courgette, veal, salmon These three words are which I learned today. So I am writing something about them but only some thinkings which don't belong to a story at all. I ate cougette at the first time in Germany. It is known to be the same sort like pumpkin, which takes long time to cook by the way;) Cougette came from Italy originally and then it was brought to everywhere in Europa. For me it has less taste than tofu, which I like much more. Beside, it tastes bitter if you fry/cook it for a long time. And veal ... Since I used to eat more pork, I know less about veal. I think it would be very tough if you cook it for a long time, what is different from pork, in my littel memory;) Salmon was my favorite fish in Germany. In my first years in Germany it was a little bit cheaper than now. That's why I don't eat it now. Another thing I know about it is its red-orange color. The color can come from a pigment which the industry add to it. The pigment is also an antioxidant which helps you against stress. That's all. Thanks very much if someone takes time to help me with my English:)

does this sentence sound natural? Hi, does this sentence sound natural?: Besides my fluent German, I was very good at understanding English articles and ... I am not sure if I used the "besides" correctly here. Thanks a lot:)

Use of two "with" in a sentence Hi, I am making a brief summary of myself and write this: "Master’s degree in ... with a focus on A, B, and C with a very good final grade" Should I put a comma before the second "with"? Is it strange with two "with" here? Thanks a lot:)

far-fetched? I am going to write a story which is made by using these new words and phrases: be made up of, by the time (you leave), by then, devastate, far-fetched?, suppose. I hope you will like it;) My hometown was just made up of twenty houses about twenty-five years ago. To be honest, I will haven't been in my hometown for exactly twenty years by the time I go back next month. By then I will definitely have a special feeling to see it again. About fifteen years ago there was an very strong earthquake. At that time I read from the TV news that it was devastated totally by the earthquake. I suppose that the people there had to rebuild their house or move to other cities. Thank you first of all;)

The day of hearts After a long break I have to start writing text hier in English every day. Today I will write some sentences using some phrases which are made of "heart". There are "heart of gold", "heart-to-heart", "by heart", "change of heart", "follow the heart", "not have the heart to do sth.", "have the heart set on sth.", "heart of hearts", "cross my heart", "take heart", "half-hearted(-ly)", "heart is in the throat", "light-hearted", and "heart skips a beat". Last year I lived with a girl with a heart of gold. She really likes helping people and making people laughing. It was very lucky to have her as my roomate. Sometimes we had light-hearted talks and sometimes we also had heart-to-heart conversation about our works and our experiences in our life. When I make practice for a lot of times, I can do the thing by heart. This is only for the things which I really want to do. Things like cooking I always only give my half of heart. At the moment I am searching jobs. But in my heart of hearts, maybe I don't have my heart set on the searching. I cross my heart that I will try my best to find a job!!

Verkraft die Enttäuschungen und Bleib am Ball;) Ein paar Sätze aus den neuen Wörtern bzw. Wortverbindungen, die ich heute im Laufe des Tages abgeschrieben habe. (1) verkraften Zurzeit bin ich auf der Suche nach Jobs aber bisher habe ich nur Absagen von den Firmen bekommen, bei denen ich mich beworben hatte. Die Enttäuschungen muss ich sowieso verkraften. Dann mache ich es lieber schneller als langsam. (2) aufbringen Man erlebt manchmal auch tiefe Phasen in seinem Leben. Dabei muss ich trotz Allem Kraft und Mut für die nötigen Entscheidungen in dem Moment aufbringen. // Ich bin manchmal so emotional, dass ich alle gegen mich aufbringe. (So ein Moment habe ich in meiner Erinnerung noch nie.) (3) eintrudeln Dass die Deutschen immer pünktlich sind, ist jetzt nur noch eine Klischee gewesen. Oft trudeln die Deutschen auch trotz Verspätung ein. (4) am Ball bleiben Trotz Scheiterungen muss man immer am Ball bleiben. Die Hauptsache ist, dass man immer weiter macht. (5) Stolpersteine (überwinden) Jeder Weg kommt zu Rom. Allerdings sind auf jedem Weg auch viele Stolpersteine dabei, die dich nach unten ziehen können. (6) alte Gewohnheit über Bord werfen Wenn du nicht mit deinem bisherigen Leben zufrieden bist, muss du deine alte Gewohnheiten über Bord werfen. Damit wird dein Schiff etwas leichter und robuster, um weiter zu gehen. Vielen lieben Dank für dein Lesen und für deine Korrektur:)

happy keyboard Hi, I am trying my keyboard with my android tablet. And it works!! I am happy.

Bony and Lily met each other after ages I am going to write a story using these new words and phrases which I put together roudumly: go straight to sleep, for ages, shut in the wind, deduction, inside the school, journey, trip. Bony and Lily haven't seen each other for ages. They met today in a funny situation in the train station. Bony got a deduction of her salary today. Her boss said the projects didn't go well last year and everyone should get a deduction from the salary. Bony has five children and all of them are still inside the school. And they didn't take a weekend trip for a long time. Today Bony saw Lily was asking a young stuff of a bread store in the train station about a toilet, when Bony was on her journey to go back home like usually. Lily and the stuff was outside the store when Lily was asking. Unfortnately (for the stuff), at that time the door shut in the wind but the stuff didn't have the key in his pocket. ... After a long funny story they went straight to bed when they arrived Bony's house together.

Erkenntnisse interpretieren? Hi zusammen,

ich wollte den folgenden Satz in mein Anschreiben für eine Bewerbung hinein schreiben aber finde irgendwie keine richtigen Wörter, insbesondere bei dem letzten Satzteil:/ Momentan habe ich so formuliert: "Während des Studiums konnte ich sehr gut englischsprachiges Material bearbeiten und die Erkenntnisse auf Deutsch interpretieren." Wäre schön , wenn mir jemand von euch ein paar Tipps gibt.

Dankeschön im Voraus :)
