Die an der Donau gelegene Stadt Regensburg ist eine der älstesten Städte Deutschlands. Sie ist bereits zur Zeit der Kelten und Römer gegründet worden und kann somit auf eine fast 2000-jährige Geschichte zurückblicken. Mit weit über 100 000 Einwohnern ist sie nach München, Nürnberg, Würzburg und Augsburg die fünftgrößte Stadt in Bayern. Als Universitätsstadt und wichtiger Industriestandort ist sie auch das wirtschaftliche Zentrum Ostbayerns. Die Altstadt mit dem Dom und vielen weiteren historischen Gebäuden gehört zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. 

Einst war die Donau ein Teil der Grenze des Römischen Reiches, an der zur Abwehr der Barbaren aus dem Norden mehrere Wachposten errichtet wurden. Spätestens seit dieser Zeit gab es dort, wo heute Regensburg liegt, römische Siedlungen. Regensburg entwickelte sich bereits in der Antike zu einem wichtigen militärischen Stützpunkt. Seit dem 8. Jahrhundert gibt es einen Bischof in der Stadt, und im Mittelalter wurde Regensburg endgültig zu einem bedeutenden gesellschaftlichen Zentrum. Die berühmte Steinerne Brücke, die bis heute erhalten ist, wurde im 12. Jahrhundert errichtet. Sie war damals einer der wenigen Wege über die Donau. Die Zölle, die an der Brücke erhoben wurden, und das Recht auf freien Handel bildeten die Basis für den wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung. 

In dieser Blütezeit der Stadt wurde auch der Dom erbaut, der über 100 Meter hoch in den Himmel ragt. Er ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt und lockt viele Touristen an. Fachleute betrachten den Bau als das Hauptwerk der Bayerischen Gotik. Damit der Dom seine Schönheit nicht verliert, sind stets mehrere Handwerker mit  Renovierungsarbeiten be-schäftigt. Hierfür werden nach wie vor mittelalterliche Werkzeuge und Techniken benutzt, weil das kulturelle Denkmal möglichst original erhalten bleiben soll. 

Trotz der langen Tradition ist Regensburg immer jung geblieben. Die Universität lockt viele junge Leute in die Stadt, die ihr neues Leben einhauchen. Die Musikszene hat sich mittlerweile nicht nur in der Umgebung einen Namen gemacht. Ein Höhepunkt ist das Jazz-Festival im Sommer, das mitten in der Altstadt in angenehmer Atmosphäre abgehalten wird. Die internationalen Künstler, die in den Gassen und Kneipen Konzerte spielen, ziehen jährlich an die 50 000 Besucher an. Außerdem gibt es für die Fans klassischer Musik die Regensburger Schlossfestspiele, und auch das ist eine Open-Air-Veranstaltung. So haben auch viele Menschen aus der Umgebung die Möglichkeit, erstklassige Live-Musik zu genießen, ohne jedesmal nach München oder in eine noch weiter entfernte große Stadt fahren zu müssen.

The city of Regensburg which is located at the Danube is one of the oldest cities in Germany. It has already been founded during the ages of Romans and the Celts, so it can look back on a nearly 2000 year old history. With far more than 100 000 inhabitants it is the fifth biggest town in Bavaria after Munich, Nürnberg, Würzburg and Augsburg. As a university town and as an important industrial location it is also the economical center of East Bavaria. The Old Town with the cathedral and its numerous other historical buildings is part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage.

Once the Danube had been part of the border of the Roman Empire, where several staging posts had been built up in order to defend the Barbarians from the north. At the latest since this time there were Roman settlements where today Regensburg is located. Regensburg already developed to an important military staging post in the ancient world. Since the 8th century the bishop is residing in town [...]</itunes:summary>

Paul: Er ist hauptsächlich ein Science-Fiction-Autor. Aber ich mag auch Fantasy-Romane, zum Beispiel von Murakami, und sogar Krimis!
Frau Schneider: Murakami sagen Sie? Gibt es von ihm nicht gerade ein neues Buch? Ich erinnere mich nur nicht an den Titel...
Paul: Hmm... Ich habe nichts von einem neuen Buch von ihm gehört.
Frau Schneider: Vielleicht irre ich mich auch. Aber mir fällt ein - wenn Sie gerne Krimis lesen, könnten Sie das doch auf Deutsch versuchen. Die Sprache in Krimis ist ja meistens nicht so schwierig.
Paul: Stimmt. Aber die zwei Bücher, die ich jetzt kaufen werde, sind mir zunächst genug.
Frau Schneider: In Ordnung. Dann lassen Sie uns bezahlen!

