Ich hoffe das es jemand auf diesem forum die Deutsch kann gibt. Ich will uben. Ich habe nicht seit lang Deutsch gesprochen.

Kennt jemand eine Geschaft in Sheffield wo man echte Deustche Fleischwuerste kaufen kann?

Herr Tim

Sprechen Sie bitte Englisch auf diesem Forum.

Danke,

K

Ich kann Deutsch! Weiss nicht aber wo eine Fleischwuerstgeschaeft zu finden ist. Schick mir eine PM, wenn du Lust hast, auf Deutsch zu reden :)

wat is das...das und dick und doof!!!! :clap:

There is a Polish delicatessen in Castle Market which has a large selection.

Hey, vielleicht sollen wir einen "Deutsch Forum" club starten und eventuel auch einen Stammtisch hier in Hillsborough? Drei deutsch sprechenden gibt es schon....

Would anybody be interested in joining a German speaking Forum Club if it was allowed? We could have our own German speaking moderator in Kristian and meet up regulary to practice!

Was ist das?

Das ist der kucken!

(Yum yum)

I think that's a great idea, I'd definitely be interested :clap:

Sounds good, be sure to e-mail me though so I have it 'on record'.

<--- e-mail address is on the contact us page.

Excellent idea! My housemates speaks Deutsch as well. So that's four. Im a bit rusty. Are any of you guys actually german??? That's always good!

Not actually German but have clocked up two and a bit years there. Would love to live there again but tied to Hillsborough so rely on German telly on satellite to keep the language going Definitely need more speakig practice as fluency is slipping so I'm definitely up for a Stammtisch sessions. Fancy it?

Yeah why not! If we could recruit some germans might be good. Der Hillsborough Stammtisch. Geil!

Ich denke Aldi hast Deutsch Wurst. Vielleicht Waitrose.

Als ich jung war, ich lernst Deutsch in die Schule fur zwei Jahre.
Ich hatte eine GCSE auf Deutsch.

Alex

Not my thing, but why don't you try the Bochum forum? It is Sheffields twin town......

Nicht meine Sache aber, warum nicht Sie Versuch das Bochumforum, es sind Doppelstadt Sheffields

I know a little German, he's sat over there.

Fleischwurst kannst Du in Lidl und Aldi kaufen.

Mein Deutsch ist ziemlich gut. Ich bin dort geboren. Ich bin Deutscher. Ich bin nicht Parcher. Ich bin ihr Ehemann.

Ich liebe Bratwurst, aber zweifellos nicht Schweinknöchel. Ich möchte am Sommer gehen, aber spreche deutsches wenig :(

Ich würde lieben, bis einem Oktoberfest.

Hallo,

Ich bin Englanderin und komme aus Sheffield. Ich wohne aber jetzt in Deutschland und bin mit einem Deutschen verheiratet. Ich schreibe nicht so gut Deutsch aber spreche es ziemlich gut. Wir können vielleicht zusammen üben wenn Du möchtests.

I'm going to dust off my enigma machine and then i'll let you know:D

Erwähnen Sie nicht den Krieg

I am trying to pick it up again, but its hard on your own to get it right. Would love any help you could offer.


Lived there for 4 and a half years, would love to go back, but need to learn the language better.

Mein Deutsch ist auch nicht gut. Ich lernte es durchs fernsehen. Ich kann mit den Verwandten sprechen und manchmal verstehen sie mich!

Deutsch sahaja? Ada banyak lain bahasa.

I think if anyone wants to practice their german we could arrange a Stammtisch (get-together) in hillsborough, or somewhere anyway, and we could have a bit of a German speaking evening! Would be fun. Anyone is welcome! Who's interested?
Tim

Erwähnen nicht den Krieg - das ist doch Witzig.

Here are some songs by Frau Britne Spiers:

Starker
Giftig
Schlag mich Bebe noch einmal.
Ubergeschützt.
Aaach, ich habe es wieder gemacht.
Ich bin geboren um dich froh zu machen.
Glücklich

Not bad! What about:

Ich bin kein Mädchen, noch nicht eine Frau


:D

I'm in Germany too (have been for 8 years now) so a bit far away to make it to the Stammtisch, but it's interesting to see how many forumers have a German connection. Any more out there?

