Hahaha yes, lots of fun. A shame that on youtube you can not have the original song (uptown funk-bruno mars).
Oh really? You are half German? How is your german now? did you keep the language? What part in Germany?

RE: Snowboarding in Ehrwald, Austria
Oh… I will imagine the song with it 😎
Yes I am… the other half is Dutch. Born in France though… (to complicate things 😉) I am still fluent in German. I never lost it. Just need to switch 15 minutes during a conversation and all will come back.
My second language is Dutch. Than I learned Limburgs… only 13 years ago I learned english hahaha
When I lived in Spain I started to learn Spanish, I understand almost everything. Still learning.
Am learning right now 2 more languages. Oh, were do I find time 🕰️!LOL
We lived in several villages / cities in NRW, around and in Heinsberg. (Let’s say I moved a lot in my live. I stopped counting after 45 times and 8 countries further) 🫣
We made it wooohhooooo 🥳
!PIZZA to celebrate.
Oh so you are not only a world traveler but also a language freak, just like me 😆 What is Limburgs?
I grew up in Germany (German), learned English and Spanish in school, then lived in Mexico for 5 years (Spanish/English), then in Paris (French) - but never got fluent... don´t know but Paris people didn't motivate me much to learn it perfectly 😅 - Now I am learning Italian, as my wife is half Italian and I love Italy 🐝🐝 - Thats great. So if we ever meet in person, we will always have a secret language to talk to each other hehehe
Sounds like it. So cool 😎
Limburg is a Dutch dialect. From the south of the Netherlands in the province Limburg. I lived there mostly when I lived in the netherlands.
That sounds so great! You traveled (lived in more places) a lot like me.
I noticed that learning a language in the field so depends on where exactly you live.
The last countries… even if I spoke their language, everybody replied in english hahaha it is so much harder to learn then.
It is great you are learning Italian. It is a stunning country.
We will… our secret language hahaha 🤣
Don’t ask hahaha it looks like I moved every half year or so. Hahaha but I guess I am a bit older than you. Just passed my mid forties. 🫣
Nope, we will move in the next half year again… no idea when het or where we go to next. Depends of hubby finds a job and where.
I so wanted and need to settle… moving this much is exhausting. Believe me.
There are dialects in Dutch?! can you compare it to Bavarian in German? If yes, its like a whole new language haha.
Oh yeah, learning a language in a country were its spoken is so much easier.. but also depends on the mentality of the people. I am sure that in some french village, I would have learned it way faster than in Paris. - In general, I am not a fan of big cities anyway. Most people are always so stressed and superficial there. - Losing track of the essential things in life... But I guess Paris was especially hard as I was just coming from the Caribbean haha - total culture shock!
You mean in Sweden and Ireland it was easier to speak English? yeah, I guess in the northern part of Europe English is so easy for everyone.. almost like a second language. I guess pronunciation must be hard as well as speaking those languages. My BF is from Denmark. I do understand a lot because of German, but so hard to try to speak it. - Yeah! Italian is awesome - and so easy to learn if you already speak French and Spanish :D Grammar is almost the same, words are so similar.. only the endings are different.
You did move a lot!! How come?! You are almost like a Nomad Jackie! - Well older yes, but not a lot. I am in my mid-thirties. :)
Oh yeah.. well I loved getting around so much and sometimes I miss it.. but having a real home to come back to, and settling down is also nice. I never thought I would go back to Germany though... but Italy is not really a choice now with anti-gay politics.. with these conditions not many choices left. We live a little bit outside of Munich in a small village with many lakes around. So its a good place for now =)
There are so many dialects in the Netherlands… have a look here: Dialects in the Netherlands
Limburgs is like that… the northern Dutch people can not understand it hahaha 🤣
Yes… the big cities are harder. In a village where they speak their language you would have learned it so much faster.
More like Spain, France, Malta or even in Sweden. Even if I try to speak those languages they reply instandly in English. Thinking I’m english… but I am not hahaha
Yes, the english language will take over in the future. As it is so easy for many people to communicate in it.
Let’s say my parents moved a lot… I left home when I was 16 years old. After that, just life. Or work (hubby) related mainly the last 7 years. Not many were our choices.
I understand. It is such a shame. I hope it changes one day… that is, if you still want to move. Not many countries left I know.
I haven’t found “my” spot yet. How can I with so many moves throughout my entire life. We thought we would settle here but hubby hasn’t found a job yet in 1,5 + years. After we had to leave the UK. 🤨 So another move is probably needed. We will figure it out.
I did love the experiences and the things I learned. But now… I just want to settle. It is so time. I have to start my art studio up again. All my art materials are boxed up for about 4 years. We never stayed long enough anywhere to set up. I am an artist and photographer.
Hahaha another secret language I see. ;)
I am sure the village would have been much better. Also, people are way more relaxed and I wouldn't have to escape that often 😜☀️
Well, it is also a compliment for your English then ;) It sounds like you were on the run for a long time. What is your hubby working in that he has to travel that much? I hope you will find your spot soon.
Yeah, I know what you mean.. traveling so much moving all the time getting out of your comfort zone so many times makes you strong and flexible. You see so much, experience a lot, meet many people, and get to know yourself also - a lot ;) - that is nice for some time, but at some point, you just want to feel at home and relax for a moment. It´s hard to never really settle for a long time... make yourself home I mean - like setting up your art space - So I cross my fingers for you to find "your spot" soon where you are comfortable, can relax, and do your things. What kind of art do you do?
Haha probably.
I like living in villages or even more remote. Nicer neighbours for sure. More nature too.
Thank you so much 😊 right now, he would be happy with anything.
Let’s hope we find our spot.
Exactly like all of that. Maybe it is also getting older… doing our thing and wanting a veggie garden, building a cabin for our selves. Settle… for once. We still can travel. Just I wish the moving stopped. A base is so needed.
A few examples of my work :
“Here we go…”
“longing eyes”
“Burning Desire” this one has been published in a large worldwide magazine in english and german. I wrote the step by step.
I airbrush, paint and draw with many mediums and techniques… on many surfaces even cars and motorcycles or walls.
I love being creative but also being technical in many other ways. I can build houses and fix cars hahaha 🤣
Have a nice Monday 😎
