TD, can you tell me if this is right please?

Ich bin eine mann und ich liebe den dammen.

(trying to put a sentence together -- not so much to convey any actual meaning but just for practice)

Maybe "Ich bin ein Mann und liebe Frauen"? Is that what you want to say or do you mean "ladies" rather than just "women"?

Maybe we should set up one more lounge for learning German, and create some German (GSL) tests
I'm pretty sure it'll catch on pretty soon Smile

Hi Ralf,

This sounds like a quotation from a famous poet or even philosopher. Do you have any examples that prove the veracity of this statement?

Thanks,
Torsten

is the "u" in "und" more like the vowel phoneme in "could/would/should" or the phoneme in "noon/toon/June"?

is it oond or und (rhyming with "could")?

also, is the "d" almost the same as a "t"?

unt?

also, if you guys don't mind -- i've never taken a german class, so this will be news to me -- could one of you show me the conjugations (at least present tense) of the verb "to be"?

I think I know two of them:

Ich bin
Du bist

Yes Tom, the "u" in "und" is very close to the sound in "could" and the "d" is pronounced as a "t". Does your boss speak German too? You should ask for a raise since you are improving your German...
