Today, we had to talk to someone in class about our weekend and then recount it to the class auf Deutsch. I was sitting next to Jérémy, and so the story goes, on Saturday, him and Jorge went to the Holi Colour Festival with billions of other people and danced around throwing colourful powder at each other. Celine and I ran into them just as they were coming home: “Stand in front of the orange wall cos it’s colourful!” I instructed– “and do a Superman pose!” I added. Then I took a picture.
This is what I got: Jorge on the left, standing sensibly with his hands folded together in front of him like a perfect gentleman, and Jérémy, baring his teeth, glowering at the camera and pulling a strong man’s pose. We passed my phone around the class and everyone giggled at the visual.
Word of the day: Regenbogen, meaning “rainbow”, because Jorge and Jérémy looked like rainbow superheroes.
