What does it mean to have an important job and at the same time have a child or as in Elisa's case even two or more children. How do you manage to get two full-time jobs into a 7-day week, so to speak, and what's fun about it?

She gives us insights into her world and tells us what she wishes should go better.

Today we talk with Marie Luise about translating. For millennia we have been trying to communicate as humans and again and again people have tried to make it easier by making the hurdles of communication smaller through translators, for example.

Now there is the development towards artificial intelligences and non-human translation. This naturally raises the question: should we still learn languages? How important is the profession of a translator and what makes it possible to reproduce the content of texts in other languages really well?

Today Lubina and Branko talk about minimalism and possessions. But what is the best way to deal with all the stuff and what does it mean in the future?

Minimalism, or even just a certain kind of limitations to the most important things, logically leads to more order and less responsibility. In the process, today we're talking about home decor, lifestyles, and how that evolved for Lubina when Branko was a child to when he moved out.

Have fun listening! Feel free to give us your feedback and tell us what you found interesting about it. Feel free to tell us what you got out of minimalism. :D

Bi- or multilingual education is becoming more and more of an topic in an ever more globalized world. But how do you deal with it and what does it mean to educate your children multilingually? How do you deal with it as a parent? And how do children accept this offer?
