What about English? Einstellungen

[Amelia]

Yes, I do! Rainy days are baking days. :)


What's your favorite musical?

[Simonetta]

I must admit that I'm not really into musicals at all...

So did you bake anything good today?

[Simonetta]

Come on, girls, tell us about your baking adventures... :D

[Simonetta]

Ok - if this is a difficult topic, fine. :lol: Then why don't you just ask a new question? Please. Come on. :D

[Aderyn]

Just stumbled over this thread... I probably risk sounding presumptuous, but have been active on English boards and in English forums only over the last years and still find it a bit strange to suddenly post in German again, because the mere act of posting has been connected to that language in my mind. :help:

To bring something of the previous discussions up again: I usually read books in English if the original has been written in English, and prefer watching English films in the original: most of the dubbed voices are just horrible. Since I have some problems with thick American or Australian accents, I need to watch these with subtitles, though, preferrably English subtitles. "Little Fish", for example, has been one long piece of guess work in English, didn't get a bit. Unfortunately, the German DVD doesn't offer subtitles, so I had to watch the dubbed version to understand the dialogue, and then get back to the original language.

But, back to topic: No, I did not bake anything today. Not much of a baker here; the last time was before Christmas, lemon-flavoured biscuits.

New question: what's your favourite film? (Very original, I know...)

[Liane]

I baked an nice plum-cake yesterday. :essen: It was not really an adventure... B)

Oh, we have a new question (I am a new in here)...

My favorite film? Oh there are some... I saw a new one some months ago which I really liked (and therfore I have watched several times already) - "Love actually". I really like Hugh Grant in his role that is similar to all the others he plays (or perhaps he plays himself and therefore gets that kind only), I love the cute two in Marseilles - and the little boy :wub:
Allthough Alan Rickman is not Severus Snape, he gives the feeling of Okklumentik B)

And I really like Emma Thompson :)

Do I have to invent a new question or do others answer the same as well?

[Candela]

just asking myself how it's possible that I've been posting on this board for five months now and never came across this thread :was:

My favourite movie is "Shadowlands". No other movie even gets close to that one. (Does anybody else know it?) I've seen it in both English and German but I have to admit that I needed to see the German version first. I'm not sure why but I find it hard to understand, even though I watch programs in English on a regular basis and rarely have trouble with it.
For my part I can say that I have more of a hard time with British English than with American English, but tha's probably just a question of what your used to.

So do we start a "truth without dare"- like thing here? In that case, I'll just ask a new question. But if you'd rather stick to the movie question, just ignore the new one.

Hmm... did you ever stay in an English speaking country for an extended period of time? If so, where did you stay? And did you like it?

Hey... cool, guys... You've finally copped on! :lol:

Yeah, I'd say we play "truth without dare".

I lived in Limerick for a year way back in the 90s... and I loved Ireland. Also, I spent, like, two weeks in a small town in South Dakota in 2000, and although two weeks doesn't sound like a long time at all, I felt so at ease and at home there that, thinking back, it feels like I really lived there for a while. :rolleyes:

What made you smile today?

A little baby-boy who smiled at me when I was walking by.

What are you looking forward to?

[Candela]

finally starting to gather data for my diploma thesis


Where do you picture yourself 10 years from now?

[Simonetta]

OMG - I'm past the age of thinking ten years ahead! :lol:

What about you?

[Candela]

@simonetta: oh puh-leeeze, come on... :D

I hope for a job in a private research institute, a partner at my side and maybe two or three kids running around. Add two cats, a dog and a horse and most of my dreams have come true. :)


When was the last time you needed to be brave?

[regenbogen]

[laterra]

Yesterday I think... Misinterpreting written words can be rather painful :patsch:

What´s worse: physical pain or emotional pain?

edit: fucking orthography

Emotional pain cause it's almost impossible to soothe it.


What would you do if a stranger offered you $10 mio for a night with your g/f ?

[Simonetta]

Beat the hell out of them. :lol:

What would you do if a stranger offered you $10 mio for a night with yourself?

[advocati]

i would take the money and suffer with a partial anamnesis...

afterwards i would make a great invitation to lesbenforen to spent a real great night at a very beautiful place.... :D

[Simonetta]

New question: What was your major achievement today? :D

[Aderyn]

My major achievement today will be the cleaning my flat. The only achievement so far was getting up instead of lying in. :P

What piece of clothing wouldn't you be caught dead in?
