Two more people for the list:

SchrEck Inc.
U120894
Speaking and Teaching

and

Timclamp
U1531231
Learning

Done

I've put people who are studying for or have just passed their GCSE(equiv) as learners because...because I say so Because I've taught and learnt GCSE German so just trust me

Kat

...from the Game

I'll tell Neil to register, seems like he'll come sometimes now, I wasn't sure. In fact I din't know he whould come anyhow, I just told him that I was here, that was the reason why he came.

I told him, now it's up to him what he'll do. But he may not read my message until tomorrow or so, so you'll have to wait a bit.

Ok, so I am here, now what do you want with me?
I'm not sure if I count as a German speaker or a German pupil or a teacher or what have you
Tavaron drew my attention to the department and then I saw the word assosciation and I thought I'd post.
My number is U1473918.
Actually I'm not fluent in German, as Tavaron could testify.

So, what do you wish of me?

Neil

Don't ask me, I'm just the messenger.

*calls out loud "ANYBODY ELSE HERE?"*

You certainly are a speaker, but I'd say you are learner too.

Kat will be back tomorrow, she's on a plane home right now.
Neilitude, you could specify if you want to be listed as a learning researcher, learning/speaking researcher, or what. I don't think we need any more teachers, we'll only outnumber our pupils

...Kat and ratkodl aren't online now, but they'll see your post later and certainly add you.

Sehr gut, ich werde als Sprecher und Lerner eingetragen.

Very well, I'll be registered as speaker and learner.

Neil

Also werden wir den Kampf um die Schüler noch einmal verschieben...

So we will postpone the battle about the pupils...

Hey! I've registered as a learning researcher, but I've been on the speaking thread a bit too- should I be down as a speaking and learning researcher?

Da musst du auf die Chefin warten glaube ich, sie scheint aber derzeit nicht da zu sein.

You've got to wait for the boss I think, but she doesn't seem to be there at the moment.

Yes! Vamster's German is pretty good, (s)he should definitely be listed as speaking researcher as well.
(Vamster, are you female or male by the way? )

*YAWWWWNNN*

Okay I'm heeerrreee...may you all be forgiven for hoiking me up and about with jet-lag.

I'll add Neil tomorrow morning after I've slept and won't throw a tantrum at the coding.

Vamster you can't be counted as a speaker. A speaker is someone who is definitely more fluent...you know? So someone who has been studying a language for 5 years and is taking a degree in it...would be a speaking researcher. The teachers are all speaking reseachers...us noggins who only have the GCSE or Alevel...are not speaking

Kat (the boss )

Why are you registered as a speaking researcher then, Kat?

Am I?? Shucks I thought I changed that ages ago when I prodded all the lists. Okay I'm going to overhaul the entire thing tomorrow morning then, I thought I'd already done that

Okay Vamster is now a speaking reseacher and a learning one...I'm a learning one...is there anything more whilst I'm on the account?

Do we really have to be so strict about these categories? I mean, in my opinion if people take part actively in the speaking thread, then they should be registered as speaking researchers. Unless they are total beginners, and can't say more than "hallo" and "wie geht's?".

I think this is something we will discuss by email, preferably tomorrow

In reality the list doesn't matter, it just vaguely means that I can keep track of what's going on, it's mainly for my benefit to be honest.

Thanks Kat!To be honest, I don't mind what you put me down as, i'll still go on the speaking thread, i just wondered so's you'd know what's going on.

Thanks for the recommendation ratkodlI'm female by the way- you mean you can't tell over the internet?And yourself?!
