Winston words

Of late J has been using all sorts of new German words and expressions. This evening he was describing "die blecherne Stimme" of a robot. Yesterday he actually used "gewissermaßen" in a sentence, perfectly correctly. When I ask him where he's been getting these words, he says: "Das habe ich bei Winston aufgeschnappt." I think by now he's listened to the three Winston stories we have some 10-15 times each.

Madeleine L'Engle

Now that we have finished Michael Ende's Die Unendliche Geschichte / The Neverending Story, we're starting a new series, Madeleine L'Engle's famous trilogy. Here we are at the campground this weekend starting A Wrinkle in Time / Die Zeitfalte

The German translations are all out of print, so I ordered them on Amazon.
