Mein Deutsch lebt!

[gothikmaus]

This morning at work the girl sitting next to me was checking a phone number and I could hear what the operator was saying too 'cos she was using a speaker. The authomatic operator was speaking in German, because this girl was calling a bank in Bolzano (Bozen), which is an Italian city, but in an area where the main language is German. Well, the operator said that the bank had a new phone number and then proceeded to announce it in German. I saw a look of sheer panic on my colleague's face, so I translated the number for her in real time. I'm pretty happy about that, 'cos it means my German is still alive. Awfully rusty, yes, but alive nonetheless. I may even be able to speak decently when I'm Berlin in August...

Ich sollte auf Deutsch lesen/schreiben/sprechen, aber ich bin so faul... =P

Oh, and the mechanic only wanted 10 euros, because the tyre was neither slashed nor pierced, it was simply missing the valve. All's well that ends well, isn't it? ^_^

Yay! Ich bin froh, dass dein Deutsch ist noch gut. Man soll nicht immer Deutsch sprechen/schreiben/lesen, aber manchmal ist sehr gut.

>< My German's a bit rusty, but I hope you can make sense of that. :)

Sì, vado a trovare un amico che si è trasferito là per amore (cose che pensavo succedessero solo nei film =P) Avrei dovuto andare già l'anno scorso, ma la scorsa estate l'ho passata sudando davanti al computer per scrivere la tesi. >_< Anzi, diciamo pure che questo è il mio viaggio-regalo di laurea, un po' in ritardo, ma meglio tardi che mai, no? ^_^'
