What I'm Reading

What better way to learn German than via kids books, eh? Set out by myself this evening to buy these DDR-era books off an old man who spoke no English so my broken German had to do. "How old is your son or daughter?" he asked me and I laughed and said they were for me. Then he showed me allllll the other thousands of books in boxes he wanted to get rid of. "Next year when your German is good enough, you can take these," he said. From his lips to the language gods' ears. He was selling them for €1 each so of course I bought five. From left, clockwise: The Giraffe, Emma Longlegs, Little Grandmother Goodwoman and her pets, The Small Ugly Bird, The Wonder Pills and The Myths of Mother Goose. Already cracked them open with my trusty dictionary app (Leo) so this will be fun. #bookstagram #learninggerman #mrmbookclub #kidsbooksforgrownups
