Hello,

I hope you enjoyed your trip to Erfurt and Dresden.

I visited Erfurt a few years ago for a second time. I liked the "Krämer Brücke" most. There are so many charming little shops. We bought there some small kitchen tools for my husband who is left-handed.

In Dresden there I had lived and worked for many years but often I had to travel from there to Leipzig and Chemnitz, too and I moved to Chemnitz for my last working years.



I wish you a good day.
Love reader

Hello dear Skys

  ​​​​​​We have fiends in Erfurt who manages to show us the nice parts of the town.
Dresden is of course historical interesting. We have just started to travel in our big neighbour county.
At the moment we just need to have more days and weeks in our life.. smile.
 
 
Here your remark...................
Regarding your German language I thought you've perhaps already stayed a longer time in Germany.
 
Of course...yes I stayed in Switzerland since the year 1978
Here I speak English with my family and most of the friends. Of course I speak proper German as well,
But Germany I do not know well at all. In comparison with Switzerland, it is a big country.
Have you been to Swiotzerland?

Greetings to you.
Yes we had a lovely time in Erfurt. I do love that city very much. Of course the Krämer Brücke!  We walked up and down and sat in Restaurants to enjoy the atmosphere.
Dresden was great as well. I remember Dresden of about 30 years ago.
Now it is absolutely interesting.
Just this.. 30 years ago I made a City  tour. They had little to show us then.
Die Frauenkirche was totally ruined still. One could see that there was a great lack of money to rebuild.
Take care
love Yoli

Hello, ich sehe , dass dieses Thema sehr alt ist, aber ich bin English Native speaker und stamme aus Grafschaft Cornwall in Südwest England.

Wenn man Lust hat können wir in English correspondieren.  Ich werde "Hoch Englsih" schreiben und nicht in die cornische Dialekt ;-) Versprochen.

Grüße

Cornwall?  I'd guess, it is Welsh language, but I am not sure.
I have a record from Wales - a very old one - with fine choir music and the words sound a bit - I imagine - like this text.As a member of the IFL (Int. National friendship League) I joined a group of Welsh boys and girls, who organized rambles around Devonshire and Gloucestershire. After the rambles we used to have a snack and a drink singing songs of friendship in a pub. I'll never forget this friendly athmosphere with young people from all over Europe!

HELLO,


Cornish is basically its own language but does have some simularities with Welsh. But Welsh is  Celt language as is Cornish.
I was born in Perranporth, Cornwall and lived there for some years before leaving to studing in London and then on to Germany to work in the Computer Software.

I ,too, was a member and committee member of the IFL in Chelmsford in the early 1970.

All the best

Greetings Bonzadog
 You are welcome....yes we try here to keep the conversation going. Great to have someone to help!
I think a lot of us know Cornwall. I do as well as we have made holidays there with the kids.
I lived in the New Forest area for many years. Now I live in Switzerland.
Smile.. Yes please do not write in the Cornish dialect.
We would not understand a word.
 
You informed us that you were by the IFL
The question is Football or Food. I think Football…yes?  
 
 International Food Limited     
International Football League
 
Take care
love Yoli

English is easy,” is the common belief. Don’t ever believe it, dear friends . . .
 
 1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
 
 2) The farm was used to produce produce.
 
 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
 
 4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
 
 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
 
 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
 
 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present
 
 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
 
 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
 
 10) I did not object to the object.
 
 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
 
 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row
 
 13) They were too close to the door to close it.
 
 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
 
 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
 
 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
 
 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail
 
 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
 
 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
 
 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
 
 Once we explore the paradoxes of the English language, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
 
 There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
 
 Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
 
 Let's face it – English is a crazy language.

 Just a few words
It seems that nobody wants to communicate in English.
Well, there is so much else to do. As this is my native language I do have of course enough possibilities to use the language. 
I do understand and wish all who were partaking here...ALL THE BEST

Greetings Yoli