Feel free to pass on any technical/grammatical questions - I can refer them to my 3 young children who are always more than happy to point out my own mistakes!

My profile says Hillsborough,I only did that because there is usually hundreds of Malaysian students in Sheffield.Maybe a multi lingual forum may be better.Although the way some people's English gets slagged off,perhaps not,who knows whether English is the first language of posters?

I speak German too, been to Bochum lots of times as well. :P

edit: I love the username sauerkraut

Phillippe mais du sel don la bol de Michelle. Mousieur Bertillion travail a Orly Airport. Will this do?

Je ne sais pas, mais je voudrais bien parler/ecrire francais comme toi. ;)

i can speak german really well but i can't write it so good! lived there for 3 years but never learnt it at school hence that's why i can't write it so good! would be great to be able to speak german again though...

Thanks for that! First thing that came into my head when I had to come up with a username. I wonder why....

Has anything come of the Hillsborough Stammtisch? I hope to be over for a visit in a week or two so might be able to call in if it's up and running by then.

Well, keeping it English so the moderators are happy - there are Germans living in Hillsborough, so the Stammtisch is in with a chance :) *And* I own a very funny (fully choreographed) German a-capella version of 'Hit me baby one more time' :) If there are still thoughts about the Stammtisch...I'm new to the forum, and not sure I've got time to organise it, but happy to join in...

Also happy to lend/give away (depending on what it is) German materials (books, magazines, films) if anybody feels like practising - send me a pm.

You guys really ought to ask Geoff for a German speakers section; I think it would be very interesting. Ich kann Deutsches sprechen wenig, aber ich benötige mehr Praxis!

Willkommen zu Sheffield Forum sparrow! :wave:

Thanks for the welcome :)

I have to admit, after nearly 11 years here (7 in Sheffield), I don't *sound* - or even feel - particularly German, but seeing as part of my work involves *being* German, I can't really say I'm not :) Even though I've taught adult ed, I had no idea there were this many interested people around. Although I am fully used to comments like:

'Oh, you're German? I've been to Germany once - we stopped at a welcome break on the A1 (M1 equivalent) - do you know it?'

:)

Ich habe letze Monat nach Bochum gereisen (und auch letze Jahr), und jetzt wünsche ich mein Deutsch aufzufrischen. November bleiben Deutsche Gäste bei uns, und es würde sehr gut sein, korrektes Deutsches mit ihnen zu sprechen.

Zählen Sie mich innen!

I've chatted to a few Americans online who have said (upon discovering my nationality) I know X person in London; do you know them? :roll:

I can kind of see how they get confused, given that a lot of Americans know very little about English life (I'll state at this point that I 'know' quite a few of our American ex-pats and visitors on this site, and this is not a reflection on them at all!) However, for someone talking to someone from anoher European country of a roughly similar size, I find that amazing! :D

I got the gist of this Dan, but must confess I struggles with some bits and resorted to Google! It translated it as

I has letze month to Bochum gereisen (and also letze year), and wishes now I my German to refurbish. November German guests remain with us, and it would be very good to speak correct German with them. Count me inside!

Hmmm. Have now lost faith in Google's translation program! :D

Hallo Dan,

Dein Deutsch ist gut (ich sag einfach 'Du' - 'Sie' ist so foermlich).

Ich bin auch schon nach Bochum gefahren, mit einer Schulklasse. Bis November ist noch viel Zeit, dein Deutsch zu verbessern - schick mir eine PM, wenn du weiter ueben moechtest :)

...what does google have to say to that?

I definately don't trust it now!:suspect:

Hello Dan, your German is good (I say simply ' you ' - ' is so formal you '). I already drove to Bochum, with a grade. Until November still much time is to improve your German - send to me a PM, if you continue to practice moechtes

*lol* Yeah, that's what I told the kids I used to teach - don't trust google (they submitted a piece of homework and were gob-smacked when I knew they hadn't done it - google had translated the Potter in Harry Potter as a job description *lol*

...sounds very Yoday, doesn't it?

...Until November still much time is to improve your German ...

