Hi there!
I just found this forum a few days ago when I was searching an englishspeaking forum that would fit my interests. I had to find out, that this is not that easy (didn´t find a good forum for general book-discussions..they are allways related to special themes or authors).
But then I got to this forum and I´m amazed. The last few days I spend a bit with just reading through the sections, and what I found was quite intresting! So I decided to register today.
I hope you will be patient with me and my english-writing-skills. I was searching for an english forum, because i noticed, that understanding spoken and written english is just not the same, than to have to use it yourself. It´s so much harder to impress yourself, find the right words and (especially [:-\] ) tenses. But I would really like to get much more into this. And I thought being active in a forum would be a fun way. (so please feel free to correct me, if I´m doing the same mistake over and over again ;-) ).
Ny the way, I´m from Germany, 26 years old, student of a biological subject and therefor my major intrests are in biological, natural sciences.

Feel free to ask anything about vitamin D, "cod" and any other atrocity [:D]
Enjoy your biological studies!
Take care

The English on this Forum is way below standard. It is full of common people with no linguistic skills. Doctor Beaver is the only person/animal that I would trust. He has a good turn of phrase.
Beware of inferior English.
Welcome to the lunatic asylum. I think you will fit in well. Straight jackets are against the far wall.

Haha...no...there has happen more than this to frighten me ;-p
I´m not scared of bad english....it´s around me all the time...and not only that...its also in my head [;D]
-
If it's bad English you seek, then welcome, Atrox.

If you want to hear really bad English, talk to an American [;D]

No...I have been in England (Liverpool) some years ago and worked in a hostel there... I think noone speaks worse than a trunken Scottish [;)]

-
Ah, so you know how to "go on the rob".

Of course I do, Paul. The only reason why I spent my Time there.. and I bet you know what I ment with "work in a hostel" [;)] [;D]
But it was somehow a pretty strange feeling to see some place in the city where I used to be everey day... felt a bit like a soft trace of homesickness..
But to be honest: Me and my friends and colleagues had some very creepy moments there, too.
...there was this moment, when I was standing at a busstopp and sudenly a girl standing next to me began to sream an reached for her eye. Some idiots had thrown an egg out of a driving car and it hit her eye.
Or the moment my colleague came home one evening with a new scar at his forehead...some idiots gave him a headbut out of the blue, only because he was there. They didn´t even speak to him.
Or some really stupid people... realising I came from Germany, they got aggressive, called me Hitler and such things... fortunately there were only a very small number of them...but the first time I got such an reaction, I was really really shocked!
I think, if I had know before, how dangerous Liverpool can be, I would have chosen another city to stay (ok...now I´m completely confused about the right tenses..)
@Make it Lady: Ok, I will have a look at this thread ;)

atrox - the word is "drunken" not "trunken". "Trunken" is what German elephants have [:D]
-
oh...ok....thank you!
In german we would say "betrunken"... maybe I mixed it up ;-)
-
Ich weiß den.
Where in Germany do you live? I was in München for a year and later worked a lot in Frankfurt (actually Maintal just east of Frankfurt).
-
I lived in Munster, well, only for the year after I was born.

At the moment I live in Göttingen...near Frankfurt/Main in the very center of Germany. But I will move by the end of summer in late september... but I´m not sure in which city yet. Could be Greifswald at the Baltic Sea in the east of Germany, or Münster/Westfalen in the western area (I think thats also the Münster, Paul was speaking of...when you just say Münster, its usually this one...like its usually Frankfurt am Main when you just say Frankfurt). I used to live in Münster before, but only for a few month. Nice city...but I would love to live at the sea ;)
But originally I come from Leipzig, and I love it... so I´m a ´bit sorry, that I´m not able to live there, and maybe never will be. But it´s hard to find a Job there... these days you have to move a lot to make your way .. but thats also ok for me, I love to see new places..
-
Yes, I did mean Frankfurt-am-Main.
There's a very famous university at Göttingen - Georg-August. Some of the biggest names in science have studied or taught there:-
Max Born
Max Planck
J Robert Oppenheimer
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Johann Dirichlet
to name but a few.
I also believe that Otto von Bismark studied there.
By the way, did you know that it was King George II of England who ordered the university to be established?
-
no, i didn´t know that.
Oh well...then keep my name (oh yeah, that you don´t know *g*) in mind.. I´m studying Biodiversity and Ecologie here... well, in fact, not anymore...

Yes Liverpool is a law unto itself. This is why I will always be a country girl.
