OT German speaker
"Sacha" wrote in message .uk... Does anyone here speak good German? If so, would you be willing to translate a couple of short emails back and forth between us and Pillnitz gardens? If so, please email me at -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have many contacts in Germany and all [under 80s] have always been more than willing to use English. When I've visited, I'm reminded that they didn't invite me to listen to my "Ruddy German"!! They want to hear my English. Try asking them to use English~ you might be surprised. OT~~ The Scandinavians generally speak very good English. Better than many English youths. Their films are never dubbed~~ only subtitled, so they hear English from the nursery. The French won't/don't understand either my French or English unless they are bound to do so. [I use their ATC with difficulty]. I note this week that French is reported to be such an imprecise language that the most recent 'Harry Potter' book is 150 pages longer than the English version!! Best Wishes Brian. |