:)

Hallo leute,

Es ist schoen das es hier Deutsche sprecher gibt! Ich habe seit lang kein Deutsch gesprochen. Ich bin nicht nur nach Bochum gefahren aber habe ich auch da gewohnt! Hoffentlich konnen wir gleich diesen Stammtisch organisieren.

Bis bald

Hi,

I thought this thread had faded! But it has resurfaced. If anyone fancies doing a Stammtisch, we could meet up at the forum meet this sunday and discuss maybe? Dev Cat as usual I think. Ive never been to one before but I'm sure Ill be able to find the forumers.

Failing that a pub in hillsborough sometime mid week is best for me! Any thoughts? I don't mind organising things.

Tim

Ah, OK, so...

Zählst du mich innen!

?

Und... Ich weiß nicht, ob ich kommen kann dieser Sonntag, ich versuche. Und ich muß zulassen, daß meine Übersetzung (mindestens auf dem Web ["Web", nicht "Netz", sicher?]) wenig Babelfish verdankt.

Der einzige Deutsche, den ich von der Schule erinnern an kann, ist "Wie spät ist es?", das dieser Haufen des Abfalls eine Babel Fischübersetzung ist - eine neue Sprache ist im Prozeß verursacht worden. "GermaBabel".

Wurden Sie mögen zu meinem Platz für irgendein rumpi pumpi kommen?

anyone attempting to translate using babel fish will only spout rubbish. I tried it in an essay once and showed it to a german. They laughed. Better off just writing it yourself with a dictionary!

If you want real rubbish, try the Bablizer (http://www.tashian.com/multibabel/), it is absolutely hilarious (sorry, this should probably go in "time wasters"). For example, I just entered tim_rutter's post, above, into the Babelizer and, excluding Chinese, Japanese & Korean, it came out with the following:

All such that to try, sprinkling the fish of the confusion, decree translate only applications of an excess. I controlled in a test in the past and I showed to him German. They had laughed. To improve the interior added to the right of the interior of the writing if with a predetermined rotation!

I think most (all?) online translators are rubbish. http://www.dict.cc is good for single words though, and it works either way. :)

When I do translation work, I trust http://dict.leo.org - again, for single words. It's great :)

jah baby - das is gooooooooood

In der Tat, der Link ist auch sehr gut. ;)

Did anything come of the Stammtisch idea?

I would be interested in keeping my German up.

Also: how do you get German channels on satellite TV? I've looked on Sky's website and they don't seem to offer any European channels.

Hi rfg199,

no, I don't think it did, and unfortunately, I'm moving out of Hillsborough (what appeared to be the hub of German activity) tomorrow...I'll still be in Sheffield, though, so if this does get up and running after all, I'll be around.

Sorry guys, I have less than no time at the moment! Was thinking of organising something but never got round to it. maybe when the dark nights set in and we're less tempted to go out and play in the park...

Witzig: den Post sehe ich heute zum ersten Mal. Wenn ich noch in Sheffield wäre, würde ich gerne zum Stammtisch kommen...

There were some other posters here who live in Germany. Where are you then? I'm in Düsseldorf and have been here 12 years.

Hi Guys,

wie schoen das ihr hier alle deutsch sprecht, dann brauche ich wenigstens nicht mehr mein Englisch trainieren.

Hatte irgendwer Lust Konversation auf Deutsch zu betreiben.

In return I want some conversations on english to train my english, I havent mastered it jet.

I offer german corrections insted.

Anybody up for having a Tee then and a german-english crossover conversation ??


Greetings,

Cristal

Grüß Gott alle zusammen.

Even though the SF is one of my major resource for information about Sheffield I have never seen this thread before.

I am a German native speaker, currently doing a postgraduate study here in Sheffield.

If the Stammtisch will ever happen I would also like to join, however as I am from the south of Germany (from Baden-Württemberg) I have quite a strong accent but I could try to help you keeping fit in German. (I am really surprised that so many of you have such good german knowledge)

Liebe Grüße,
Andy

Ich habe fur viere jahre in Schule es gelernt. Aber das war langseit, und ich habe alles vergessen.
If not able to continue conversing in any language, even your own it can be lost. It's not like riding a bicycle, it needs constant practise. I speak french fluently, helped by many years in Quebec, as well as France and Belgium.

