Who says German can’t be
fun? Read this story and
you’ll see just much
fun it can be.
I’m not a teacher or professor. This isn’t a language book or a dry instruction manual. My world is not the clean or pristine environment of a classroom, where you’d hear perfect German spoken from professional performers. (Who speaks in any language perfectly?) I’m an American author who’s lived in Germany for six years. In “Bitte was?”, I tackle the language of German in this humorous story of how I struggled to relearn the language, after being away from it for over 20 years. No one is off limits when it comes to poking a bit of fun, not even me!
Welcome to the real world of the German language!
I write about the real world and what I’ve encountered as I struggled to relearn German, one of the world’s most difficult languages. Hopefully, you won’t make the same mistakes I’ve made.
If you’ve ever taken a foreign language and tried to say something in “perfect” German (or French or Spanish or Mandarin), only to realize you made a terrible mistake, THIS STORY IS FOR YOU!
If you’ve ever said something that left the other person completely speechless or shocked, or you’ve said something you thought was a compliment, only to realize you said something extremely rude, THIS STORY IS FOR YOU!
Or maybe you’re studying a language in school now and you want to understand what it’s like to hold real conversations in the real world.
Then, THIS STORY IS FOR YOU!
