Can I get an upgrade if I’ll toss in a “Grüß Gott”? (My work keyboard DOES support international characters, as you can see :)) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by universe.zip \*\*\* > OMG, it just feels so weird posting on the SDMB in German… I mean, I use this language a lot on the net, but here it feels positively awkward. \*\* I’ll second that notion. When I read my posts in German they sound really clumsy sometimes. Maybe my brain just switches to SDMB English when I am here (I spend so much time worrying about my grammar and spelling that it’s hard switching that off even when I post in German). Good thing this thread isn’t in the Pit. There’s just something fundamentally wrong about “geißfelchen” 😃 On preview… **Coldfire** , Dutch people and mountains…there’s a saying about them, I bet 🙂 In no way do I intend to debase the skiing prowess of a whole nation, I’ve just been run over one too many times by screaming Dutch ladies. Which couldn’t have been Coldfire. Off the hook. **Angua** : “Stockbesoffen” hat auch mich hochbeeindruckt ---

Oh, and “Grüß Gott” should be used with caution. Anywhere north of the Danube it’ll get you laughs, looks and the answer “Wenn ich ihn sehe.” (Been there, done that) Hier in München kann man es natürlich jederzeit und gerne verwenden. Auch ein herzhaftes “Servus!” wird immer gern gehört. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Einmon \* > **Oh, and “Grüß Gott” should be used with caution.** True. But I do believe it was directed at me, so it counts 😉 Cultural differences (especially within the same language area) - we´re getting into deep water here… ---

I, too, cringe at the lack of skiing skills most Dutchmen display. Luckily, I’m not one of them. But be honest: aren’t we awfully polite and friendly, as we run you over? 🙂 ---

Well, the Austrian quiz is much different. Rödeln Zwetschken Schifoaaaaan, woas? Universe, Wien hat mir ziemlich gut gefallen, aber. . . er sein. . es ist schwer zu verklaren. Ich verstehe warum Freud und Psychoanalyse haben in Wien entwickelt. Schoene Stadt, verruckte Leute. Stimmt das? Ich habe Kunstgeschichte uzw gestudiert, und dafür war es ausgezeichnet. ---

Heh. Exactly. (hangs head in shame) IMAGINE MY LIFE! I was in Munich this summer and I kept trying to, you know, speak to people, and they would look at me totally confused, since they kinda could understand what I was saying but had no idea where the hell I was from. South Africa, probably. ---

yo, **capybara** , you have understood Vienna. Wien ist großartig und die Leute spinnen alle völlig. Freud - wo sonst, wenn nicht hier? Ich denke, für ein Kunstgeschichte-Studium ist das nicht so schlecht 😉 It´s rodeln, though - but hey, you picked up some nice austriacisms! We´d have to start another thread on that, though… 😉 **Coldfire** , as I have never been run over by a Dutchman or a skier of any other nationality, I won´t dispute your skiing skills, which are no doubt higher than mine (i.e. nil). I´ve run into enough drunk Dutch people in Tyrol, though… and in the Netherlands. No comparison. I must say, the mountains do something for you folks. 😃 ---

Diese Unterhaltung wäre leichter sein, wenn sie wirklich eine Unterhaltung wäre. Ich wünsche, dass ich hier mein Deutsch üben könnte, aber ich habe eigentlich keine Ahnung worüber ich sprechen soll. Weil ich nicht viel mit den englischen Threads mache, ist es besonders schwer für mich etwas hier zu schreiben. Vielleicht soll ich einfach hier aufhören, sodaß jemand mir sagen könnte, welche Fehler ich geschrieben habe. ---
