Wanderlust
It’s an English loan word now, but originally in German, Wanderlust describes the joy of hiking and expresses a quintessential aspect of German culture.
Living in the present

Ich singe oft.
I often sing.
Ich singe jetzt.
I am singing now.
You gotta like gern
To say that you like to do something, just slap gern after the verb, and bam, you like it!
