Yes that might be the case I guess it would be a start but as I am trying to get my head round the german justice system. Then I am moving onto seeing if I can get some liason with the recovery firm who only seem to speak german. I was thinking of asking a few questions of someone who lived there. Small steps mate at the moment..You would have been better maybe asking if anyone is fluent in german
As he is that new I really dont want to scare him off....if he spots this then fine but thanks for the heads up.Samuel Waldron has just joined this week from Germany.
I know a few native German speakers - a couple based here in Edinburgh and one in Berlin.As he is that new I really dont want to scare him off....if he spots this then fine but thanks for the heads up.
To be fair, I've dealt with the German police on a work matter a few years back - all over the phone, including officers who were standing in our Munich office at the time, and they all spoke perfect English.I have found that when YOU need something they only speak german, but when THEY want something they suddenly speak english well maybe they learn it from a boook!
Thanks mate. I dont know what is going on today. I saw my lad for the first time today since the accident and he seems fairly up beat, but I feel absolutely lousy and really depressed. I just dont have a clue why. So any offers of help to translate are grateful....I know a few native German speakers - a couple based here in Edinburgh and one in Berlin.
Let me know if you need anything translated.
I have that as a back up mate. Its the lack of speed when I know bills are mounting up I am finding it hard to cope with. But I cant really expect much more at a weekend to be honest.Write down what you want to know and use an online translator, send both English and translated version via email to recovery company
Willy Brandt once said something along the lines of “If I want to sell something to you then I must speak English, and if you want to sell something to me dann müssen Sie Deutsch sprechen.”I have found that when YOU need something they only speak german, but when THEY want something they suddenly speak english .....
Any german welders on here chaps??
I am looking for a bit of help?

I know mate....bur I have had some really weird feelings and moods today. Feeling sorry for everyone...and anyone. Quite literally wondering what the meaning of life is. Trying to work out how some politicians sleep at night. Watched leicester win without a flicker of emotion. Wondering why watching 22 grown men kicking a ball around keeps so much money tied up with so few people.....etc etc etcthe thing is you cant go any faster then they will allow, so best to try not to stress over it, it wont do you any good

Spooky I know......
I hate our laziness at not speaking other languages, and can only see it getting worse,because the fact we probably have more people with different languages in this country than any other !!? which do you need to learn ?even though it is highly inconvenient for those who only speak English.
so there are less words to learn
