We’ve had two German lessons to date with Hans. I think we end up discussing English and French as much as German. Today Hans brought us some German chocolate mit Haselnüsse. To date, the German expressions I know (that is, I have written down in my notebook) include:
The days of the week (Montag- Sonntag)Ich heibe Lauren (my name is Lauren)Mir ist heib. (I’m hot)Mir ist kalt. (I’m cold)Ich brauche Hilfe! (I need help!)Entshuldigung, ich suche die Toilette. (Excuse me, I’m looking for the bathroom) Ich gehe nach hause. (I think that’s right…) (I’m going home.)
I keep forgetting Hans isn’t American…at least until he starts talking about world issues. His accent is perfect. He sounds like an American imitating a British or a Scottish accent when he tries to put them on. He even says things like “Fo shizzle, bizzle.” I’m so jealous.
