julietscity: but at night ... we can't say, Guten Tag

julietscity: The teacher was very interesting and we were not bored when we first started...

romeobanglore: hahahaha...no...Tag means day

julietscity: He is a university professor there...

romeobanglore: did he explain in your language?

julietscity: Of course he did... This class is for the most basic people ... like me ... we don't know any German ... but he teaches us how to pronounce each letter

julietscity: ...Guten Abend...

romeobanglore: say Guten Abend

julietscity: Guten abend

romeobanglore: Abend means evening

julietscity: I am... what???

romeobanglore: yeah

romeobanglore: guten abend means good evening

romeobanglore: hahahaha...MMMMAAA

romeobanglore: you learn very fast!!!

julietscity: Learning German is not difficult ... the teacher said that German has some things in common with English

julietscity: because this is a daily conversation class ... the teacher doesn't need to teach grammar ... as long as I keep practicing speaking ... it is still easy to learn at present

romeobanglore: yeah...but the grammar is entirely different

julietscity: of course, and he said... Learn German for free in Germany ... how come?

romeobanglore: Ich gratuliere dich

julietscity: I ??? you?

romeobanglore: really? no fee?

julietscity: in university

julietscity: hey... don't teach me to speak too difficult words now

romeobanglore: hahahaha...okay!!!!

romeobanglore: "Ich liebe dich"

julietscity: after the teacher's explanation ... now I know how to listen to a tape about German

julietscity: ha...I know this... he also taught today...

julietscity: "I love you"...and the "kindergarten" also...you have taught me

romeobanglore: do you have a German translator in the computer?

julietscity: of course not

julietscity: but it can be found on the website ... I can translate German just by going to that website

romeobanglore: I have a computer dictionary...I will send it now

julietscity: and teacher said..."Ich liebe dich"... It sounds like scolding ... unlike English I love you, it sounds sweeter

julietscity: hey ... after I started taking the G1 course ... then I might need your computer dictionary

romeobanglore: I sent it...it can translate, German, Spanish and French...

julietscity: not so anxious now...

romeobanglore: you may need it...because while studying language, you should never keep a doubt in mind

romeobanglore: das ist sehr wichtig

julietscity: hmm... I know to apply for a German course at a German university ... People should be above G3 or G2...

julietscity: ??? what is this?

romeobanglore: oh...I didn't know that

romeobanglore: very important

romeobanglore: I didn't know that!

julietscity: Ginseng is a plant with rhizomes growing in the soil. After digging out, the whole bunch of roots looks like humans...

julietscity: go to our news station now

julietscity: you don't know what article I posted

romeobanglore: hmmm...how can I translate Ginseng? It's not German!

julietscity: it's English

julietscity: that should be the period when I lost my classmates in elementary school ... and the period when I was in a bad condition

romeobanglore: but you didn't have a computer then, right?

julietscity: From May 24, 1995, to June 10, 1996

julietscity: I have a Notebook with me all the time when the computer still on 486...and I typed it to finish my all script

romeobanglore: tell me the story...

julietscity: during that time ... I lost my car ... quit my job ... then I went to live in the temple ... and returned to the committee to work for the second time

julietscity: hey...it's not a story...it's a diary...

romeobanglore: I like to know about that! why don't you translate it?

julietscity: some friends were recorded there ... Alison and Gene ... well, I didn't know Kelvin at the time.

romeobanglore: and maybe I can correct it and put as an English article also

julietscity: Translate it? hey...it's very difficult

julietscity: NO...

julietscity: go to the guestbook ... I posted the letter myself (because she emailed me) and I posted the reply...

romeobanglore: from who?

julietscity: written in my language and English ... you will know why my language is difficult to understand ... if my people can get a deeper meaning through my story ... it doesn't mean I can translate the same point of view in English, to express what I want to convey...

julietscity: the girl or woman sent me an email to yahoo and said she liked my story

romeobanglore: okay leave it

julietscity: modify my English ... from the guestbook
