Monday VIP live lesson https://app.swiss-german-online.com/home   On this week's Swiss German Online LIVE lesson-podcast, host Kathrin Erni takes you on a ride—literally and linguistically—through Zürich's just-opened Velotunnel. Dug decades ago for a scrapped expressway and finally repurposed in May 2025, this 6-metre-wide, bike-only passage now links Kreis 4 and Kreis 5 beneath the main station.

That meant I spent my time doing other things – crafting, playing outside, hanging out with friends, playing guitar, even reading and drawing. That was just normal. And the internet? That wasn't even around yet!   But then, when I was in 4th grade, at around 11 years old, something big happened – we got a TV! And wow, that changed everything.   Before, I was always busy doing things. But once we had a TV, I started spending more and more time glued to the screen. We didn't even have that many channels, but once I sat down – maybe just to watch the news with my dad – I couldn't stop. It was like a trap.   Nowadays, people talk about social media addiction, but back then, TV was already a problem! I found myself watching more and more, sleeping less, and wasting hours flipping through channels. During the week, I was fine – I had school, homework, guitar lessons, and activities that kept me busy. But on Friday and Saturday evenings, it was the worst. Instead of going to bed early, I'd stay up watching TV until I was completely exhausted.   Even today, moving images still have a hypnotic effect on me. If my kids are watching a bedtime story on TV, I find myself sitting down with them! Maybe it's just an excuse to take a break.

Life wasn't easy – it was tough, demanding, and non-stop! She was always on the move, balancing so many responsibilities: Serving customers with a smile, no matter how busy it got. Handling logistics – making sure everything ran smoothly. Managing the finances – keeping the business afloat. Working with employees – organizing shifts, solving problems. Baking, selling, and keeping everyone happy! She was constantly on her feet, always active, and she never slowed down – not at work, and not even in her free time. She loved walking around Zurich and exploring the mountains. She was truly always on the move. 2️⃣ My Mother – The Social Organizer The second woman we'll talk about is my mother, who was just as active! She worked in different organizations, juggling responsibilities while raising three kids. But that didn't slow her down – she was always on the go, constantly doing something: Attending and organizing social events – always the life of the party. Meeting new people and building connections. Taking courses and learning new things – she never stopped growing. Managing the household while staying active and positive. Just like my grandmother, she never sat still, and she thrived on being busy. She was, and still is, always on the move. 3️⃣ Me – Following in Their Footsteps And finally, there's me. I guess I inherited this restless energy from my grandmother and my mother because I'm always on the go too! I love: Being active – whether it's work, hobbies, or social events. Meeting people, teaching, organizing lessons – never a dull moment! Exploring new places and new ideas – staying curious and adventurous. But unlike them, I have my husband who is the total opposite. He's the one who loves to slow things down, take it easy, and relax. And honestly? I'm grateful for that. He reminds me to pause, breathe, and enjoy life. What About You? What about you? Are you always on the move, like me and the women in my family? Or are you more like my husband – taking life one relaxed moment at a time?

For us, it's constant – music, audiobooks, or podcasts. It's part of our everyday life! For me, listening to audiobooks is my escape. I love diving into new worlds and unwinding through stories. From geopolitics to nutrition, psychology, and even spirituality, I enjoy staying updated on everything happening in the world. Meanwhile, my daughter listens almost exclusively to music – singing and dancing are her passion. And my boys? Patrick, for instance, loves listening to classical music, especially when studying, but they also enjoy podcasts. We're a slightly crazy family – always surrounded by sound. And when someone visits, I turn it all off to connect with them or even talk about what they're listening to. Sure, it can get loud, but that's what makes our home lively!

Hoi zäme und willkomme zum Podcast vo Swiss German Online vom 10. Dezämber 2024! ​Ich bi d Kathrin Erni und hüt rede-mer über es ganz schpeziells Thema: Chnöiprothese. Genau, es goht um de Ersatz vo einzelne Körperteil – und d Frog, was das mit üs und üsem Läbe macht. Denn, wänn s um Prothese oder Organtransplantation goht, het das nid nume mit Medizin z tue, sondern au mit ethische Froge. Mir bringed das natürlich alles uf e lockeri Art und mit emene Augezwinkere i dem mir über d Frogeschtellige reded, wo scho de Stanislaw Lem i einere vo sine Science-Fiction Churzgschichte im “Buech vo de Roboter” thematisiert.   Als erschts möcht-i öich d Gschicht vo miim Mami verzelle, wo sälber sit 4 Johr es künschtlichs Chnöiglänk het: Mini Mueter het mit em Alter einigi Glänkbeschwärde gha, am schlimmschte isch es aber mit de Chnöi gsi. Si het verschideni Therapie wie Physiotherapii oder Oschteopatii probiert und au immer wider Schmärztherapie gha. Si het nid z früeh wölle es künschtlichs Chnöi übercho, wil jo das denn bis am Schluss vo irem Läbe sött hebe. Aber d Verschleiss-Schpure sind scho erheblich gsi und vor vier Johre het si sich entschide, ändlich under s Mässer z goh und de Schritt z woge, wil ires alte Chnöi würklich nümm het funktioniert, und s'Laufe zur Tortur worde isch. Aber si het e super Arzt gha – e richtigi Koriphäe uf siim Gebiet mit mega vil Erfahrig – und d Operation isch e volle Erfolg gsi. Hüt seit si mängisch: "Mis Chnüü isch wider wie nöi!" Si merkt fasch kei Unterschied zwüschem künschtliche und em eigete Chnöi. S einzige, wo si hi-und-da schtört, isch, dass es ab und zue quietscht, aber do cha-mer nid vil degäge mache. S Wichtigste isch: Si het praktisch kei Schmärze meh und isch immer no ganz dynamisch und voller Tatedrang. Was aber, wenn mer sine Körper eifach wott "öpgreide", also besseri Fähigkeite möcht erlange mit Hilf vo de hütige Technik? ...   Contact me to see the whole script https://www.swiss-german-online.com/contact-us.html   VIP Swiss German course https://www.swiss-german-online.com/app.html   Standard German course https://app.german.dog/subscriptions
