I red a bissl Boarisch denn i bi i Minga dahoam. Heit woan zamma auder Oide Wiesn un boah zefix woahs hoas.

Ich rede ein bisschen Bairisch denn ich wohne in München. Heute waren wir zusammen auf der Alte Wiese am Oktoberfest und meine Güte war es heiß.

I speak a little Bavarian because I live in Munich. Today we were at the Oktoberfest on the Old Meadow and my, it was hot.

Dein Deutsch ist doch sehr gut Xue, selbst wenn du zur Zeit nicht oft redest. Ich glaube du würdest hier überleben. :D

Danke, aber mein Deutsch ist schrecklich, verbringe ich Zeit damit, sich zu erinnern und suchen Dinge und manchmal den Rückgriff auf die gefürchtete Google Translate. (actually I had to use the dreaded Google translate to get the German for "dreaded Google translate" :D)

Dieses kleine Aussage hat mich 10 Minuten.

Deutsch Verben Chaos mit meinem Kopf

Es gibt Leute, die hier leben und wohnen, die nicht so gut reden können, wie du.

Danke, aber ich brauche eine ernsthafte Auffrischungs

OK for purposes of expedients I am switching back to English, do this in German and I will be here all day. My wife has said that we should consider a trip to Germany in the next couple years and if that happens it is up to me to be the translator so I need a WHOLE lot of work. Conversational speed will leave standing there like a deer in the headlights and in conversation I have serious trouble with all the verb tenses. Would hate to use du when I should be using Sie and I tend to go for the easiest and that would be du :anic: But then I am not sure how important that is in Germany these days, per my teacher, from many years ago who lived in Germany before, during and a bit after WW II it s very important, but then he is one of the older generation so I am not sure how up to date that is

But I also have had thrown on my plate, (my wife has said) if my mother-in-law moves out of our house. I need to get my Mandarin up to conversational speed because she (my wife) has said she will not be my translator the next time we go to China. But with her, conversational also means literate so basically I'm toast :D

In Germany they have a special word that only gets used at this time of year: Bierleichen. Beer corpses.

I live really close, so for me, Oktoberfest mostly means Aussie tourists peeing in my bushes.

Here are some pictures of what's behind the scenes:
