sorry for my worse english (last time i used it, i was at school)

Welcome, Thomas!

Welcome.

Grüß Gott!

If my German were one-tenth as good as your English, I'd be pleased.

Cheers,

Roger

Welcome from Florida.

Sehr herzlich Willkommen und Gruss aus Indiana!

Wilkommen Sie bei AUPG, Thomas! I agree with Roger -- I only wish my German were 1/10th as good as your English!

You're lucky to live in one of the world's all-time great cities full of artistic inspiration from its streets to its museums. Not to mention Salzburg and a hundred other towns and cities.

You'll love APUG -- great bunch of people, always happy to share their experience and knowledge, and ready to encourage your efforts. We know you'll have a lot to share with us, so we look forward to reading your contributions in the fora. :)

Hello from the Isle of Wight, England.

If the last time you used English was at school then you're doing well.

The only German I can remember from school is 'Wo ist die katze? -
die katze ist auf dem tisch'

Which isn't all that useful!

I even had to re-learn French four years ago just before a trip as I had forgotten half of what I learned at school.

Steve.

Welcome from NYC - where I work for a German bank but do not speak a word of it! :(

Hi Thomas, welcome from Hawaii. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you, and hopefully some photographs as well.

Guten abend mein herr-ich leibe die Deutsche richtung der stimmung:) Zwei D76, bitte-wo ist der dunkelkammer?

The only German I can remember from school is 'Wo ist die katze? -

Dear Steve,

Depends. A friend of mine, posted to Japan, was much puzzled by 'There is a strange green insect on the book-case' (sorry, completely forgotten the Japanese). He was amazed when he got to Japan to find that there are many strange green insects that do, in fact, head straight for the book-case.'

And in my Tibetan primer, one of the early vocabularies memorably gives the Tibetan for 'baby sister', 'garden shed' and 'welding'.

Cheers,

Roger
