Umm... Should I have registered here before going on the other German threads?

no, it's ok, but good that you do now

Welcome to the German Department!

I'm Marinamer Researcher number 11044094, please sign me up as a Learning researcher. I'm a beginner German student. I know very little and would really like help in order to advance. Thank you.

I think that meeting German people and sharing authentic conversations with the is really beneficial for a German language student.

hi, welcome to the German Department

I threatened to approach the department. I'd like to dip my toe in the water, but please don't expect major fluency. I learned the language aeons ago, and it looks as if it'll run away if I don't do something about it!

have a nice day

I am justquietman, 14276711. I would consider myself a Learning Researcher. I find it difficult to initiate a German conversation (mostly because of limited vocabulary, and never remembering gender). I haven't studied German since high school.

I now work in the US office of a German firm. I am hoping that, by lurking and occasionaly responding to this thread, I can see examples and get practice in correct grammar and coherent sentences. I can ask for a beer and say hello and goodbye, but need more business-oriented language examples. My pronunciation is OK.
I saw a link to http://www.d-seite.de/index.html, and will try that as well, but that's a bit more immersion in German-only lessons than I can handle.

Welcome, then

Are you around, Tav?

I am now!

Hello, and welcome to the German Department!

Danke sehr (Thanks very much.)
