Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This week's recommendaiton is for the politics podcast Ok, America?

But first, a quick note from me:

I'm considering dipping into my journalism and science experience and starting to write a bit more informational content for the blog — language-related news summaries, breakdowns of the science of language and language learning, analyses of language learning trends, etc.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This week's recommendaiton is for "Karrieresong" by Konny.

But first, a quick note from me:

I'm getting settled in Graz after my international move and the bureaucracy seems to finally be subsiding... maybe. This means I'll hopefully have more time to write blog posts soon!

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This week's recommendaiton is for the YouTube channel Coldmirror.

But first, a quick note from me:

I really get seeing over-sensationalized language learning stories from folks whose learning strategies seem far removed from what could possibly be carried out by a normal human being with idk a family and/or a job. Or even idk a pet hamster to take care of every once and a while.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety — and for the month of August, every recommendation comes with a special "Clemens Seal of Approval" from my partner. It's a bit like a newsletter takeover... except he's too lazy to write anything so it's still me writing this thing at the end of the day.

This week's Clemens Seal of Approval recommendation is for the song "Perfekte Welle" by the German pop group Juli.

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it's "Wolken" by Bukahara.

But first, a quick note from me:

Sorry I missed the last two newsletters. I'm hoping to get into more of a rhythm going forward... it's been a chaotic few weeks. I'm finishing up my masters and freelancing part-time for a startup so there's been a lot I'm juggling.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it's Herr der Diebe by Cornelia Funke.

But first, a quick note from me:

After long running my "language Twitter" account separately from my work account, I've decided that two Twitters is just too much. My old @monoglotanxiety account is now my only account and has the new handle @elisecutts. Sorry for any confusion as yall get used to the switch, hopefully it passes soon. Expect not much new except occasional posts about science writing... and maybe a bit less swearing haha.

But first, a quick note from me:

I hope you enjoyed Austria week — I'm actually still in Austria, but I figured it's about time to return to business as usual. I can't torture y'all with dialect forever. You might see some Austrian stuff sprinkled in going forward, but German media is back on the table.

But first, a quick note from me:

Just a reminder — January is Austria month! So don't worry if you don't understand everything in these recommendations. Austrian German can be really different from the "Hochdeutsch" foreigners typically learn.

But first, a quick note from me:

I hope you liked my last recommendation for Klingendes Österreich, because this January is Austria month! I'm visiting my boyfriend and his family in Austria this month and it just feels right to recommend Austrian media while I'm here. So don't worry if you don't understand everything in this week's song — Austrian German takes some getting used to.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it's the Austrian TV series Klingendes Österreich

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the politics, history, and current events YouTube channel MrWissen2Go.

But first, a quick note from me:

You may have noticed that these emails have gotten a bit erratic. I apologize about that, it was (and still is) my attention to keep this newsletter weekly. However for the time being, you'll probably be happier with the newsletter if you adjust any expectations you may have that it comes regularly. I fully intend to revive the weekly pace eventually. I'm also working on some pretty significant updates to the blog and rethinking what it will offer y'all. If there's anything you'd like to see specifically, please let me know by sending an email to hello@monoglotanxiety.com

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the song "Meine Schwester" by Kid Kopphausen.

But first, a quick note from me:

The Lazy Italian Self-Study Experiment is going strong—strong as in I've only broken my Duolingo streak once. Woops. Luckily this is an experiment and not a challenge, so I can happily continue on despite the mistake. You can either wait for my update on the experiment next month or head over to the Buy Me a Coffee if you want to follow along in real-er time. You can also connect with me on Twitter @monoglotanxiety if you'd like to say hi, keep up with my silly Italian experiment, or just infuse your feeds with a chaotic stream of wacky tweets about language.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the song “Jenny Jenny” by the German rock group AnnenMayKantereit.

But first, a quick note from me:

German will always be my first love, but part of me has been itching to start learning another language for a while now — and I’m finally doing it! I’ve decided to begin learning Italian as a sort of experiment in self-studying a language from scratch. You should start seeing posts recounting my trials and my errors with this brand-new language next month. We’ll see how long I keep this up — false starts are a part of learning, too, so I’m trying to go into this with some self-forgiveness preprepared in case I need to set Italian aside to focus more on German (or on life).

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the satirical late-night show ZDF Magazin Royal hosted by Jan Böhmermann.

But first, a quick note from me:

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" by Nena.

"Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" by Nena

You probably already know Nena, even if you don't know you know them -- if you're learning German, I'm guessing there's no way you haven't already head their hit "99 Luftballons." But while Nena might have been a one-hit wonder in the US, the group released a few other songs that did well in German-speaking countries. "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" is one of them. It's a very 1980s song with fun, clever lyrics referencing space and time. It's also just fun to listen to -- the kind of thing that inspires you to roll down your car-windows and crank up the volume.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the series How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast).

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. Because I missed a newsletter before, this week is twice the usual recommendation. And because every two-pack needs a theme, I’m going with this pair of Austrian series on Netflix: Altes Geld and Freud.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s Mailab, a science YouTube channel.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s the YouTube channel Terra X Lesch & Co.

Terra X Lesch & Co

If you're a fan of any or all of Cosmos, the Discovery Channel, Bill Nye, or Kurzgesagt, you'll like Terra X Lesch & Co. An arm of Terra X, the (better) German version of the Discovery channel, this science channel breaks down fascinating topics in physics and astronomy for a science-curious audience. The main host, Harald Lesch, is a walking, talking physicist stereotype—sweater vests, coffee mug and all. It’s a great channel with interesting videos and a dynamic team of co-hosts including Mai Nguyen-Kim of the (amazing) German science channel Mailab.

Hey there!

Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s “Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco.

"Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco

You might know this one already---"Rock Me Amadeus" was the only of Falco's songs to make it big in the US and UK, even though many of his others were hits in German-speaking Europe. The song is a fun, maybe irreverant retelling of Mozart's life with the eponymous Amadeus portrayed as a womanizing rock star. It's just incredibly fun to listen to, except maybe if you listen to Austrian radio stations. If that's the case, you've probably heard it more than one too many times.

Hey there!

Here's your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it's the TV series Babylon Berlin

Babylon Berlin

The big-budget serial Bablyon Berlin has been called "Germany's Game of Thrones," but its no fantasy epic. The series is set in the twilight of the Weimar Republic, the fledgling German democracy established in the wake of WW1 that ultimately unraveled into fascism in the 1930s. The story starts out as a crime drama centered on junior police inspector Gereon Rath's attempt to break up an extortion ring in Berlin. But the plot quickly spirals outward to follow important political events of the time, with a particular focus on the roles of communism and Soviet influence.
