Bis Später

 


Way, way back, when I was an incredibly tiny bear, I studied German for two years in school. I've decided to re-learn the language. It's time to take it to a place where I could go on holiday to a German-speaking place, and not be embarrassed.

For the last month, I've been using Duolingo. New vocabulary and phrases are being learned. One is 'Bis später.'. It means 'see you later',  as in a few hours. It's what a person might say when leaving the house. 

Whilst watching Laura Kampf on youtube, I heard someone say 'Bis später'. It brought so much joy that I understood immediately. There was no thought, no translation, It was as normal, and as natural as someone saying 'See you later'.  This feels like a very good sign.
