h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Then I'll safe my drawing another time, for it seems to be a bit too much for my computer.

Ok.... see, this is after a bunch of stuff about youth hostiles and the rules there and a few of them that some people went to and wrote about and stuff.............. Aaaaaaanyway....


Ich finde die Jugendherberge am Schluchsee am besten, weil ich mein Eislaufen verbessern möchte.

Which is meant to mean something like "I think the youth hostile at Schluchsee is the best because I would like to improve my ice skating."

But I almost definitely screwed it up, and would rather have you people tell me what I did wrong instead of my German teacher because here I'll be able to find out why it was wrong, whereas on the phone I am too scared to say anything.

In my opinion the sentence is not wrong, but the part after the comma sounds a bit... I don't know if you can say it that way, but mybe that's just my impression.

it's the "mein Eislaufen" which doesn't really fit. But what's a better way to say it? Let me think...
Maybe something like: weil ich meine Fähigkeiten im Eislaufen verbessern möchte (because I want to improve my skills in ice skating)

Sooo... I was wrong, but not wrong....? Either way... *writes down your replacemnt ending*

Yes, you could also say that you were right in a wrong way if you like that better.

In Austria we whould say it sounds "böhmisch" (Bohemian), which means that it sounds a bit wrong or queer.

By the way....it's hostel

Can I have a simple thing to write 100 words on please? I've realised just HOW out of practice I am.

Oh my... I'm just finishing my plan, so I can only think of houses now.
But you certainly don't want to describe your house or something like that...

Can do...I'll do it for homework tonight

I do homework since 2 weeks now and hope that I can finish today... I'm just duplicating trees

Kat, we wäre es wenn du uns das Rezept (Zutaten und Zubereitung) eines deiner Lieblingsgerichte aufschriebest ? dann würden wir alle davon profitieren.

Kat, how about if you wrote down the recipe ( ingredients and how to do)of one of your favorite meals, then we'd all profit.

Danke B'Elana, mein nächster Themenvorschlag wären vermutlich Fußböden gewesen...

Thanks B'Elana, my next suggestion whould have probably been floors...

(Sorry, today I cant talk in a normal way)

Das ist nur, weil ich Beschreibungen von Häusern so langweilig finde


That's only because I find descriptions of houses so boring

Häuser sind toll! (gut, selber eine Beschreibung vom eigenen Haus zu schreiben ist wirklich etwas langweilig)


Houses are great! (ok, writing a description of the own house is a bit boring)

(writing a description of one's own house...)

Thanks

Ich kann euch jetzt ganz viele Stahlwerke beschreiben...
I can describe a lot of steel factories to you now...

Eine meiner Lieblingsessen ist Kaese auf Toast. Es ist schnell und koestlich.

Man muss Brot und Kaese und Worcestersosse, oder Marmite kaufen. Wenn man nicht Marmite mag oder nicht weiss was es ist, ist Worcestersauce die Antwort.

Man sollte zwei Stuecke Brot in den Toaster setzen und fuer ein-zwei Minuten kochen. Dann verbreiten Sie Marmite auf dem Toast, wenn Sie es benutzen. Zerreiben Kaese auf den Toast, und fuegen Sie Worcestersosse auf den Kaese (wenn man nicht Marmite zerreiben hat).

Schalten Sie den Grill zu Maximum, und setzen den Toast unter den Grill. Kochen es bis der Kaese geschmolzen ist.

Essen mit ein grosse Tasse Kaffee!

One of my favourite foods is cheese on toast. It is quick and delicious.

You must buy bread and cheese and Worcester Sauce, or Marmite. If you do not know what Marmite is or do not like it then Worcester Sauce is the answer.

You should put two pieces of bread in the toast and cook for one-two minutes. Then spread Marmite on the toast if you are using it. Grate cheese onto the toast and add Worcester Sauce onto the cheese (if you haven't added Marmite).

Heat the grill to maximum and put the toast under the grill. Cook it until the cheese is melted.

Eat with a big mug of coffee

At least I HOPE that's what it says

Kat

Kat, that's great, delicious (well, if you like Marmite) and so easy to prepare. Do you want me to correct it ?

Kat, das ist großartig( when du Vitam R magst)und so leicht zuzubereiten. Möchtest du dass ich es korrigiere ?

I do indeed want you to correct it and you could use Worcester sauce...unless you're vege, in which case I suppose you just go without...

Kat

Sehr gut!
Klingt interessant, ja.
Ich korrigiere es gerade. Oder soll ich nicht?

Very good!
Sounds interesting, yes.
I'm just correcting it. Or shouldn't I?
