The title of this blog would have been far more apt around February of last year, as it refers to a few of my favorite German words: Naktschnecken, Schildkröten, and Regenbogenhäute. Slugs, turtles, and irises to those of us whose mother tongue affords us less literal terminology. I named it thus, however, in anticipation for my move to Paris in September, which I hope to document in this blog. Discovering lingusitic and cultural differences is the most stimulating part of living abroad for me, and these words represent just how eye-opening the learning of a simple word or turn of phrase can be.
Ergo: Naked Snails, Shield-toads, and Rainbow Skins. Viel Spaß damit :)
