German: Verliebt in deutsch video



Hello all, Chris here. Today we have a guest post from longtime friend of the site and fellow teacher Julia Veltum who has a nice German video to share!

This is a contribution to the competition "Verliebt in deutsch". My sister prepared the video clip on the famous Grimm's fairy tale "HƤnsel & Gretel" with elementary students of German in France. I really like the idea of combining music, language and painting for young learners. What do you think? If you want to support these young German learners in France, please don't hesitate to do so and check out (and like) the video :)

Jobs: July in Spain


Would you like to make money and live in Sevilla for free this summer?  
Would you like to gain valuable teaching experience and still have time to travel?

This message is from Cristina de Mosteyrin a bilingual teacher in Illinois who is from Spain. In July she runs an English Summer program for kids 3/12.

The program consists of teaching English in a fun, interactive manner. The kids spend July, from 9 to 2, with native English speakers.  The philosophy is that through playing sports, water games and rotating workshops (such as arts and crafts, music and dance, watching a movie, or even juggling) students will learn English in a fun way.
 The activities and the program will be all ready for you. You don’t have to plan anything, just to be on time everyday and full of energy.

It's a small "program” so it doesn't have a lot of funding yet, but it offers:

-A great experience in a beautiful country.
-Time to practice your Spanish and time to visit the country: Madrid, Granada, our beautiful beaches in Cadiz.
-Acommodation for a month for free.
-Compensation for working as a monitor from 9 to 2, around 700 euros.


If you are interested, have questions or you just want more information  please contact e-mail demosteyrin (at) hotmail (dot) com. If you decide to participate she needs your resume and contact details.

German: Frida Gold - Zeig mir wie du tanzt (song)




Here is Christina with a fun German dance song:
"Zeig mir wie du tanzt" by Frida Gold





Frida Gold is the name of the whole band, by the way. The name of their beautiful lead singer is Alina Süggeler.



Zeig mir wie du tanzt

Zeig mir, wie du tanzt,
Und ich sag dir, wer du bist.
Und so wie du guckst,
Weiß ich, wonach dir ist.
Zeig mir, wie du sprichst,
Und ich sag dir, was du hƶrst.
Ich will wissen, wie du riechst,
Und ob du mich betƶrst.

Und so wie du tanzt,
Kann ich fühlen, wer du bist.
Und fast wie in Trance
Lassen wir uns drauf ein.
Und so wie ich tanz,
Seh ich's funkeln in deinem Blick.
Wir verschmelzen ganz sanft,
Fast von allein.

Zeig mir, wie du küsst,
Und ich sag dir, ob‘s mir schmeckt.
Zeig, wie du dich bewegst,
Und ob du meine Sinne weckst.
Zeig mir, wie du tanzt –
tanzt - tanzt – tanzt -
Zeig mir, wie du tanzt –
 tanzt - tanzt – tanzt -
Und ich fühl dich,
Und ich fühl dich.

Und so, wie du tanzt,
Kann ich fühlen, wer du bist.
Und fast wie in Trance
Lassen wir uns drauf ein.
Und so wie ich tanz,
Seh ich's funkeln in deinem Blick.
Wir verschmelzen ganz sanft
Fast von allein.

So wie du dich bewegst,
macht alles einen Sinn.
So wie du jetzt loslƤsst,
kommt plƶtzlich alles hin.
So wie du dich anfühlst,
so fühlt sich Leben an,
Und dich nicht mehr aufführst,
so kommst du endlich an.

Und so, wie du tanzt,
Kann ich fühlen, wer du bist.
Und fast wie in Trance
Lassen wir uns drauf ein.
Und so, wie ich tanz,
Seh ich's funkeln in deinem Blick.
Wir verschmelzen ganz sanft
Fast von allein.
Show me how you dance

Show me how you dance
And I’ll tell you who you are.
I can tell by how you look
What you’re in the mood for.
Show me how you talk
And I’ll tell you what you hear.
I want to know how you smell
And if you’re bewitching me.

By the way you dance
I can feel who you are.
Almost like in a trance
We’re abandoning ourselves.
With the way I dance
I see sparks in your eyes.
We softly melt,
Almost on our own.

Show me how you kiss
And I’ll tell you if it tastes good to me.
Show how you move
and if you awaken my senses.
Show me how you dance –
dance – dance – dance
Show me how you dance –
dance – dance – dance
And I feel you,
And I feel you.

By the way you dance
I can feel who you are.
Almost like in a trance
We’re abandoning ourselves.
With the way I dance
I see sparks in your eyes.
We softly melt,
Almost on our own.

With the way you move
everything makes sense.
With the way you let loose
suddenly everything comes together.
The way you feel
Is how life feels.
And if you stop acting up
You’ll finally get there.

By the way you dance
I can feel who you are.
Almost like in a trance
We’re abandoning ourselves.
With the way I dance
I see sparks in your eyes. 
We softly melt,
Almost on our own.