SOunds like this could work out afterall. I used to go to a stammtisch whilst at sheffield uni. It works a lot better if a few native germans go. I alos used to do tandem learning - you know the score, speak for half the time in english and half the time in german. We could maybe do something along those lines.

Anyone free for an evening next week? We could meet in a pub somewhere relatively central (and reasonably quiet to allow conversation!). Any suggestions?

The Dev Cat is always good, especially as it sells Wiesbier. Admittedly not very great but will add to the german theme.

Treffen wir uns mal um einen Bierchen zu trinken!

I'd be up for an evening next week - Devonshire Cat sounds fine. I've found another couple of people who would be interested in coming along.

Andy - ich würde gern mein Schwäbisch auffrischen!

Sud Deutsch ist auch gut. Ich habe für 5 monaten in Bayern gearbeitet. Hier sagen die wenn das wetter nicht gut ist: Das Wetter heit ist net shae g?

That made me laugh. I almost had a bayerisches accent by the end of it.

Next week, lets name a time and place and see who can come:

How about wednesday 8pm Dev Cat?

Tim

Wednesday is a bad day for me - is another day better for anyone else?

Monday?

this typing is to make the post long enough

Monday is definitely a lot better for me....

Ok so type yay or nay after this post if you would like to come to and will come to a meeting of German speakers on Monday at 8 in the Devonshire Cat.

rfg199 how many people will you be able to bring?

I'll pm a few people I think.

Herr Tim

I'm pretty certain I can make Monday night

Sorry to hijack your thread, but do any of you German speakers know a good PA who speaks German, English and another western European language? I work in recruitment and we often struggle to find good linguists for our client companies.

Ask around please and PM me (in English please!!) for more details.

Ja, nächste Woche Denvonshire Cat. Super.

Ok, I've recruited two definites and two possibles (plus myself). See you all there!

I spent my first years in Germany up in the extreme north learning nice clear high German (except when people spoke Platt or Danish!). When I moved to Baden-Württemberg a few years ago it was like having to learn German all over again! And even neighbouring villages seem to have their own dialects.

But that's what language learning is all about I suppose, and the only way to learn the authentic version is by conversing with the natives - complete with accent. I soon discovered that no-one here speaks remotely like my O'level teacher did!!

Viel Spaß beim Stammtisch. Schade, dass ich nicht dabei sein kann.

Just thought I'd give this Ein Bump.

STAMMTISCH

Tomorrow (monday 21/8/05) we're meeting in the dev cat at 8 for some general german speaking antics.

Are all those above still attending?

Yes, I can still make it.

Bump!

Oops - somehow managed to log in as someone else! Last post was actually me.

OK guys, I have blond curly hair and am 5ft9, I will loiter by the door until someone finds me. Then we'll just have to sit at a table and hope anyone else finds us...

Tim

Und? Wie war's? Tut mir Leid, dass ich nicht kommen konnte - wir sind gerade umgezogen und haben noch furchtbar viel im Haus zu tun. Naechstes Mal? How many people turned up? (Continuing in true tandem fashion, half'n'half :o)

Argh, it never likes my smileys! :) is what I meant!

Hallo leute,

Es war gut gestern wieder Deutsch zu sprechen! Schade das der Devonshire Katze geschlossen war. Ich hoffe das niemand gekommen um keine Leute da zu finden ist.
Hoffentlich, treffen wir uns in 14 Tagen. Ich brauche ubung!

Beobacht diesem Diskussionsfaden!

Tim

Can anyone make Stammtisch tonight? 8 pm Devonshire Cat?

Does anyone want to meet up again for Stammtisch?

Hi, yeah sorry, been absent from the SF for a bit. If anyone fancies meeting up again, lets. i notice there are some german films on (with english subtitles - but you can ignore them) at the showroom. I'll check the dates and we could maybe go see one, then have a drink afterwards. Theres two on in october.

Anyone game?

Not sure whether/when I can make it, as things are very busy here right now, but I would definitely be interested in brushing up my German (especially as I have Germans coming to stay with me in just over a month, and I promised them my German would be better next time I see them!)

