 Talk with Mark! / new members on the blockPlease introduce yourself here, a few sentences concerning the word "English". | | | | | Mark | 06.01.09, 18:16, Beiträge: 107 | |  |  |  | Interesting life, dear Schmatz!
I really admire you. I can´t cope on my own. I only have two cats and I often don`t know what to do with myself:-)))
I admire people with children, with hubbies at home.
But it will change soon: I went to a fortune-teller last year and she didn`t predict an early pregnancy because of a broken condom. She didn`t predict my lottery jackpot. And my mother won`t die in a flying accident.
She predicted luck, great love, happiness, success and money.
Do you believe in such predictions?
Zitat:
Original geschrieben von Schmatz
Well, if hubbie has been a good boy, he gets the subtitles in German. I have to say his English has improved a lot since I met him. Visits to and from Irish, Scottish and Northern Irish friends help as well. Even though their English is hardly Oxford style.
An evening at our home?
I get home from work, throw my coat over the pram, drop my bags and belongings all over the place and raise the pitch of my voice to a level usually only heard by dogs.
Having finished greeting my ten month old son we have a bite to eat and a wee chat.
Then it's usually time for the little one to go to bed which can be quite an ordeal. Sometimes I take a bath with him before his bedtime. He loves it!
It usually ends with either of us carrying him about the place, singing songs and bribing him with juice. Bad parents, I know. We are working on him falling asleep in his own bed. So hard! There is this beautiful darling crying his eyes out because you force him to lie in his bed on his own. Guilt trips galore!
Once he has settled, I pay invoices, check emails, tidy a bit, do laundry, watch DVDs (which are all fabulous, so no torture really) and recently we race each other with Mario Kart on the Nintendo Wii.
Yes, I admit to being a boring old fart.
We haven't found a babysitter yet, so evenings out are not much on the cards.

it is a kiss, isn`t it?
In my opinion, dear Schmatz, your problem is not that all those people don`t correct you.
The thing is - "forcing" your hubbie to watch all those films:-)))
Poor hubbie! He has to watch the films without understanding a word:-)))
So - what does it look like? An evening at your home?Zitat:

Hi!
This is Schmatz from Hamburg.
I guess Mark will have some problems pronouncing Schmatz if he isn't German himself, but the real name isn't much easier either if that helps...
I'm happy I found this website. It was a bit of a coincidence, as I had just surved the sekretaria one.
I spent over six years in Northern Ireland so would be glad to continue this English lark. Just reading English novels and forcing my husband to watch DVDs in English doesn't seem to be enough not to get rusty.
Please please please do correct me whenever I get something wrong. My colleagues are all far too polite to do so.
Or maybe I frighten them.... Either way.
Is this enough for a first introduction?
Best wishes and a good start to the New Year!
Schmatz

welcome to the community. What a wonderful experience spending 6 years in Northern Ireland. I have never been there, did you work, too? Maybe you like to talk a little bit about this time?
Well that is the problem everybody is far to polite, nobody corrects my english, so I just can assume what I do wrong. But maybe it would destroy my self-confidence ;-))
