Teaching Cat German on MSN is fun!! Though I should probably tell her how to pronounce all the stuff I am saying.

Yeah, being able to pronounce all that stuff might help

You and me are up

Sweet. Hee hee. Ok. Yeah, ask me how to say stuff.

Hallo Leute,

Ich kann ein bischen Deutsch, aber ich habe fast gar nicht diese schoene Sprache benutzt seit funf Jahre.

I can speak some German but have hardly used this beautiful language for five years.

Ich mag gern Deutsch sprechen, wenn ich die moeglichkeit habe, .

I like speaking Germanb when I get the chance.

Bis bald
Herr Spiff

Hallo Herr Spiff!

Als Co-Head des German Department heiße ich dich herzlich willkommen. Dein Deutsch scheint sehr gut zu sein! Es wird dich bestimmt bald eine(r) der Verantwortlichen auf die Mitgliederliste setzen. Ich nehme an, du möchtest als Speaking Researcher registriert werden?
Man sieht sich!


As co-head of the German Department I’d like to welcome you. Your German seems to be pretty good! I’m sure that someone responsible will put you onto the member list soon. I suppose you want to be registered as speaking researcher?
See you!

Hallo, KatKodl,

Danke fur die Begrussung! (stimmt dieses Wort? Ich bin nicht sicher...)

Ja, es waere schoen, regestriert zu werden - ganz offiziel! ;-D

Ich würde dich ja auf die Liste setzen, aber ich habe nicht die Kompetenzen.

I would put you onto the list, but I don’t have the technical and vocational skills.

it’s "Begrüßung“, in your case "Begruessung“ cause you don’t have "ü“s or "ß“s, I suppose. so there was merely one “e” missing.

katkodl

hallo,

ah, ich *kann* ü tippen, aber nur mit dem 'alt' schluessel. Ein bischen, wie sagt man...

unbequem?

Du verstehst, ich denke, was ich sagen will.

danke, fur die ... ach, alle meine Vokabeln ist weg!!! Korrection, aber ich dachte dass es ein 'Deutsches' Wort gab.

“ue” instead of “ü” will do. as well as “ss” instead of “ß”.

a German word for correction? “(die) Korrektur”

Guys, a tiny tiny tiny little thing which seems to be the only thing I ever get to say here, PLEASE remember to put in translations EVERYWHERE!! If we don't put them in then the Moderators will get mad at us and won't let us keep going. OK?

Thanks guys.

another member! great! hello Freddie! I wonder when someone will put you and Spiff onto the member list� (Cat-Eyes maybe?) but don�t worry� we can already have a little chat here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1832046?thread=431827&latest=1 katkodl

Enschuldigung! Es tut mir Leid dass ich nicht meine Woerter ubersetz habe. Ich finde das etwa langweilig, alles zu ubersetzen, aber ich weiss das ich muss das tun.

So! Ich finde es schwierig, welche saetze Deutsch zu schreiben!

Sorry! I apologise for not having translated my words. I find it a bit of a drag having to translate everything, but I know I really must.

Crikey, I'm finding it difficult to write a few sentences of German!

Herr S(h)peef

Right, Spiff and Freddie, you're up. Spiff, I've got up as speaking cause it's the only bit of it I could read, cause when Kat asked what you wanted to be up as, you said it in German, and I don't speak German...

Yeah...

Tell me if that's wrong.

Cat
