I'm looking for German news articles, because I REALLY need to practise reading and speaking some real-world Deutsch.

lol, i know how that feels. often.

i actually saw it before you just pointed it out

i can say somethings fluently
like:
"Du bist ein verzeug!"
"Ich brauche das scheissen nicht!"
"Woher kommst du?"
"Was ist los!?"
&
"Das ist nicht so gut"​

 

[Fierlin1182]

Great phrases.

I can say a fair bit more than that, but right now I can't remember any for the life of me. I have a sinking feeling it'll be the same when I get over there.

OK, I found an article about the Euro debt crisis, which should be good enough for holding my attention. Let's begin.

Die Europäische Zentralbank stützt das angeschlagene Bankwesen mit einem Geldsegen von fast 500 Milliarden Euro. Die Kredite wurden erstmalig auf drei Jahre festgeschrieben. Damit profitieren die Banken von nur einem Prozent Zinsen jährlich.


...Whaaa?!?!

The Central Bank does something to the banks with a money something of nearly 500 bil euro. The credit will something three years something written?! So that profits of the banks are only one percent interest per year.


That made NO sense.

Yeah Woo is better because WW sounds like 'World War'.

Which is basically what I can be.

Oh, I'm worse than that. I am capable of starting intergalactic armageddons.

(... Please don't take offence if you're religious, that was a quote from a movie. Which movie, I can't remember...

)​

Aw, I'm not in a religion. I'm in a relationship.

And I'm not even sure what 'intergalactic armageddons' mean...except maybe the word 'armageddon' which I heard from a movie too.

I'm guessing intergalactic means something from an inner galaxy?

I dunno.

I'm going to watch Godzilla.

See ya!

Bye

Yeah, intergalactic armageddon means a war between galaxies. The people in the movie obviously assumed that there are other intelligent life forms out there then, a belief which I do not share.

Criticise me all you want, but that's my viewpoint.

I won't believe until they bring up a photo of a lifeform from another planet.

today in German class, Herr Finley showed us this picture of a messy room (we are currently learning tye names of common household objects & how to describe them) he then had us say something describing the room. this is what i said: "Es schauen wie Hölle"

Google Translate is helping me.

The central bank supports the ailing banking sector with a [stimulus fund? - it says "windfall"] of nearly 500 bil Euro.
The loans were first for three years "enshrined" (I don't have a clue what that could be.

Honoured?) so that banks can make 1% profit p.a.


YAY!

You sound like me German-wise. My friend and I are always coming up with weird and unexpected answers to the teacher's questions.
