Angelique "Angelika" Scharmach moved to Jablonec nad Nisou (Northern Bohemia) in September 2020. As she is brand new in the Czech Republic, we played a small game where we are talking about German loanwords (Germanisms) in Czech language. As the land of today's Czechia was ruled for nearly 4 centuries by Austrian kings and emperors, there are still some words from German which we have adapted into the Czech language. But as Czechoslovakia was established in 1918, many of these words sound archaic to the current generation of Germans. So let's see how it goes.

Mentioned words: flaška, flek, deka, rentgen, raubíř, hochštapler, fajnšmekr, ruksak, taška,...

Then we also spoke with Angelika about her story - why did she and her husband move to Czechia and how they are doing so far in very unusual times of corona restrictions.

Angelika has her YT channel Creative in Czech: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKMZN3-kehhoBdDIy9lN0PA where she is sharing experience from her new home - focusing on nature and crafts, so don't forget to check it out!
