23. Chaos Communication Congress

Ich habe Flugscheine nach Berlin gekauft. Ich bin dort von Dez 25 bis Dez 31, für das 23CCC. Ich muß Deutsch, mehr üben.

Wer sonst geht?

I have purchased airplane tickets to Berlin. I will be there from Dec 25 to Dec 31, for the 23CCC. I need to practice German, some more.

Who else is going?

"I am ???, I speak very good German."

*is guessing because German is one of the very few languages I haven't studied... yet...*

Are there verb forms in German? For instance, should spreche translate as "speak", or as "I speak"?

"I am a foreigner [lit "out-lander"], I do not speak good German." Which is probably true because although I can understand what was meant, the sentence doesn't look right to me (like the words might be in the wrong order or misspelled or something). But as I don't speak German either, I can't provide the corrections.

Ja, das is richtig.

Nicht is the negative? Ja is yes? (Hey, if you're gonna speak in German on your journal, I'm gonna take advantage of it to learn!)

Ich willst zum Deutschland gehen. Aber, ich hab nicht genug geld.

Und ich hab nicht Deutsch ins neun Jahren gesprochen.


(And I'm semi-confident I've totally mangled the grammar)

Any chance you could swing out this way before you head out?

I probably can. I left some extra time before and after CCC, to visit people, places, and things. How far are you from Berlin? (Easiest transport by train I presume?)

Re: Sweden...

From Berlin? I'm practically in Copenhagen, Denmark. If you can get to Copenhagen, you can get to where I live.

Easiest transport would be a flight to Kastrup in Copenhagen. Trains are also doable. Meeting you at such a place would be trivial for me.

My cell phone number is +46 (0)708 54 31 39 if you would like to reach me via phone.
