Heutes Mittagessen habe ich ein Omelett mit Salami für meinen Mitbewohnern gekocht. Wir waren sehr müde, weil wir auf den Markt gegangen sind. Also wollte ich ein Mittagessen kochen, das wirklich einfach war. Ich habe acht Eier benutzen, dann mischte ich es mit Gewürze, Milch und Mozzarella Käse. Ich weiß, dass für die Deutschen Eier und Käse ist ein komische Kombination sind. Aber es ist funktioniert. 😁 Gestern Abend ich habe das auch (obwohl ohne Salami) für meiner zwei deutscher Freunde gekocht. Sie haben "Das schmeckt gut." gesagt.

Etwas oder Über? Und Lektion oder Unterricht?

Deutsch ist schwierige aber ich geneße es. I joined a crash course German class and I'm documenting it in a blog after every class. Now, I'm trying to write my first post in Deutsch, just a very simple one, but I'm having a bit of a hard time which word to use for the following:

About
Etwas oder Über?

Lesson
Lektion oder Unterricht?


My sentence is this: Unsere Deutsch Lehrehrin ist sehr freundlich. Aber unsere Lektion ist mehr ... [I'm not sure about the second one because that's where I'm having difficulty in. I'm meaning to say: "But our lesson for today is about numbers and it is more difficult than I have expected."] Can anyone help me out with this? :) It's only my third day in Deutsch class, I'm quite enjoying it.

Harry Potter Character Names: Any fan of Harry Potter around here?

I'm leaving this right here for two reasons:
1. For the fun of it.
3. To survey if there are humans who still fancy HP film series.

 

So to get the discussion going, I'd like to ask: Do you know any Harry Potter character who's name sounds quite funny (or odd if you prefer) in other language/s?

Example: I found out from my Ukrainian friend that in Russian, "Harry Potter" is somehow pronounced as "G[H]arry Patter". *Add in that Russian accent.* 

"Runterzieht" and "Runterzehen" on Google returns zero reliable results.

So I read this one quote saying, "Kämpfe um das, was dich weiter bringt. Akzeptiere das, was du nicht ändern kannst. Und trenne dich von dem, was dich runterzieht."

 

I brought it to Google Translate and I quite understood what the quote meant except for the word "runterzieht". I tried to find its meaning but Google result returns a list of sites that doesn't give a meaning of it. Does anyone here know its meaning?

 

I tried to search further and all I found is the break down of it to "runter" and "zieht", respectively "down" and "draws". The results also suggests "runterziehen" but does not give its meaning. I also notice on Deutsch, there is kind of like joining of words like "Webdesignerin" as in "Web Designer". Or something like that. Does anyone have any thought on this?

German Movies

Can anyone suggest a good German film/s with English subtitles? I'd like to immerse myself more to hearing the language and maybe copy how words are spoken just to have more feel of it like how I did when practicing my English. Vielen dank!

What is the best way to learn Deutsch?

I'm wondering, what is the best way to learn Deutsch? I mean, I tried YouTube videos (Get Germanized), I also tried subscribing to newsletters from websites that offer "free" resources. But none does the trick yet. Has anyone found a routine or a step-by-step course in learning a language without the formal classroom teaching?

I can't sleep so I'm going to try writing something in Deutsch. Dear stranger who speaks Deutsch, If you have a correction, or loads of corrections, they are all welcome. I've written this to introduce myself in fluenti3months.com as I tried learning German through it: Hallo, ich heiße Buena. Ich bin eine Filipino und eine Webdesigner. Ich möchte Bergtour. Es freut mich. Sie kennen zu lernen. Auf Wiedersehen.
