき stringed instrument )が　たくさんあります。今回全部の楽器を出して、弦（げん）の数を数えたら、57本もありました😲　弦楽器バカです😓　中国の二胡（にこ）、日本の三味線（しゃみせん）に箏（こと）、ハワイのウクレレ、南米のチャランゴ、そしてあとは全部ギターです。中でもクラシックギターは古くて、学生時代からのつきあいです。その親友が…死んだ…　どうしよう…直す？新しいの、買う？

-ng - Endungen sind im Grunde wie im Englischen. Das G wird nicht ausgesprochen. 

Im Audio betone ich die -ng`s. 

Viel Spaß beim Zuhören, Erkennen und Mitlesen:

An einem stillen Morgen ging Lara singend den Pfad entlang. Die Strömung des Flusses rauschte leise, während Vögel in den Zweigen sangen. Langsam begann die Sonne, den Nebel zu durchdringen, und brachte Licht auf den Hang. Lara blieb stehen, blickte über die Wellen und hing ihren Gedanken nach.

Plötzlich sprang ein Hund aus dem Gebüsch und begann, um sie herumzuspringen. Lara griff nach einem langen Stock, schwang ihn weit und warf ihn ins Gras. Der Hund sprang los, brachte den Stock zurück und fing sofort an, weiterzuspielen. Lara lachte, während die Zeit verging.

Ein Klang von Kirchenglocken drang aus der Ferne und erinnerte Lara daran, dass es spät wurde. Doch sie blieb noch einen Moment stehen, um die Aussicht zu genießen. Der Wind rauschte durch die Zweige, während am Horizont ein bunter Drachen im Himmel hing. Es war ein Morgen voller Bewegung, Begegnung und Gesang.

Around the world, "Kiwi" is a popular nickname for New Zealanders, and people from New Zealand will often call themselves "Kiwis" too. For most New Zealanders, the word Kiwi is a positive and friendly nickname — but where did it come from?

The name actually comes from the kiwi: a fluffy bird that has a round body, a long beak and cannot fly. It is only found in New Zealand.

While the bird was already used on New Zealand's stamps and money by the late 19th century, it was first used to represent New Zealand in 1904 — when it was used in a cartoon to represent the country's rugby team. After that, the bird was often shown in cartoons to represent the country.

During World War I, soldiers from New Zealand who were fighting in Europe wore an image of the bird on their uniforms. "Kiwi" became a popular nickname for these soldiers, and it continued to be used after the war.

So the people and the birds don't get mixed up, "Kiwi" as a nickname for New Zealanders is usually written with a capital K, while the bird's name is usually written with a small k: "kiwi."

The kiwi fruit, which is originally from China, is also named after the bird. In 1959, fruit exporters in New Zealand started calling it "kiwifruit" because its fluffy, brown skin looks similar to the fluffy bird.

However, it is important not to mix up Kiwi people, kiwi birds and the kiwi fruit! Although the fruit is usually just called "kiwi" in other parts of the world, New Zealanders only ever call it "kiwifruit."
