November 2018. Private Party. Namensgebender Titel: punschextravaganza. Das sagt schon alles aus und dem ist fast nichts hinzuzuf\u00fcgen. Stilvoll, mit Grandezza. Ich kannte lediglich die Gastgeberin und das sind ja bekanntlich die besten Parties. Fremde, mit denen Small Talk mit (m\u00f6glichem) Tiefgang ein Leichtes ist. Ein guter Mix aus Zugezogenen und internationalen Menschen, alle offen und sympathisch, soweit wir in Ber\u00fchrung kamen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frances ist mir von Anfang an durch Ihre \u00e4u\u00dferst sympathische, unaufdringliche Warmherzigkeit aufgefallen. Sie ist Amerikanerin und spricht flie\u00dfend Deutsch. Ich merke, dass sie mutig ist und keine Scheu hat, sich in einer Fremdsprache auszudr\u00fccken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Das Gegenteil ist mir widerfahren, als ich das erste Mal Paris besuchte und im Fr\u00fchst\u00fcckraum des Bed & Breakfast (B&B) einen Amerikaner, ein Klavierlehrer, kurz sprach, ob er ein paar Worte Franz\u00f6sisch gelernt habe. Er verneinte und meinte: \u201eEnglisch wird doch auf der ganzen Welt gesprochen. Wozu eine andere Sprache lernen?\u201c Das verschlug mir die Sprache.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frances lernt gerne Sprachen und reist gerne. Sie war in S\u00fcdkorea und hat einfach Koreanisch gelernt. Sie liebt auch das Essen. Und sie lernt Franz\u00f6sisch in einem Sprachkurs. Ich bewundere Ihren Flei\u00df und Ihre Disziplin. Wie sie sich mit Grammatik auseinandersetzt. Nicht so meins, ich gebe es zu. Ich lerne eher intuitiv.<\/span><\/p>\n

Als ich eine \u00dcbersetzerin f\u00fcr meine Homepage brauchte, war sie gl\u00fccklicherweise zur Stelle, hat nach Ihrer Arbeit in einem \u00dcbersetzungsb\u00fcro noch flei\u00dfig bis in die tiefsten Abendstunden und mit gr\u00f6\u00dfter Sorgfalt meine Texte ins Englische \u00fcbersetzt. Sie hat mitgedacht und alles, wirklich alles nachrecherchiert. Wertvolle Hinweise gegeben. Das ist unbezahlbar. Mein gr\u00f6\u00dfter Dank und meine blaue Japanjacke \u201aKraniche \u00fcber dem Meer\u2018 als \u201aEntlohnung\u2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Die Einladung f\u00fcr dieses Jahr ist bereits raus: \u201epunschextravaganza \u2013 the return\u201c. Einige bekannte Gesichter werde ich dort wiedersehen, auch Frances. Ich freue mich schon drauf, auch wenn ich nicht lange bleiben kann.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

November 2018. private party. Name-giving title: punschextravaganza. That says it all and there is almost nothing to add. Stylish, with grandeur. I only knew the hostess and as we all know, these are the best parties. Strangers with whom small talk with (possible) depth is easy. A good mix of newcomers and international people, all open and sympathetic, as far as we came into contact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frances struck me from the start with her extremely likeable, unobtrusive warm-heartedness. She is American and speaks fluent German. I notice that she is courageous and not afraid to express herself in a foreign language.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opposite happened to me the first time I visited Paris and in the breakfast room of the Bed & Breakfast (B&B) I briefly asked an American, a piano teacher, if he had learned a few words of French. He replied in the negative, saying, “English is spoken all over the world. Why learn another language?” That left me speechless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frances enjoys learning languages and traveling. She was in South Korea and just learned Korean. She also loves food. And she is learning French in a language class. I admire your diligence and discipline. The way she struggles with grammar. Not so mine, I admit it. I learn more intuitively.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I needed a translator for my homepage, she was fortunately on the spot, and after her work in a translation agency, she diligently translated my texts into English until the deepest hours of the evening and with the greatest care. She thought along and researched everything, really everything. She gave valuable hints. That is priceless. My greatest thanks and my blue Japanese jacket ‘Cranes over the Sea’ as ‘reward’.<\/span><\/p>\n

The invitation for this year is already out: “punschextravaganza – the return”. I will see some familiar faces there again, including Frances. I’m looking forward to it, even if I can’t stay long.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