----Formal English----

Paul: Do you also want to buy books?
Mrs Schneider: Probably not, but I always like to look, what new books are out there.
Paul: What kind of books do you most like to read?
Mrs Schneider: I like historical novels, or also biographies. Lately I'm particularly interested in the history of Berlin.
Paul: Right, I remember... You told me.
Mrs Schneider: Yes. And do you have a favorite book?
Paul: One? No... many! I actually like all books by Neal Stephenson. He is my favorite author.
Mrs Schneider: Neal Stephenson? Hm, doesn't ring a bell...
Paul: He is mostly a science fiction author. But I also like fantasy novels, for example by Murakami, and even crime novels!
Mrs Schneider: Murakami you say? Isn't there a new book by him just now? I just don't remember the title...
Paul: Hmm... I haven't heard anything about a new book by him.
Mrs Schneider: Maybe I'm wrong. But I just had an idea - if you like to read crime novels, you could try to do that in German. The language in crime novels is usually not very difficult.
Paul: Right. But the two books, which I'm going to buy now, are enough for now.

Martin: Guten Morgen, Caroline! 
Caroline: Guten Morgen! 
Martin: Hast du gut geschlafen?
Caroline: Ja, danke.
Martin: Ich auch. Ich war sehr müde.
Caroline: Was möchtest du heute machen?
Martin: Erst einmal frühstücken. Danach sollten wir uns München angucken.
Caroline: Klingt gut. Weißt du, ob es hier im Hotel noch Frühstück gibt?
Martin: Normalerweise gibt es in Hotels bis 10 Uhr Frühstück, aber dieses Hotel bietet anscheinend kein Frühstück an. Wir können in der Stadt ein Café finden und dort frühstücken.
Caroline: Okay, das geht auch. 
Martin: Sollen wir heute Abend weiter nach Heidelberg fahren?
Caroline: Hmm, ich möchte mehr Zeit in München haben, aber Heidelberg ist auch interessant, und Paris...
Martin: Ich denke nicht, dass es sich lohnt, nach Paris zu fahren. Man braucht Zeit, um Paris zu sehen.
Caroline: Wirklich? Aber... aber wie kann man nach Europa reisen und Paris nicht sehen!

Martin: Good morning, Caroline!
Caroline: Good morning!
Martin: Have you slept well?
Caroline: Yes, thanks.
Martin: Me too. I was very tired.
Caroline: What do you want to do today?
Martin: First (I want to) have breakfast. Afterwards we should sight-see Munich.
Caroline: Sounds good. Do you know if they still serve breakfast at this hotel?
Martin: Normally hotels serve breakfast until 10am, but this hotel doesn't seem to offer any. We can find a café in the city and have breakfast there.
Caroline: Okay, that works, too.
Martin: Should we drive on to Heidelberg tonight?
Caroline: Hmm, I'd like to have more time in Munich, but Heidelberg is also interesting, and Paris...
Martin: I don't think it's worthwhile to go to Paris. You need time to see Paris.
Caroline: Really? But... but how can one travel to Europe and not see Paris!

Weihnachtsmärkte

Weihnachten ist noch nicht einmal gefeiert, da sind die Weihnachtsmärkte auch schon wieder weg.Habt ihr es dieses Jahr auf einen Weihnachtsmarkt geschafft? Ich bin ja nicht so der Fan vom Getümmel auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt, aber für viele Menschen sind Besuche auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt ein Muss im Dezember.

Auf Weihnachtsmärkten gibt es aber auch viel zu entdecken. Neben Süßigkeiten wie gebrannten Mandeln, heißen Maronen, Lebkuchen, kandierten Äpfeln und Printen gibt es viele Stände, an denen man Weihnachtsdekorationen, Filzwaren oder Schmuck kaufen kann. Und natürlich darf ein Stück Christstollen und ein Glas Glühwein nicht fehlen.

Irgendwo auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt steht auch immer eine Weihnachtskrippe, die Szenen aus der Weihnachtsgeschichte darstellt. Oder es gibt Weihnachtskonzerte und Krippenspiele werden aufgeführt. Auf Weihnachtsmärkten gibt es also mehr als Süßigkeiten und Verkaufsstände.

Weihnachtsmärkte haben in Deutschland eine lange Tradition. Schon seit dem 15. Jahrhundert gibt es Weihnachtsmärkte. Je nach Region nennt man sie auch Christkindlmarkt, Adventmarkt oder Glühmarkt. Entstanden sind sie aus normalen Wochenmärkten, auf denen man Waren für den alltäglichen Gebrauch kaufen konnte, doch mit Wochenmärkten haben die heutigen Weihnachtsmärkte wenig gemeinsam.

