What a condescendence, I’m an American that wants to be in Germany.

But WHY? I just read a chart this morning that showed that Germans pay more taxes than everyone else. For an average single workman, 43% of everything. FORTY THREE PER CENT.

They get to drink beer at work!

That's keeping perspective, SG. BTW, "condescendence" instead of "coincidence"? Was that malapropism a mistake or a joke?

Look at the services they get, I say, and what percentage of their income they need to spend on other things.

Hello.

What's your native language? Weil ich Deutsches sprechen kann.

I like many speaks, I think Finnish I can listin many Finnish words. But I don't understand one word. It's funny to listen.

I like speak english, it's not my best language. But I must lern it.

Und doch ist Deutsch die sprache, welche ich mit viel kraft und schnellen rytman spechen kann, so möge es sein das ich lern zu sprechen english, denn soltle es so sein das cih niemals english, wie die sprache meiner mutter, zu sprechen vermag so solle ich wohl ein törrichter versager bleiben. Dem es vergönnt ist diese alle Wunder der Kuluter und der Künste dieser leute zu denen cih schnell mag zu gehören. So werde ich niemals Glücklich. Und bei dem Lied "Father and son" von Cat Stevens hatt der Junge recht nicht der Alte. Der jugne sagt er muß gehen denn er muß sienen weg finden Glücklich zu werden nicht ist jedem sein glück auf die gleische weiße beschieden.

Mit anderen worten.

Please, Please speak english to me.

hello.

your English takes some effort to read, but is understandable.


"
A tramp right. Waths so nice on a homeless life, it's for me but a life long is it a very bad thing. Have you read "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxis" by "Douglas Adams"? "


that is similar to me saying it would be a nice life as a ww2 pilot. have you read "Stuka Pilot" by Rudel.

I havent read "Stuka Pilot" Stuke is a short name of "Sutzkampfbomber" german planes.

Homeless, definir home. Some peoples home is the wood?

But what think you is a good idea to life your live?

Hello, Captain, please accept this leet-speek translator as my welcoming gift to you.

Don't worry, this one's the new, safer, model.

People kept suing me for causing "grievances".

It's not my fault those emo kids bought cases full of them!


Please also accept this box of the finest bread in america, which STILL tastes like paper anyway.

American bread has a way of doing that.

(Oh, and my ex-girlfriend likes Tokio Hotel. I'm indifferent to them, though)

Also, you're getting "live" and "life" mixed up.

"Live" is the verb, used in sentences like "I live next door to him," or the title "Saturday Night Live," and can be pronounced like "lid" or "hive", respectively.

"life" is the noun, used in sentences like "She gave me life," and is pronounced like "rife"

And then there's "Alive", which is used in sentences like "Why am I alive?" and is the present tense, used when your talking about what's happening right now. It's pronounced approximately like "hive", except with an 'a' at the end.

"Lived" is the past tense, used when speaking of events in the past, and is pronounced like "livid", but without the second 'i'.

English is a difficult language, so even an enthusiast like me is kinda confused.

I may edit this post later, to make it clearer, as I am very tired and stayed up all night.

It isn't the DDR, it is the DDR. YOu need 50% of watercost energiecost. ANd what mean you with services? What for services. The DDR have many service. Evryone have a job, no many money but you don't need many money. But the DDR is no to stay today. Germany is very expensive at these days. I realy don't know what you know about germany?

For some people, yes.

Like me.

I may love the language, but I could never remember all those word classes.... The only ones I could ever remember were 'noun' (a person, place, thing, or state of being) and 'verb' (an action).

Things like that just aren't how how my brain works.

I... wasn't typing in German...
