Hello Neilitude! As Head of the German Department I�d like to welcome you! I�ve read the conversation in the sign up thread, and I think we�ll list you as learning and speaking researcher, i.e. Kat will add you, I don�t have the password. She�s always pretty lazy where listing new people is concerned, so it could take her a few days to do so. Here are some links that might be helpful for you: The German Department is to be found here: A2718001 The German Speaking Thread: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1832046?thread=431827&latest=1 The Teaching Thread: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1832046?thread=446457&latest=1 The old game no one likes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1832046?thread=506163&skip=300&show=20 The new game you�ve obviously already found: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1832046?thread=634362&latest=1 (There are some more threads, but these are the most active ones.) Please give a translation in English for everything you post in German. (That�s due to the house rules.) The teachers correct everything in the Teaching Thread, but we only correct recurring mistakes in the Speaking Thread. (If a learner asks for a correction in the Speaking Thread we provide one of course.) If you have any questions you can ask me, or Kat U234368 (who is the founder of The Language Thing by the way). Looking forward to seeing you around the German Threads! Have a nice day! katkodl (ratkodl)