In vielen Städten in Deutschland stehen die Weihnachtsmärkte jedes Jahr an der gleichen Stelle und haben eine langjährige Tradition. Zu den bekanntesten Weihnachtsmärkten gehört der Christkindlmarkt in Nürnberg, der Markt auf dem Münchener Marienplatz oder der Leipziger Weihnachtsmarkt auf dem Marktplatz. Als ältester Weihnachtsmarkt in Deutschland zählt der Striezelmarkt in Dresden, der seit 1434 stattfindet. Jährlichen kommen mehr als 2,5 Millionen Besucher auf den Striezelmarkt.

Also, ich kann ehrlich gesagt, nicht so viel mit Weihnachtsmärkten anfangen. Gerade in Berlin sind mir die großen Weihnachtsmärkte einfach viel zu voll und sie gleichen mehr einem Jahrmarkt mit Buden, Karussells und Essensständen. Außerdem ist es doch viel zu kalt draußen zum Spazieren! Da bleibe ich lieber zuhause und trinke einen warmen Tee und esse Lebkuchen bis ich platze!

Christmas markets

Christmas is barely over, and the Christmas markets are already gone again.  Did you manage to get out to one this year?  I\'m not really a fan of all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas market, but for a lot of people, visiting Christmas markets is a must in December.

There\'s actually a lot to discover in a Christmas market. Besides the sweets and treats like roasted almonds, roasted chestnuts, gingerbread cake, candied apples, and gingerbread cookies, there are many stands where you can buy Christmas decorations, felt crafts, or jewelry. And of course, you can\'t miss out on a slice of Christstollen cake and a glass of mulled wine.

Somewhere in every Christmas market there\'s always a nativity scene representing the story of Christmas. Or there\'ll be a Christmas concert and a nativity play.  So, a Christmas market is more than just candy and vendor stands.

Christmas markets have a long tradition in Germany.  They\'ve been around since at least the 15th century.  Depending on the region, they\'re called variously \&quot;Christchild market\&quot;, \&quot;Advent market\&quot;, or \&quot;Candlelight market\&quot;.  Originally, they came from the regular weekly market where you could purchase everyday items, although the weekly markets have little in common with present-day Christmas markets.

In many cities in Germany, the Christmas markets are set up in the same spot every year, and are a long-standing tradition.  Among the most well-known Christmas markets are the Christkindlmarkt in Nuremberg, the market in Marienplatz square in Munich, or the Leipzig Christmas market in Marktplatz square.  The oldest Christmas market in Germany is the Striezelmarkt in Dresden, which has occurred since 1434.  Every year, more than 2.5 million visitors come to the Striezelmarkt.

Honestly, Christmas markets aren\'t really my thing.  Even in Berlin, the big Christmas markets are too full for me, and they seem more like a fairground with vending booths, carousels, and food stands.  And anyway, it\'s actually too cold outside to be walking around!  So I prefer to stay home drinking warm tea and eating gingerbread cake until I burst!

A: Hallo Joe...
J: Störe ich gerade?
A: Ich bin gerade beim Kochen, aber ein bißchen Zeit habe ich.
J: Okay, dann mache ich\'s kurz.  Ich habe jetzt meinen Flug.

J: Ja, Berlin-Tegel. 
A: Ist das ein Direktflug aus Washington oder steigst du irgendwo um?
J: Ich steige in Paris um... der Flughafen dort heißt Charles de Gaulle.
A: Ja, das ist der große Pariser Flughafen. 
J: Warst du schon einmal dort? Wie ist dieser Flughafen?
A: Paris ist eine wunderschöne Stadt, aber der Flughafen ist nichts besonderes. Irgendwie sind alle Flughäfen gleich.
J: Stimmt.  
A: Wenn du da ankommst, dann lass dir direkt von irgendjemandem den Weg zeigen. In diesem Flughafen kann man sich verlaufen.
J: Mhmm. Ich habe drei Stunden Zeit bis zu meinem nächsten Flug. Das ist genug Zeit, um sich zu verlaufen und den Weg wieder zu finden. Irgendetwas muss ich doch in der Zeit tun. 
A: Okay, wie du willst. Schickst du mir eine SMS, falls dein Flug Verspätung hat?
J: Na klar.
A: Toll! Ich freue mich schon darauf, mit dir zu plaudern.
J: Ich auch, und ich freue mich darauf, wieder in Berlin zu sein. Die Stadt ist einfach toll!
