[Sanftleben]

Thou shalt not use German word order!

 

[Der Namenlose]

*doh* ... always "or" and (oder) and "is" and (ist) and so many "and"'s in my sentences with "and"

 

[.cb]

Wow. @ is really just AT .... I thought so too, but the woman I phoned with was not even close familiar to this expression. (Native)

Maybe the reason was...woman...

 

[harzer_knaller]

It surely IS pronounced "at" (ätt)!

what the fuck are you talking about?

I think we should continue our helpfully english-lesson.

Today i thought to be swimming against the river without a engine and only with a broken oars. It's not easy to continue a nice and useful job, if somebody is working against you.

If i feel like a train stopped by a wall build with a unbelievebal amount of metal. But i never give up my position, i will fight against this cruel and never be a member of this system...

May I?

[ElBaRtO_90]

This refers more or less to the topic:
Which kind of stil of speaking english do you prefer? British-english, American-english or Australian-english (for those who don't know: the Australians speak an english which sounds more british than they do speak in the UK)?

Personally I prefer the Australian way of speaking, because it sounds very smart and polite but you can also insult somebody and it doesn't sound some kind of gay

Yeah, good question

Australian english sounds good ...

 

[.cb]

American. I watched too many movies from the us.

 

[FischOderAal]

we had that topic on the last few pages Bertel prefers AE, I prefer BE

but honestly I'm rather speaking AE, because that's what I hear when I play videogames or watch movies/series. that's what I like about CoD-SP for instance you can distinct easily between the american and the british english. and due to that I bought each CoD in english language.

bloody hell, we just got our asses kicked!

 

[Sanftleben]

British English: You ARSE! (<- Worms World Party )
American English: You ASS!
Australian English: You DILL! (<- at least that's what my Australian roommate tells me)

I really prefer the American way, but I quite like the Australian accent, too.

 

[ElBaRtO_90]

Dude, cronk sounds awesome

 

[Sanftleben]

Just asked him again, cronk means "dumbfuck", whereas dill would be the better equivalent to ass.

Hah, it's so nice to have a native English speaker right next to your room.

 

[FischOderAal]

have you played the Demo of Crysis? I just loved the accent of Psycho there

That's bollocks and you know it!

 

[raidmyck]

same here

australian:

angus young: "[i'm angis young from icee-dicee]"

rocks

 

[Sanftleben]

bloody hell, we just got our asses kicked!

Oh hey, btw: please make another one of these great CoD-fragvideos. They were awesome

 

[T.Lancer]

Hah, it's so nice to have a native English speaker right next to your room.

ah, it's so nice to be a native speaker

I find that australian english has the funniest slang and insults known to the human race.

 

[harzer_knaller]

I like to hear scottish English

 

[FischOderAal]

Oh hey, btw: please make another one of these great CoD-fragvideos. They were awesome

hmmm. maybe I'll start recording in CoD4. but I don't know if I've got enough spare time to do another movie though :/ my study is eating up all the time.
plus I don't play that much any more I played CoD2 app. 2-3 hours a day as I went to school.

thanks for the compliment *bows*

 

[Sanftleben]

I'm always crying with laughter when he announces that he's going to "hit the sack", wants to make a "sanger" or is about to call his "nipper". (going to bed, sandwich, young brother)

Joa mei, Akzente und bes. Dialekte sind was schönes, hoabts mi? ^^

 

[mb.Tab]

Yeah, the guy who started this thread should really be awarded
However, I kinda like the American english much more than the British. To be honest I could laugh every single time I hear British follks talking.
O-Ton: "Hey chap, let´s go dAhncing tonight"
Besides all that the Australian countryside accent (good old cowboys) is pretty fucking cool

Just my 2 cents, keep it comin´ guys

 

[Koffein]

....at least that's what my Australian roommate tells me)

You share your room with a male ?

 

[harzer_knaller]

oh, Caffeine, it's again you and your guylove, eh?
btw, girls can also be called "mates"!

 

[beQuiet]

Krauts...we are Krauts!

And now...please be quiet.

Jeez, ain't it a funny atmosphere in this thread?

Damnit, thought it wasn't correct at all.

 

[Sanftleben]

You share your room with a male ?

You once shared a room..no wait, you even shared about 1 square meter with your MOM!

Think about it... I haven't.

 

[FischOderAal]

a room or room? does it make a difference? I'd guess a room is the thingie with the four walls, a bottom and a ceiling. and room is just like the volume, you know. but I don't know, knarzer?!

 

[Sanftleben]

You can't say "you shared room" and "you shared some room" sounds weird to me. So I'd stick with the square meter. (Yes, it's METER, not METRE )

 

[FischOderAal]

that's not standard oxford english

 

[Sanftleben]

I don't give a flying fig about what you just said
