Wow it is so quiet here!

Beitrag von Asphodel »

Hello all! It seems so quiet in this corner. Are there any other English speaking mamas around? We live in Germany and I start to slowly learn the language, but I am too far away yet and cannot really participate in the other discussions, I can only read them (with a dictionary :oops: )

So anybody who would keep me company in here? :)

Yes, actually I have (5 years and counting)... Pretty silly of me not to find the time to learn German, isn't it? :oops: But working 50-60 hours a week (in English speaking environment) doesn't leave much time for other things really. Now I am making an effort but it is not the easiest language to learn!

Oh, I know precisely what that's like. Well, my husband does, rather. ;) He came here in 2005 and he's still taking classes off and on to try and get a grasp of this wicked language. He also works in an English speaking environment and works incredibly long hours - doesn't leave much room (or energy) to deal with that. He's taking a course again just now (through work). I think it's soooo cute when he speaks German, though. ;) We only speak English to each other (and Soph), too, so I suppose that doesn't help much, either. Whereabouts in Germany are you located?

Hiya to all of you :)

I am a German in England and my husband still does not speak a lot of German. He is slowly learning and understanding more thanks to our son who is trying to teach him :D though my dh will not speak (at least not in front of me).

I am originally from Berlin.
