    Der Konjunktiv (w/ Verena Hofstätter)

    “Words are not just words. We do things with words.” And among the things we can do with words is express our attitude towards something. We can say things in a certain way to express it as a fact, or as something unreal, or to show that we want to be neutral about whether something is true or not. For these purposes and more, we have the subjunctive mood – in German, the Konjunktiv.In this episode I talk to Verena Hofstätter, a linguist and German teacher from Vienna. Together we take a dive...

    German is a drag (w/ Sassica Rabbit & Ryta Tale)

    NOTE: In this episode, I say the following: "In simple terms, an AFAB queen is a cisgender woman who does drag as a drag queen." While AFAB queens are very often cisgender women, and the term is typically used to describe cisgender women doing drag, this is not necessarily the case for everyone. Anyone who does drag and was assigned female at birth can be considered an AFAB queen, and this can include trans men, non-binary people and more. Apologies for the confusion and the inaccuracy!*****R...

    South Tyrolean (w/ Richard Bonomo)

    South Tyrol is an autonomous, majority German-speaking region in Italy bordering Austria and Switzerland. It's one of the few places outside of Germany, Austria and Switzerland where German is an official language, alongside Italian and Ladin. But while these three languages are all recognised today, it was a difficult road to get here - the people of South Tyrol suffered some dark chapters which had awful consequences for families and communities, throwing their identity as South Tyroleans i...

    Language, dialect & identity (w/ Katie Resch)

If you speak multiple languages and dialects, which one is really you?In this episode I talk to Katie Resch, a PhD student at the University of Vienna.
