Here is another story about a guy who couldn't fall asleep. We will discuss in the lessons your sleeping habbits, the source of your sleeping difficulties, different ways of improving the quality of your sleep... Before that let's listen to the audio recording  Was tuesch so fägnäschte, Tigerli? E schloflosi Nacht A sleepless night Was isch los, Tigerli? What's up, little tiger? Ich cha nid schlofe, Müüsli. I cannot sleep, little mouse. Ich mach der e Whisky mit Milch und Honig, Schätzli. Honey, I am going to make you Whisky with milk and honey. Oh, das wär grossartig! Oh, that would be great! Müüsli, schlofsch scho? Little mouse, are you sleeping? Ich cha immer nonig schlofe. I still can't sleep.  Tue doch Schöfli zelle! Tue doch Schöfli zelle!
Count the little sheep! Das hilft au nid, Müüsli! That doesn't work eighter, little mouse! Was du bruuchsch isch es Glas Wasser, Tigerli. What you need is a glass of water. Was tuesch so fägnäschte, Tigerli? Why do you keep tossing and turning, little Tiger? Ich cha immer nonig schlofe. I still can't sleep. Vilicht söttisch go dschogge. Maybe you should go jogging. Es isch scho drü am Morge! It is 3 o'clock in the morning. Ich goh morn go schaffe, Müüsli! I am going to work tomorrow love! Denn tue doch de Rosechranz bätte, Tigerli! Why don't you pray the rosary then, little tiger? Hör uuf fägnäschte! Stop tossing and turning! Und loh mi bitte lo schlofe. And let me sleep, please. Wenigschtens öpper vo üs sött morn fit sii! At least one of us should be fit tomorrow! Was sölled si mache? What should they do? Sött d Frau em Maa mit de Bratpfanne eis uf de Chopf tätsche? Should the woman hit the man with the frying pan? Oder sött si ihm es Drückerli gäh? Or should she give him a hug? Here is a very amusing story in Swiss German. A woman has heard something at night. It was pitch black when she woke up. It was as though the wall would move. When she put on the light, she discovered a huge grasshopper on the wall. It really scared her. Of course her partner didn't notice anything, so she decided to wake him up and asked him to throw the beast out. He wasn't very enthusiastic about it.  Ich ha hüt i de Nacht öppis ghört, wo mi gweckt het. Do bi-n-i uufgschtande und es isch schtockdunkel gsi. Es isch mir vorchoo als würd sich d Wand bewege.  Wo-n-i s Liecht aazündet ha, ha-n-i e grosse Höigümper a de Wand entdeckt, wo mit sine Flügle zirpet het. Dä het mir schön e Schreck iigjagt.  Mine Maa het vo allem nüt gmerkt. Aber ich ha-ne gweckt und ne bittet, dass er de Höigümper fangt und ne use rüert.  Er isch nid so begeischteret gsi.  TranslationI have heard something at night, which woke me up.
So I got up and it was pitch-black. It was as though the wall would move. When I put on the light, I discovered a massive grasshopper on the wall, who chirped with his wings. This gave me a real scare. My husband didn’t notice anything. But I woke him up and asked him to catch the grasshopper and throw him out. He wasn’t very enthusiastic about that. Today's lesson is inspired by www.momstotszurich.com  Chum, mir gönd i Seilpark! Chum, mir gönd i Seilpark! I Seilpark? Hesch kei Höhenangscht? Nei, s erschte Mol ha-n-i chli Muet bruucht, aber jetz goht s scho guet. Die Lüüt chlätteret so höch i de Böim ume, das wär mir nid ganz ghüür. Du muesch jo nid grad mit em schwirigschte Parcuur aafoh. Es git verschideni Schwirigkeitsgrad. Ich weiss nid. Eigentlich ha-n-i nid richtig Luscht, i Seilpark z goh. Wenn d sälber nid möchtisch chlättere, denn chasch jo eifach zueluege. Es isch ebe so, dass Chind under 16i no e Begleitperson bruuched, wo über 19i isch. Chönd denn d Begleitpersone gratis ine? Nei, d Begleitpersone zahled no 7 Franke. Aber im Iitrittspriis inbegriffe isch au de Iitritt is Freibad, wo grad näbedra isch. Denn chö-mer nochhär no zäme go bade. Das passt mir scho vil besser. Und cha de Tomi au mitcho? De Tomi cha sicher uf de gälbi oder de grüeni Chinderparcuur, aber ich glaube für di andere isch er no z chlii. Det mues mer nämlich 1,55m höch chönne griife. Dialog im SEILPARK
Grüezi, mir möchted gärn 3 Bilet für de Seilpark. Wie alt sind d Chind? De Tomi isch sibni. Chan-er scho uf de Teen-Parcours? Er isch e guete Chlätterer. Nei, es tuet mir leid, er isch grad no chli z chlii zum mit de Grosse z goh. Für ihn isch de Kid-Iitritt besser aapasst. Und das isch de Max, er isch vierzähni. Er cha scho uf alli Parcours, nid wohr? Jo. Er ghört zu de Teens. Und Si, chlätteret Si au? Ich glaube nid. Ich ha chli Höhenangscht. Üsi Inschtruktore zeiged Ihne genau, was si münd mache, denn cha-n-Ine nüt passiere. Gönd Si doch mit Irem junge Kolleg. Das isch doch interessanter als vo unde zuezluege. Wär passt denn uf de Tomi uuf? Es het au Inschtruktore uf em Gländ und er chunt mit de Chinder-Parcours sicher z Schlag, oder? Jo. Ich ha das scho meh als einisch gmacht. Ich chume denn cho luege, wie du z Schlag chunsch! Ich cha s jo probiere. Wivil choschtet denn das? Sind si no i-n-Uusbildig? Jo. Das isch mine Schtudänte-Uuswiis. Ok. Das isch denn 95.- Franke, bitte. Guet, Do sind d Billet und den chönd si grad do wiiter zu mine Kollege go d Chlätter-Uusrüschtig fasse. |
