Beginning German

[kneeshooter]

I just booked on a Beginning German Course starting next week and got asked if I was a guitarist...

Not sure what that has to do with learning how to say and understand key phrases like:

"Bend zee knees"
"Faster!"
"Lean forward"
"Not like that"

and of course...

"Eine Flasche Gluhwein"

Zwei Cheesburger bitte got me through my German exchange visit when I was 16. They all speak English, you know. Just wear a badge.

Rule of thumb, imparted to me by my A-level teacher:

If your throat's not sore after half an hour, you're not pronouncing it correctly.

I did German A level and one of my best friends is German... but I can't really speak or remember much of it now! Well, I can understand some words, say a few super stupid dumb sentences, but that's all. Schnell is faster isn't it? Or something like that.

Schnell, schnell, hande hoch! Achtung!

I know how to ask for a beer, tell someone I like their leather trousers and then say, get 'em off. I guess that could be handy...

I just got done looking at your concert pictures and they're AWESOME. I'm also quite jealous that you've gotten to see A23 and Skinny Puppy live. :P
