Story Behind Song: Many of many firsts for me. My first to write a song in German (1hr). My first to sing a song in German. My first to have Kaiser sit for as long as 5 mins XD (that’s why you see me singing to him, a way of me saying “stay, sit” while singing). Searching youtube to better my Deutsch, I found out there weren’t any Learn German through songs, so I decided to write one=) Germany has been great to me. Beautiful Country, rich in history and kind people. This is my way of paying it forward of having the world learn a little more Deutsch through song. I just hope the Native Deutsch speakers are forgiving=) Danke Schon to my German friends Arnold and Dagmar who have helped me with the translations and with my attempted pronunciation! tc, JC.

Ask Misterduncan. This has been posted late because my video editing computer decided to die. I had to retrieve and transfer all the files for this lesson in to my laptop and edit them using that. It is a miracle that this video was completed.

In this lesson we look at the many ways to say hello and goodbye. This is the new version of Lesson 2.

Thank you to the many people who have said that ‘Howdy’ is not used as a formal greeting any more. But it can be used as an informal one, as a way of greeting a person in a fun way. As I found out for myself !

This is the VOA Special English Development Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com

The lack of clean drinking water is a major problem worldwide. The World Health Organization says more than one billion people live in areas where renewable water resources are not available. The problem is especially serious in Asia and the Pacific.
A United Nations report says water availability in that area is the second lowest in the world, after Africa.
Nearly seven hundred thousand people in Asia and the Pacific lack safe drinking water. The U.N. report notes that the world’s poorest countries are also the ones that use the most water for agriculture. Agriculture uses about eighty percent of the water in the Asia-Pacific area. There has also been an increase in water used for industry. China and India more than tripled their industrial water use between nineteen ninety-two and two thousand two.
The lack of clean drinking water around the world forces millions of people to drink unsafe water.
This leads to an increase in diseases like diarrhea, the second leading cause of death in children under five. Floods, droughts, pollution and
climate change have created
even more problems.
The Millennium Development Goals
for two thousand fifteen call for a
fifty percent decrease in the number
of people without safe drinking water
and basic sanitation.
Scientists, governments and aid organizations around the world are increasing their efforts to meet these goals. Still, the U.N. says there is much work to be done. During its yearly World Water Day observance in March it called on the international community to work together to solve the water crisis. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing just that.
The American and South Korean researchers are investigating a new technology for turning sea water into drinking water. The new technology is called ion concentration polarization. The process uses electricity to
help separate electrically charged
salt particles from water to
make it drinkable.
The researchers tested their desalination process on a computer chip the size of a postage stamp.
The chip removed ninety-nine percent of the salt and other harmful substances from water samples.
So far the method purifies only small amounts of water. But the researchers say it may someday be available as a personal water purification product.
And that’s the VOA Special English Development Report.

Afrikaans is a South African language originating from the Dutch spoken by settlers in Africa in the seventeenth century. Despite the fact that Afrikaans developed in Africa and is unique to the region, it is classified as Low Franconian West Germanic due to the fact that it originates from Dutch. Aside from English, Afrikaans deviates the furthest from the grammars of the other Germanic languages. It is mainly spoken in South Africa and Namibia, with smaller populations of speakers living in Australia, Botswana, Canada, Lesotho, Malawi, New Zealand, Swaziland, the United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Due to emigration and migrant labour, there are possibly over 100,000 Afrikaans speakers in the United Kingdom. It is the primary language used by two ethnic groups in South Africa: the Afrikaans people and the Coloureds. You can learn to speak it in less than 5 minutes! And the best thing of all, it’s not a difficult language to learn! =)
