I actually read many books in English, for example The Host, Twilght (how obvious, look at my signature xD), Breaking Dawn or Tom Saywer *blush* That was boring.
I had hardly problems with understandig it.

Hi guys!
I just thought I could write something in here, too, because at the moment I'm a little bit bored... My English may not be the best one, I don't know, but at least people are able to understand me if I talk English. Only my English teacher doesn't, but she is stupid anyway. She's also my German teacher but can't even write the German word "unsympathisch". That's really strange, I think.
Well, I think, English is not a very beautiful language, but it is a good thing to be able to talk and understand English because you can talk to many people this way. And soemtimes I like talking English - it is often quite funny, I think. But usually I like other languages better, for example Latin. Yeah, you're gonna call me strange, I know, but I love Latin.
I have already read some English books - the Harry Potter books. And some other ones, but those were only translated from German into English. For example "Move to cloud 9" - in German it's called "Umzug nach Wolke 7" (it's from "Freche Mädchen - freche Bücher", maybe you know it), but I didn't like that one very much.
Have you already been to English speaking countries? And how was it? Did you understand the people around you - and did they understand what you were trying to say? I'm quite interested in that - how do you say "neugierig" in English?^^

"Neugierig" means curious (of/about sth.) in English

I had to learn it for my English Test

Huh, nice.
I was in Canada for a month this year, and just adored it <3. Such a beautiful country. But I'm sorry I wasn't there in fall yet. Must be wonderfull, everything bright and red and yellow. Especially that some of them there spoke French was nice - no chance to understand it, though, as it's that much different than european French. But still, a nice language.
I've also been in the USA some years ago, in Pitsburgh. Oh, and in Florida, in Miami and Orlando. Not my thing, just to to hot. But I should show you some pictures of the snowy white sand. It's amazing. I really had no problems with the language - everybody understood me, or pretended to understand xDDD And I understood everything, too, and when I didn't, I asked :) I'm proud, though, I didn't have to ask that much.
They also said I've quite a nice accent. I was lucky about that.

That's what they are keep telling me. But I don't think my accent is nice.

I'm always wondering if they really mean this but on the other hand (do you say it like this in English?

) - why should they say it to me? They could just say nothing about that. xD
@Schniefelus Snape: "Naja" means also "anyway" as well. You know, like: "So, anyway, what do you do on saturday blahblahblah..."
I read so many English books... *think* I read all Harry Potter, and the 7th I read first in English and then in German. The Twilight books (of course

...
the fourth book is really awesome!!! ;) ) Hmmm... The Alibi Man. (I don't know, it's a bit boring. xD) Hm, there are a lot more but I can't remember them all.

Yes, it's
on the one hand..., but on the other hand...

Errr, wrong.
Anyway means something like
'jedenfalls, immerhin, irgendwie...'
btw, you wrote two times 'auch' (also, as well)

Yeah but everybody uses it like "naja".

Really? Hum, I never heard it that way.
But I guess you might be right
