[devils_advocate_for_evil]

[~EdmundsQueen~]

no im learning it in school though! probably a blonde moment but is England International?

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

thats cool i love german! i speak it fluenty (learned it in Atlanta International School @ age 4)

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

I'm dutch and i work in a Hotel in Domburg where mainly german tourists are coming. And I have to speak german there.
Wer spricht ein bisschen deutsch? Es ist gut deustch schreiben zu lernen.

[tgraveline]

ha ha, deine deutsch zu schreiben ist nicht slecht auch. Ich spreche ein bisschen deutsch. Ich habe in Baden-Baden für drei monat gewhönt. (SP?)

tg

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Wir lernen deutsch in die Schule. Aber später, braucht man est nicht viel mehr und es aufzuschreiben ist nicht immer so leicht. Es ist nicht so anderes wie Holländisch.

[killer_dwarf]

ja ich spreche ein bisschen, und ich würde einen 'email'freund/freundin haben. Ich bin 16 Jahre alt und ich studiere seit sechs Jahre Deutsch - im Moment, lerne ich Deutsch für AS Level. Kannst du mir helfen?

[killer_dwarf]

and yeh, is England International?

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Hahaha! German is a cool language, I never used it so much as the last two years. Ich weiss nicht ob ich dir sehr gut helfen kann, weil ich selber nicht sehr gut deutsch schreiben könnte.

[Kitanna]

I don't speak it fluently, but I took it in high school and I loved it. I would have gone on to learn more except me and my German teacher were on the verge of killing each other so I had to drop out. But next semester I'm starting it up again.

[Queen of the Lone Islands]

I do speak German fluently, which is no miracle because I live in Germany :p :D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Hahahahaha!!! That is funny! I think none of us can speak it as good as you do!

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

ich spreche ganz viel deutsch und ich liebe deutsch. Mein schreiben ist aber nicht so gut...:(

[Rhyanidd]

ummm..I speak some German, I'm not very good. I've been taking it for two years, but the program I am useing isn't very good, and I am not very motivated, so if I would just apply myself some I could learn it...But anyway...I can say I must have tea, I think this is it, not completely sure....:eek: here goes....Ich muss haben Tees. that right?

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

what is tees?

[tgraveline]

My gues is that he means Tee as in tea.

tg

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

ja..ich denke das du recht hast!

[Tweetsie]

I feel left out... ah well, I don't speak German, only Hungarian..

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

thats cool tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Empress Keynes]

I'm learning German in school though. Got Frau Scheck as my teachr! :D

[Namaste]

