#16 Movie Time: No Man’s Land (2001)
▶️ Today’s movie is a tragicomedy (=a film or play that’s both sad and funny) about the 🇺🇳United Nations peace mission in the 🇧🇦Bosnian war of the 1990s. Watch how hostility (=being enemies) between the locals and incompetence (=not having enough ability to do one’s job) among the foreigners prevent every solution!

#24 It’s a strange world: Singularity
❓Are computers smarter than humans? If not, will they be? If yes, when will they be?
❗️ Most experts agree that we’re not far away from this moment, the moment that is called “singularity”. Probably within our lifetime even! So it’s good to know a thing or two (=a couple of things) about it, right?

Well done!
👍 Romania was correct. That was all about the language of the billboard (=big advertising poster). Romanian language belongs to the Romance (=languages based on Latin) family of languages, together with French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
👎 Neighbouring Bulgaria and Greece were wrong because their languages do not use the Latin alphabet. In communist Cuba you may find colonial European architecture but the cars and buses would probably look different, and the language would be Spanish.

#90 Our favourite mistakes: Pronunciation
▶️ Try pronouncing the following words:
• ask
• bath
• castle
• class
• fast
• glass
• maths
• pass
• passport
• passed
• past
• task
❓What do these words have in common?
❗️ They have the long vowel [a:] in British English or [æ:] in American English. Some students want to sound more American but unfortunately pronounce a short [e] here. Whether you prefer British or American accent, the vowel MUST be long!

🎉 Special Day: Teachers' Day
🆕 Special days help us pay more attention to the things and people that matter. Celebrate with Afandi English!
▶️ Today’s video is “Muellim”, a Uyghur music video honouring teachers. The singer is Ablajan Awut Ayup (here's a BBC report about him) who disappeared into one of Xinjiang’s reeducation camps (=prison camp, concentration camp) in 2018. And guess what, today is also China’s national holiday. 🇨🇳😈
Follow the lyrics with English subtitles (if you need them at all).

#56 Travelogue Germany: The Green Republic
Germany is already pretty green and is set to become even greener with the Green Party’s likely role in the future government. Let’s look at a few past achievements:
Renewable energy
About half of all the energy used in Germany comes from renewable sources, such as wind power and solar power. The countryside is dotted with wind turbines and many people have solar panels on their roofs.
Bottle refund
Littering the nature with empty bottles is a costly habit in Germany. When you return your empty bottles to the supermarket you get a bit of money back. Unfortunately the system is quite complicated and fails to reduce the amount of rubbish.
Single-use plastics
You can’t easily find single-use plastic spoons or cups, it’s all been outlawed. Alternatives are made from cardboard or wood, and sometimes you can even find edible plates. But then again, how much of a difference do these items make in the great scheme of things?
