Englisch

Heute bin ich dankbar, dass ich als Amerikanerin alles machen kann in Deutschland.

Today I am thankful that I an American can get by in Germany.

 

I respect the Germans and their crazy complicated language, which is why I am trying to learn the laguage, but I am always thrilled to see things like this:

and it's heartwarming to hear English songs on the radio.

 

 

I went to look for eyeglasses today and in one of the shops I said, "I just want to look," (in Deutsch of course) and she said (also in Deutsch), "What language do you speak?" (My American accent gives me away EVERY time.) I said English. She said, ok let's try it and we spoke the whole time in English.

 

Unfortunantely my English is getting a little schlecht.

Sometimes when I try to form sentences in English, I canNOT think of the right word, so I use a Deutsch word. (see the sentence above)
