“The Startening”
EDIT:
I had to clean up my email list and I removed a bunch of addresses that haven’t been active in months.
If you usually hear from me and that stops now, please let me know. I might have accidentally deleted your entry.
It’s on, folks!!
The YourDailyGerman Advent Calendar®™ is back!
And this time, it’s the super elite master class diamond edition.
Which basically means it’s … uh… really really good :).
Many of you probably already know the calendar, but for those who don’t, here’s how it works.
How the Calendar Works
Every day, from now till the 24th, I’ll post a small treat for German learners, be it an article about a word, a quick quiz or game, a grammar hack, a recommendation, a give-away. Or just some general musings and thoughts that I feel might be interesting.
And so you don’t have to remember to check every day, I’m of course going to send you a newsletter every day. I actually bought a quite expensive sending plan, just for this (which of course didn’t work today, but now we should be good), so everyone gets the mail at the same time (and same day).
So you’ll see quite a few mails from me this December, but feel free to ignore them. There’s really not much in it, except the link and the title and maybe a quick silly line.
Oh and the titles will be somewhat cryptic, so don’t get confused ;)
Anyway, I’ll also put up an overview over the calendar right on the front page, so you can quickly access it, if you come by the site.
Oh and as per usual, I have turned off the reading limit for the calendar articles, so even if you’re not a member, you can read them every day. Because CHRISTMAS!!! GUUUAAHHHHHHH *cue black metal guitar riff
CHRIST
MASSSS
*shr shr shrum shr shr shrum
SPI
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
So yeah… I’m really excited for this year’s calendar and I’m super happy to share a bit of December with you that way again. There’s definitely going to be a few neat surprises in there, even for those of you who have been through a few Calendars already.
Tomorrow, we’ll start with a little poll. Or a hack. Or a quiz. I haven’t decided yet.
But yeah… have a great first of December, and I’ll see you tomorrow :).
Oh… and just to make sure you got yours…

Hi
Happy for the free subscription. Vielen Dank. Ich komme aus Uganda und ich bin froh hier zu sein. Let’s go
Viel Spaß :)!
Thank you Emanuel for the free subscription! this is very kind of you. And a big thank you to all the people who pay a little bit more so that people like me who can’t afford subscription can still learn!
Guess I arrived a little late to this party! xd My Christmas day was actually and unfortunately very bad, but nothing that this blog can’t cheer me up.
Sorry to hear that you had a bad Christmas. I hope you enjoy the posts here then :). Merry Christmas anyway!!
Finally catching up on my emails Thank you for making another Advent calendar this year!
Yeah, welcome and viel Spaß!!
A cool clip. I don’t know how I discovered your site, but I’m happy I did! Thank you!
BTW If you’re in San Francisco, Lehr’s German Specialty Store on Church and 28th just re-opened in the Noe Valley. https://lehrssf.com/
I left with Leberwurst, Gelbwurst, and Licorice!
Loved this!!!
I am glad I made the cut. Lately I have gone into German hibernation. However I am beginning to see the German tourists in Australia and I hijack them and speak German to them. Ich muss mein deutsch verbessern und hier ist der Ort
Freut mich, dass Sie sich(?) die Zeit und Energie nehmen sollten, uns so viel Spaß und Lernen zu geben.
Ja, genau “Sie sich” oder auch “du dir” :).
Ich bin so dankbar meiner Ex-Kollegin dafür, dass sie mir dieser Kalender mir vor 4 Jahren gezeigt hat.
Ich bin neugierig was du dieses Jahr vorhast! :)
Ich bin mit dem Plan bis jetzt super zufrieden :). Ich bin gut vorbereitet.
Amazing!
Great Idea!
Wirklich krass!
Loving it!
Excited to see the Advent calendar again this year!
Super! Fantastisch! Toll!
Nice! I look forward to these each year.
Toll! ♡
If there is a drum solo I am here everyday! frohes fest zusammen!
Danke sehr Emanuel!!!!
