Media today 75. Formal / informal address, Siezen / Duzen

Reading: Nina Weger, Die sagenhafte Saubande. Kommando Känguru, 134-151.

Listening: Nina Weger, Kommando Känguru (Die sagenhafte Saubande 1), 1.12-1.36.


Viewing: Der kleine Eisbär: Der Traum vom Fliegen (22 min.); various videos about lasers, here (5:30), here (4:00), here (14:00)—and here (10:45) and here (9:00) with HARALD LESCH, OMG! I did not know about this series. Cool! I have a very high opinion of Harald Lesch and he has made some great audiobooks for children and young adults.


J loves the scene in Saubande at 1.21:30 (p. 120 in the book) where Max the "scent pig," with whom the characters have been using the formal address (Sie), tells Matheo that he can use the informal: "Du kannst mich ruhig duzen." He wanted to hear this several times. 


By the way, I've never yet mentioned it, but from the beginning I've had all the puppets use the formal address with me, though I refer to them in the informal. At some point soon I'll probably offer them the Du, and maybe with new arrivals start out with Sie and then switch to Du
