Basel Art Room, Nic Oatridge

This week, Basel Art Room's Beth Procopio came into the studio to tell us about the drawing and painting classes that are starting up on February 3rd and 18th, respectively. The classes are designed for beginners with little to no experience and are conveniently scheduled for Tuesday evenings!

Nic Oatridge talked to Kiwi Jon about skiing in Andermatt. Andermatt is a pretty village with a good snow record and impressive skiing and boarding on the Gemsstock, including some fabulous off-piste runs. Near the station are the sunny slopes of the Natschen which hosts a range of winter activities and provide good facilities for learners and intermediates.

Nirvana, Blur, Pavement, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pulp, Republica and No Doubt were just a few of the bands you heard on the show tonight - our music selection this week was pure 90s!

Swissgerman Phrase of the Week

This week's expression is "Wie goots Ihne?" - "Dangge, guet!" ("How are you?" - "Good, thanks!"). More informally, you could also just say "Wie goots?" ("How's it going?"). The English Show: taking you beyond that first "hello"!
