Würde mich freuen heir mal bisschen auf Deutsch zu schrieben.
Gruss Helmi

Cool.

Would you mind translating at the same time? You never know there may be something very relevant for the rest of us and we would missing not being able to read Swedish.

Smile, this should become a Tread in one German and not in Swedish or English.
It takes me just sometimes more sore how many people in this forum from my region come or in general German speak.
Please, excuses me, my English is not so good.
Regarts Helmi

I am sorry. I do know the difference but was thinking faster than I was typing. (lol which is a feat given I type at about 90 wpm when I am on a roll)

Thanks for setting it straight not only for me but for others as well.

Helmi asked if there is anyone here who speaks German because it would be enjoyable to communicate in German.

[ellshere]

I do not speak German. I did start a thread called Which Country are you From in this section possibly someone will respond there who might speak German

Would you be able to teach us phrases in German? Useful things that regular everyday people speak? I find translation sites do a bad job or sound too formal. What are cool phrases and everyday things people say to each other in German that you would hear in real conversation between friends?

Some things I would like to know are like this:
I hope you're feeling better!
What the heck does that mean?
No way!
You're not serious are you?
Break a leg
I hope this is a huge success!
That was so cute
That was so bizarre
Have a great weekend
Long day!
What's up, hope you are fine and happy and all that good stuff.

If this is a boring thing to do that's okay i just thought I'd ask! I have German friends I would love to use the language more at least in writing them They'd be surprised to have me using their language!
