Day 15: Da steppt der Bär. Y’all, I didn’t know this little gem existed. Da steppt der Bär. Literally, “There tap dances the bear.” Meaning, it will be a great party. Also, upon further research I find that ‘steppen’ can mean ‘quilting’, or ‘knitting’. Although I know it means dancing, I’m going to be thinking of a wild party with a quilting bear in the corner because THATs the party I want to know all about!
Day 10: Verschlimmbessern: to make something worse by trying to fix it. I think we can all relate. I had to look this one up, but it’s going to the front of my memory. I’m positive I’ll use it frequently!
Day 3: der Wasserhahn, the faucet. Which, now that I look at it, means water rooster. ...Ok. I won’t forget this again. #deutsch #deutschlernen #german #leadwithlanguages

Day 6: der Finger!
Day 23: buchstabieren! To spell! It sounds like to stab the book, which from an English speaking perspective, isn’t too far from how I feel when reading and learning compound words in German! Lol.
Day 16: Schauspielen! When I’m not quarantining and social distancing, I’m a trained actor! I do mainly theatre but also have done some small stuff in TV and independent film!
The jolly bear grinned, it’s red scarf jauntily wrapped about, shielding the bear’s neck from the bitter cold. “No,” the bear laughed, “I’m a ghost.” His hearty chuckle echoed through the night time wind...
