Re: German speakers

Auf wiedersehen*

What kinds of things are you looking for? I took a couple years of Deutsch in highschool. It won't help you much if you don't know how to pronunciate, or what the grammatical nuances of the language are.

Ich habe einen Kuhlschrank in meine hosen! ~ I have a refrigerator in my pants!

Du bist dick! ~ You are fat!

If you want to order or purchase something you can say...

Re: German speakers

IGP yikes:) long time not seen

and the art of translation is not just translatting the exact thing,
can't remember which 'famous people it were whom figured this out, startign somewhere already in the middle ages
but translating is not only language but aswell culturaly, (the bible has some non sense making if translated directly from italian etc) and like this story of a chinese tolk whom didn't translate the 'fuckyou's' in his boss' speech saved quoet a lot (would mean a whole different thing to the chinese workers there) and the boss was happy he didn't translate it like that afterwards wink

Re: German speakers

Also chris I have seen Downfall and it is a very good movie. The reason im trying to learn a little German is because I'm trying to impress this very cute german girl. Also EDN seems to notice my problem with online translators tongue

Re: German speakers

I knew some german girls aswell,
anyways I don't think showing of your german skills would impress them
it's not the period from during before 44, maybe just a few words to show you apreciate it
but if you start greeting her she might even think you have this 'wrong' image of her
unless she speaks verry few english but then she probably wants to learn it more, so she would
appreciate speaking good/beautifull english but slow and clear and maybe you can tell her you like
to learn german, and perhaps you can have a kind of date where you 'teach' eachother and you
will find out if you two fit together or if she will never fall in love with a geek like you (j/k tongue)

just try to get near and start some conversations, say hi and smile and be yourself and destiny 'll do it's work.

Re: German speakers

but when you reached the level where you can tell her that you love her you might say 'Ich liebe dich"

or when you want to give her a wedding ring "Ich habe etwas fur dich" "Willst du mir heiraten"
('I have something for you' 'dyou want to marry me')

Re: German speakers

wtf, I didn't say anything about love being there already

I said 'When you reach the level'  WHEN wink

it doesn't matter if there already is or if there never will be
it was a futureforwarding hypothesy
still on subject