Coming soon at the showroom:


SOPHIE SCHOLL - THE FINAL DAYS (12) In German with English Subtitles
Germany 2005 Dir. Mark Rothemund 1hr 57mins

Sophie Scholl – The Final Days is the heroic and devastating true life story of German resistance icon Sophie Scholl. The film features a stunning, award-winning performance from rising German star Julia Jentsch (The Edukators, Downfall). Set in Munich 1943, as Hitler waged war across Europe, the ‘Weiße Rose’ (White Rose), Germany’s most famous resistance group dedicated their energies and passion into spreading the word on the atrocities of the Third Reich and the Nazi regime. Sophie Scholl, the only female member, would be the one to leave her mark on German history. On 18 February 1943, Scholl and her brother Hans (Fabian Hinrichs) were caught distributing leaflets at the university and arrested. Shot in chronological order, the film charts the events of the next few days as Scholl is interrogated by Gestapo officer Mohr (Gerald Alexander Held). Highly recommended.

Hi, I would be interested in the films. I've read the book "Die Weiße Rose" and it was one of the most harrowing books I've ever read. But I reckon the film would definitely be worth seeing.

The above film starts on the 28th of Oct and is on for a week. We could meet up before that if anyone would like to.

Takers?

Tim

I may be away for the half-term week, but could probably make it on Saturday 29th, Sunday 30th or perhaps Monday 31st.

I reckon monday the 31st is the best option. Weekends are generally rather busy. And we wouldn't want to clash with Forum meet!

Cool! I'll try to keep that free.

I also started German evening classes at King Edward's last week. I may invite some of the other students along.

Excellent the more the merrier. We should be able to go for a quick Weissbier post film in the showroom.

Tim

Is anyone still up for seeing this film next week? I think we said monday night. I'll investigate times. My housemate (who speaks Deutsch also) and I are going so we'll definitely be there.

I'm still up for it.

Just got the DVD of Downfall (Der Untergang) - wonderfull stuff, I also have Das Experiment, also by Oliver Hirschbiegel, director of Der Untergang, and it's also highly recommended. Perhaps one of these days I'll host a "German film night" around here (I also have all of the Herzog/Kinski movies, and a few others, plus a projector and a big screen :))

German film night sounds good. I watched The Edukators the other day - pretty good too.

The film is on pretty late: 8:40 so won't finish till quite late. Should we meet at eight and get a drink beforehand?

Sounds good. A friend of mine is playing a gig at the Forum at around 11pm that night, so if anyone fancies carrying on later...

I would be interested count me in and please pm my inbox, i have a vast knowledge of the way of life over there and love their pop music.

Anyone got cd's of Alphaville,Nena,Kraftwerk,PROPAGANDA,Modern talking,yello,udo lindenburg,?

Just wondered if the "stammtisch" still existed. We're coming over to Sheffield next week and wondered if anyone was interested in meeting up. We have kids so if you also have kids and you want them to meet up with other German speaking kids let us know.

I am fluent in german and don't get much practice in using the language so that is a great pity, luckily my sister in law is swiss so we have a natter now and again in swiss german.
pm if any one is interested in chatting or writing in german.
I would deffinitely be interested in joining an ex pats german club too as i had previously with some german friends a decade or more a go.

I'm really interested in chatting in German and also seeing German films at the Showroom. Anyone else out there still interested?

I can't contact anyone who posted on this subject before as I don't have enough points!! Urrrgh.

sarbo

I just got back from Switzerland, where the Schweizerdeutsch was all but incomprehensible but I still got good mileage out of my smattering of regular German. Am definitely up for film nights, German chats, whatever - mail me (dan at sumption dot org) if you can't PM me.

Hi,
I'm from Germany (21 years old) and I'm interested in tandem learning.

Is there someone who wants to practise German?

The idea is to meet and to spent half of the time speaking German and half of the time speaking English.

Hi there,

I'm from Germany as well and I'd like to meet up with some people in my age group for partying, travelling, learning english. By the way, I'm male, 23 and come from Berlin ;-)

Who invented this rule that you can't write a private message unless you wrote 10 comments? I'd like to get in touch with the author of the previous post.

Ich würde auch gerne mal ein paar Deutsche hier treffen!?
(Translation: I'd like to meet germans as well)
