just found out the 'Nachweise über den Erwerb von 120 ECTS-Leistungspunkten' needed for a masters degree doesn't receive an _at least_ reading. in unrelated news, I can't graduate until the extra CPs I have are removed from the online portal because das ist nicht erlaubt

deutsche Bahn announcement: 'my name is Melanie if you have any questions.' and how do I address you if I just want to chat? 🍪
things I have to suppress 24/7: writing -ɔŋ words in German as -ong Goodbye French, the Swedes are right about Betong and Ballong

announcement on the train I’m currently sitting in: 'we wish you a peasant journey'