Jemand hat gesagt hat dass mein schriftliches deutsch sehr schlecht ist, desto habe ich kein Bock mehr etwas zu schreiben oder zu beweisen, also das hier ist alles die von mor vorkommen wird. Ich kenne die Sprache ziemlich gut aus, ich verstehe und spreche viel besser als ich schreibe. Ich wohne hier auch nur seit 10 Jahre und meine Muttersprache ist englisch und als ich hierher gezogen bin, könnte ich kaum deutsch sprechen.

~~~
in english:

Someone said that my written German is very bad, so I have no desire to write anything else here except for this. I know the language rather well, I understand much better than I write, and can speak the language rather well, but I only live in Germany a little over 10 years and English is my mother language not German. When I moved here, I couldn't speak hardly a word.

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

Dein deutsch ist ganz gut!! Ich sage dir, deins ist ganz gut, meine ist schlecht! :)

[Tweetsie]

thats cool tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it's not like I have anyone on the forums to mindlessly bable and confuse everyone with.

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

andere leute die deutsch sprechen!?!?!?

[Tweetsie]

I know what three of those words meant!!! Well, I recognized them...

[Rhyanidd]

Yes, Tg, "tees" is "tea" thats what my book said, so I am just doing as it told me, but I wouldnt be surpirsed if it was wrong, you see, my teacher went thourgh it and found a whole bunch of mistakes, and me and my friend have found at least one, and pointed it out, but my teacher didn't say "tees" was wrong...so I figgured it wasnt....*leaves room, comes back in with German book, starts fire and throws book into it, then dance around the fire chanting(in very bad German*'Du ist in der feur'* like I said it is bad german, so just ignore it if it is to painful....*shurgs and leaves room* Guten Abend people!

[Namaste]

Tee is the German word for tea. Tees is the plural form, that is if you want to order one tea in a restaurant, you'd say 'ein Tee', if you wanted two (one for a friend ;)) then you'd say 'zwei Tees'.

Remember too that all nouns in German are capitalized.

[Rhyanidd]

sooooooooooooorrry!! I have a problem with that!!! Normally I remember, I though a lot of the time I will capitilize "ick" and not the nouns....*shakes head, and mutters something about stupid languages and rules*

[Elastigirl]

I can say some stuff in German...but I can't spell them so I can't post them here...but the things I could say are:
I would like a glass of cold milk
thank you
your welcome
what is that?
and some other things that I can't think of right now. :)

[Elvess_Leawyn_Greenleaf]

I can speak a little of German my friend can speak it fluently it used to be her first language! She lived in a German colony in Paraguay. So she's teaching me some!

[Rhyanidd]

My gues is that he means Tee as in tea.

not really

when you want to have two, you should say "zwei Tee", or everyone will regonize that you are no native speaker.


Besides, I am german native speaker

[Elvess_Leawyn_Greenleaf]

That's kewl!

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

i agree with the second person that it is zwei Tee bitte and not Zwei Tees....i am basically a native speaker...

[Rhyanidd]

I'm just doing as I was taught, they'd know I wasn't native no matter what, my teacher is a native german speaker and she didn't say anything....oh well thanks for the advice....

[cathyrh]

i'm on my third year of german. i'm not very good, but i get a lot. my mum lived in germany as a kid, so she is also a good teacher.

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

[Rhyanidd]

urrr!! Ya guys know what? Yesterday I was at play practice, and at one point 'Bill' (thats his name in the play) has to speak German, and I have to sing in French! Well I asked (since I am already taking classes) if I could do the German, and Bill do the French, the director said no. So anyway back to yesterday, Bill didn't quite know all his lines in German and was having trouble with the pronunciation, so I said 'I can teach you the numbers, because they are easier to remember and you'll still be speaking German, and nobody will know you arent exactly following the script!' Bill said 'Yeah that might work' So I started counting 'Ein,etc.....' and the guy who plays Larry said 'Thats swiss!' And I said 'no its German!' he said 'no its Swiss' and I was like 'it maybe Swiss but it is also German' and he kept insisting that it was Swiss. And I said 'Dude My teacher is a native German speaker, thats how you count in German' and he still kept insisting that its Swiss!!! dumb boys!!

[Elvess_Leawyn_Greenleaf]

HAHA that's funny!

[Rhyanidd]

No its not its obnoxious!!

Eine besonders heikle Form des Gefühls, die Eltern zu enttäuschen, ist das Gefühl der Andersartigkeit. Herrschsüchtige Eltern verlangen, dass ihre Kinder ihnen in Temperament und Charakter gleichen.

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

[cathyrh]

hallo alles!

I'll help you out with words.

Ich spreche deutsch seit zwei Jahre, es ist nicht gut. (but it is OK, you don't use it everyday and I think it's fine, I can understand it.)

Ich liebe schreiben (to write...you only conjugate one German verb per sentence generally), und ich liebe lesen (to read).

Or you can just write it as: Ich liebe schreiben und lesen.

[devils_advocate_for_evil]

GO GERMAN! it rocks!

[Rhyanidd]

ok thanks namaste! I forgot the only conjugate one verb per sentence rule! I remembered it yesterday when I was translating stuff for class!

[Namaste]

My most difficult thing with German is the der, die, das rule. Maybe I should go back to watching Sesame Straße here. ;) As that is in the themesong. :D

At any rate, this thread brings to mind my very first German sentence.

Die Sonne scheint und der Himmel ist blau. :D (or something to that effect.)
