    Church or Beer? My experience of both European Easter and Orthodox Пасха 🪺

    Waterfalls of Påskeøl (Easter beer) and snaps in the family circle or служба (a church service) at midnight? The ways of celebrating Easter in the West and the East differ that much, wouldn’t you agree? 😉 here is my experience of celebrating both: in Denmark and back in Russia. 17/24 April this year. Wish you blossoming and prosperity this warm season and enjoy the “Christ is Risen” in 6 languages in the end of this episode. And I am always glad to receive your questions/ suggestions/ criticism 📩 languagemess@gmail.com

    HYGGE - a (danish) way of living in the Present Moment 🙌🏼

    What is Hygge? What if you’ve been practicing a hyggelig lifestyle all your life being absolutely unaware of the mere existence of the Hygge-concept? Hygge or Kos (in Norway) or Mys (in Sweden) are all definitions of the same attitude - I believe everyone can experience hygge! 🎵 Verschwende deine Zeit by Edwin Rosen

    Dacha Datscha Дача 🏡 a Russian Cultural Phenomenon

    *This episode must have been released on October 1st but due to the technical issues ... just imagine it’s October 1st ✨* «Посмотри, я едва не плачу! Я хочу поехать на дачу!» On this episode I am talking about dacha / дача, delving into a history of this authentic Russian phenomenon, showing up extracts from Russian classic literature which tackle the dacha theme (Anton Chekhov, Ivan Bunin) and *interviewing* my grandma and a friend of mine deciding on *what is actually dacha for us* 🙂 The initial idea behind Dacha was about leisure, enjoyment and relaxing. However, the Soviet Era changed everything. Would Russians rediscover “Bunin’s and Chekhov’s” dachas for themselves? Would they grow cherry trees or potatoes, or both? It remains to be seen. Anton Chekhov’s essay «На даче» —> https://www.booksite.ru/fulltext/che/hov/chehov_a_p/30.htm If you would like to learn more about the Soviet era’s dachas I advise you to have a look —> https://www.calvertjournal.com/features/show/8881/dacha-dacha-shkurpela-russia Final song 🎵 Dacha by Пётр Налич reach me out 📩 languagemess@gmail.com
