Hello from England :)

by **brunnhilde** » January 22nd, 2011, 9:46 pm

Hello everybody - I've been a huge fan for about 25 years & am hoping that the tour will get to the UK pls pls pls! I'm British but my partner is German - sadly he's not a fan...

but you can't have everything :lol:

This means I speak very poor German with an appalling accent (apparently)... :shock:

I also love Wagner...

Tschüss!

I've tried to help him, I really have :wink:

I have several accents :wink:

but mostly, I be speakin' South West ish, loike...Bristle, me babber

:shock:

I'm sorry, don't know what came over me there - am living in the West Country & have picked up the local accent but originally from the North

in German apparently I sound like a Turkish builder (which I don't believe is a compliment...) :lol:

by **HANS33** » January 23rd, 2011, 7:58 pm

Haha! If you adapted to the local accent, it must be that you have a feeling for languages!
So I don't believe what you say about your German accent. :wink:

by **brunnhilde** » January 23rd, 2011, 8:03 pm

I get told off about my accent on a daily basis by my man

- annoyingly his english is excellent so we speak mostly english day to day, though I love learning German

...and he still has trouble with "v" & "th"

you should hear him say "Aston Martin V8 Vantage" :shock:

by **HANS33** » January 23rd, 2011, 8:13 pm

With "th" you say? :roll:

yes - he's never mastered the word "clothes" :roll:

"squirrel" is a bit of a challenge too :lol:

on the other hand, my grasp of the umlauter vowels is so poor I'm not convinced I even say his name right :shock:

Hello Brunnhilde! Welcome aboard. Greetings from Russia!

Disco? Well, I'd say that it's better than rap. :wink:

My name is Galya and I also learn German... at least I am taught this language at the Uni. :mrgreen:

It's pretty easy to remember the pronunciation of those ö, ä and ü, but I can't remember to do it in a right way when I read some text aloud. :roll:

Btw, we have a topic "Schprechen Sie Deutsch?" here in Introduce Yourself, so you can see it for yourself how desperate I am in this language. :mrgreen:

PS: a good one, Hans! :lol:
