Basic Colours for Beginners (British English) [A1]
Dear course participants, never-forgotten After Work Stammtisch fans and all fans of English Goes Global and/or the English language in general,
Everything is back to normal – well at least regarding our website. Therefore we would like to update everyone on the lack of substance here on englishgoesglobal.de.
Our digital lessons are still going strong despite some unfortunate declines of continuation due to personal issues. Stay safe, get healthy and we are looking forward to seeing you back on track as soon as the pandemic crisis is over!
Thank you very much to Bennet for saving us a h*ll of a lot of time from doing screenshots and having to cut everything together afterwards. One of our advanced students suggested using the already installed Windows program Snipping Tool. It lets the user define a rectangular area to be captured instead of copying the whole screen and you can edit the basic image e.g. with different coloured pens, an eraser and a highlighter, saving the image as a PNG, GIF or JPEG file, adding it into a word document or sending it to others by email. Amazingly easy to handle!
Last but not least, we would like to thank everybody for participating in collecting money for our donation to Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig. We specified that the donation should be given to the Kindergarten Schatzkiste where we voluntarily used to read books to the sweet children once a week. If you would like to help out doing such a mentally-rewarding task, contact the Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig by phone or email. You can find out more here.
Bestätigung zur Spende an die Bürgerstiftung Braunschweig Ende 2020Hopefully you will take advantage of the links we have provided here. However, to end our message we would like to share our choice of facts about Valentine’s Day and wish you a happy Valentine’s Day, too!
1. St. Valentine wasn’t just one person.
7. The tradition of giving Valentine’s Day flowers dates back to the 17th century.
9. Americans send 145 million Valentine’s Day cards each year.
10. And they also spend millions of dollars on gifts for their pets.
16. Nearly 6 million couples get engaged on Valentine’s Day.
2020 wasn’t exactly a good year for many people, but ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL would like to thank all course participants (aka friends) for withstanding and keeping to their learning schedules. The show must go on! Here’s to a bright and healthy New Year and a fond farewell to the old. Cheers! ************ 2020 war für viele nicht gerade ein gutes Jahr, aber ENGLISH GOES GLOBAL möchte sich bei allen Kursteilnehmern (sogleich Freunden) dafür bedanken, dass sie durchgehalten und ihren Lernplan eingehalten haben. The show must go on! Auf ein gutes und gesundes neues Jahr und einen guten Abschied vom alten. Prost!
Wussten Sie schon, dass Weihnachten in englischsprachigen Ländern erst am ersten Weihnachtstag, d.h. 25.12., gefeiert wird und Geschenke früh morgens ausgepackt werden? Der Weihnachtsmann muss doch schließlich am 24.12. spät abends die Geschenke vorbeibringen…
Wussten Sie auch, dass ganz besonders in England das Erzählen von Geistergeschichten, lokalen Legenden und anderen seltsamen, bizarren und fantastischen Wintergeschichten eine jahrhundertealte Tradition, zu der z.B. William Shakespeare mit The Winter’s Tale (1623) beitrug.
We are taking a break from 21st December 2020 till 10th January 2021.
Spending the festive season at a distance directs our attention to what we should be grateful for: a warm home, food on the table, family and friends who care about us. But we acknowledge that not everyone is well off and having an enjoyable time in our society. Especially at Christmas we think abuot such people – because each and everyone has a place among us. I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and stay healthy!
Now is the best time to practise singing English Christmas songs:
Playlist: We Wish You a Merry Christmas 0:00 Jingle Bells 1:42 12 Days of Christmas 3:16 Joy to the World 7:26 Deck the Halls 9:13 O Come All Ye Faithful 11:12 Away in a Manger 13:36 Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 15:31 We Three Kings 18:16
Enjoy yourselves! Looking forward to seeing you again next year and hearing all about your lovely Christmas season 2020/2021!
Liebe Kursteilnehmer/innen, Stammtisch-Gäste und Freunde,
momentan haben wir leider Schwierigkeiten Informationen bzgl. unserer aktuellen Kurs online auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Es hat sich wohl ein gefährlicher Spambot in unser System eingenistet. Zuerst werden wir uns darauf berufen müssen, zumindest die Kursteilnehmer/innen durch E-Mails über z.B. die Hausaufgaben und Lösungen zu informieren.
Sobald wir alles vom „Bad Bot“ bereit haben, werden wir zuallererst unseren Newsletter zum Dezember 2020 uploaden, bzw. für alle Abonnenten und Interessenten zugänglich machen.
Please bear with us! Hopefully everything will be updated before Christmas!
2020 – without doubt a special year: the 30th of the German Unification, but also of corona and hygiene regulations. We would have loved to celebrate freedom, diversity and democracy together with you at a glittering citizens‘ festival with colorful festival miles and great concerts, with people from Brandenburg, Germany, Europe and the whole world.

flights to nowhere = Rundflüge, die von (z.B. Taiwan) aus über benachbarte Länder und dann wieder zurück fliegen
__________________________ IN THE MEDIA
“As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to make it difficult for people to travel overseas, two Taiwanese airlines are offering customers the opportunity to take a holiday FLIGHT TO NOWHERE.”
Yahoo News
__________________________ DID YOU KNOW?
“On a FLIGHT TO NOWHERE, Airlines Innovate Against Travel Bans”
With a large proportion of countries around the world not allowing any international flights except repatriation, airlines have been forced to come up with new ways to generate revenue. Although some travelers remain too scared to fly and people face travel shaming if they do, there are a growing number of people desperate to take to the skies again.
This has generated a new trend for flights to “nowhere”. It originally started with Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration organizing a flight that never actually left the ground. The idea was to recreate the feeling of travel and lift people’s spirits. The trip started like any normal one with passengers required to check-in, get their boarding passes, and go through the usual security and immigration checks.
MICHELIN STAR ONBOARD MEALS
During the three hour flight, customers had a more sophisticated culinary experience than they would normally! The onboard food was a meal created by three-Michelin-starred chef Motokazu Nakamura with a choice of chirashi don (sashimi on top of sushi rice) or braised beef with noodles
JUST FOR KIDS
China Airlines, EVA air’s main competitor, has jumped on the bandwagon and aimed their flight experience at children. The flight allows children to pretend to be cabin crew on a two-hour trip that takes off and lands at Taoyuan. In the morning, they take a course on how to be cabin crew and are given uniforms to wear for the sightseeing flight in the afternoon.
