A thread for all those who would like to speak a little bit of English now and then.

I now declare this thread open.

Anyone is welcome!

Oh gosh, since I'm watching so much How I met ur Mom in english I totally use english vocabulary. I think this has to stop! I Probably start annoying my friends..

Don't worry about that. Just tell 'em it 's cool nowadays to use english terms and that you 're heavy on wire.

I spoke to two or three friends via ICQ today and totally mixed up german and english. But they didn't let on about it.. so maybe all good.

Most favoured vocab these days: totally & awesome!

All I do is watching American shows and reading books in their origin.
For me, It's sometimes hard to think of a german word because the english one is all I can think of.

@Guddo:
Oh yeah, that's a prob Ah know sometimes, too.


@Kami:
Yeah, the uprising of "denglish".

Concerning myself, Ah think Ah've read to many english comics in my youth. My english 's a little bit sloppy.
Ah use many american terms in ma articulation.


And ma fav'rite vocabs differ a little from yours... .

I went to an international school for two years in the UK (so basically I lived in the Uk for two years) so my english should be somewhat near perfect but over the last couple of years I lost quite a bit of the various vocab I used to have.
That's such a shame.

Eglish books and movies are a good opportunity to keep the language running.

Last week i ordered a english book. "Brave new World", written by Vintage Huxley.
It was delivered on Friday, but to be honest, i didn't read any Page yet.
Not because i am lazy, i just have no time left right now.

Oh yes, that of course. And reading comics, as I mentoined already.

In fact, some books aren't translated into german, so the only opportunity is reading them in english.
Like ma favorite, "If I did it", by O.J. Simpson... .



The prob in hand is, that ma business english has gotten a little rusty over the years... .
Ah think Ah'll have to sit down and learn it from scratch, if it'll ever be necessary again.

nae time fa fishin' yet! kicka ye boggin, bigjobs!

Anyone read "A clockwork orange" in english?
I had to .
In school.

Not the best way to teach the pupils how funny it is to read books in english

I heard so much about clockwork orange!

Isn't there even a movie? I think I know the soundtrack.

I saw the movie. It was quite wired.
But some say it's cult...

Yes, there is a movie. I think most people only know the movie.

The problem about the book is that the people talk in a strange slang mixed with other languages. For example: instead of "milk" they say "moloko".

And with too many words like these I had many problems to understand the text really good.



After reading that book we also watched the movie

Sounds like Russian.

I've seen the film, too.

It's a bit on the violent side .....
