Ich bin sehr (ganz?) happy (froh?) zum sprechen Deutsch mit ihr und typing es auch.
That being said, I just have to put this part in English so you will know a bit about me and then from here on in I will always type in German as best I can as I learn, unless someone requests English from me. I also just tried to use the 'embarrassment face' but it didn't work...
I actually come from German parents who over the long years spoke more and more English only. I seem to have picked up the familiar way to speak to people and also dialect-type words. I'm at the point in my life where I'm starving to speak German properly and so am doing my own lessons on the train to work and also listening to a cd every morning and afternoon in my car. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks.
I can read and understand much more then I can write or speak back and this is what I'm trying to correct. I also would like to use more professional words, not just words like 'Vater braucht die Zeitung.'
I will be thrilled to communicate with all and am so excited there is such a web site!
