The best bonus would be for you to brush your teeth

But...where do you all have learned German!? Sonic God knows German, Shadowfox is also able to speak it, Borah too...where have you all learned German? Is it really such an important language like English, Spanish or Japanese?

"Wenn ihr wollt kann ich euch ja dabei helfen eure Deutschkenntnisse etwas zu erweitern."

"If you want can I yourself yes included help your German knowledge something to broaden."

And to correct the grammar here... as German IS NOT English:

"If you want I can help you broaden your German knowledge [a little bit]."

And actually, I would love that.

It took me a while to break apart your statement.

My family's heritage is from Germany, over 90%, though I do have some Polish and Swedish in me. Also a bit of French somewhere. The Reese name comes from the Welsh word "Reis." It is Welsh and North German. I'm also related to Stockingers, Dillenburgs, and Jepsons. I'm also an ancestor of H. B. Reese, maker of the Reese's candy, now owned by Hershey.

BTW, you can catch me on http://go.ezboard.com/bvitanispride and http://www.pride-lands.org . Both are German and English-speaking communities which I moderate/administrate.

Shadow, quiiiet!

Hm...very good, Sonic God!
Was the sentence to hard for you so that it took you some time, you mean?

I have relatives in Canada who escaped to this country in the...first, or second...world war. And my grandfather has escaped from Hungary to Austria.

So...you know German really well?
Your realtives have been all German people until they began to settle in other countries? Wow...so seen you're half a German.

My whole family is Austrian except my grandfather...oh yeah...

I am not shouting, Mieko - have a look at the ears as well

BTW - The Sonic God - this "pride-lands.org" do you find it "easy to navigate a.k.a user-friendly"? Just a question.

Can I do anything for you to build up your confidence again?

Would be a real pity if Shadow would stop writing nonsense and being always madly...

The sentence I had to break down word for word. Most words I knew, but other's I've needed assistance with my Oxford English-German dictionary here (Und es ist eine Deutsch-Englisch Woerterbuch).

Back during the World Wars, my great-great grandparents absolutely forbid teaching their children German, in fear of what the community would do to their kids if they spoke German. Racism reigned supreme, so any German-speaking individual in the US would be seen as a Nazi, and must be taken down. Our country is not as great as it seems.

My German knowledge is limited, but I understand it to a certain extent. I can construct small, but simple statements. My grammar still needs a lot of work, including assistance in Nominative, Dative, Genitive, and Accusative cases. The way German statements are formed confuses me in the way words are also used redundantly. This may be perfectly acceptable in German, but in English, it's seen as faux-pas.

Both sites mentioned are easy to navigate.

To be honest, it's phpBB interface I am used to.. that's why the other one seems "zig-zag"

The Sonic God

I can't figure out why this forum won't let me type German vowels... yet it will let anyone else do it.
