2008/01/14 - Begrüssungen

Paul send me a sentence he found usefull when he was in Germany:

"I travelled to Germany twice in 2007. I’m at the stage where I can sometimes understand, but I don’t really speak at all. I found this little phrase was good to use when people spoke to me and in German and I could understand a little, “Ich lerne Deutsch, aber ich spreche nicht sehr gut“.

People were impressed and usually responded with “Doch!” Then when I continued I think they came to realise how badly I speak. Nevertheless it was a good ice breaker and indicated that at least I was trying to learn the language.

"
Thanks Paul!
