... talk English here like us the beak grown is!

No, seriously, somebody suggested to start a thread in English and I thought I'd give it a go. Does anybody want to join in?

I think, this can offer a good opportunity in training our English and get some more vacabularies for me.

However, maybe at first we should agree in if and what kind of mistakes should be corrected by our experienced folks?

Yes, I will do. And I hope that if something is wrong here, please correct it. I speak English better than wroting

Yes, I want to try it. But I'm not sure, if I will be succesful. Please correct me or not, if it will be to exhausting.

How about your plans for the weekend?

I will spend my time with my husband and will be on travel. Maybe I take the time on friday afternoon to look for some new shoes, especially some boots for the winter time.

Hello Ladies, nice to meet you in this thread!

I might be able to correct the one or other mistake - but don't ask me for an explanation.
To explain grammar is caro's or brösli's job...I just speak it.

oh, no problem Helmine.

I will colour the wood on our house. We have to do this 3 times. First time is finished. Today and tomorrow I will colour second time.
Furthermore I want to cake a plumcake (Zwetschgenkuchen).
Perhaps I am also able to mow the lawn.

The other time I want to relaxe in the garden, on the sofa or where ever the place seems to be perfect.

What a gorgeous idea!

By now I am quite well trained thanks to my Brit and yesterday I joined an international translators' conference in English ... thank heaven the last two lectures and presentations were in British English!

Furthermore, I have to do a translation into English later and another from English into German.

This thread will surely help me to get in to it again!

BTW: May Brösli, Helmine and I propose corrections and give explanations in German? It might be easier to unstand for those who want to learn.

Surely just a typo: bake

up to now I understood nearly everything!

I promise to join in this thread as often as I can and I am pleased about any help to improve my expression.

I think it's rather "cut the grass". What do the others think?




The rest of the time
relax
or any other place that might be perfect // wherever possible
