    Könnte jemand diesen kurzen Text überprüfen? Wie würdest du dasselbe sagen? Danke sehr!

    Ich kann das den Flug wann ich will buchen, aber das heißt nicht, dass ich einen Sitzplatz bekomme.
    Wir fliegen stand by mit einem Stand-by-Ticket.
    Ich muss zum Flughafen und dort einchecken und dann einfach darauf warten, bis ob ich einen Sitzplatz bekomme. Manchmal kriege ich keinen aund dann muss ich am nächsten Tag nochmal zum Flughafen und nochmal warten.

     

    ___

    there's no German word for "Stand-by flights", we'd probably just say the english term "stand-by ticket", but write it with a capital letter because it's a noun.

    Unlike the article "das", that is always with a single-s at the end,  the subsentence starting conjunction "dass", while pronounced the same way, is written with a double-s and always follows a comma or a punctuation mark. :D

    Könnte Würde jemand das bitte korrigieren? Vielen Dank!

    Ich bin gerade in eine Cafe gewesen. Während ich in der Sclange gestanden habe, habe ich den Entschluss gefaßt, die eine spezielle Speise zu bestellen. Es Sie heißt Brooklyn Bagel. Es Sie enthält meine Lieblings-Zutaten: der Lachs, natürlich die den Bagel, der Frischkäse, die Zwiebel und die Gurke. Diese Kombination mag ich sehr und es ist eine sehr geschmackvolle leckere Erfahrung.

     

    ____

    pretty good.

    "Könnte jemand das korrigieren?" is not wrong, but i personally find it a bit too direct... using "würde" makes it sound a bit softer and less demanding, the "bitte" makes it a bit more polite as well.

    The article at the beginning of sentence three and four is referring to "die Speise" which is female, so you have to use the female article "sie", even if the Bagel is something I'd consider as male (it is difficult with English words because they don't have a specific gender in the country they come from).

    the Lieblingszutaten: while it is not wrong it sound a bit stiff to use the article all the time, I'd more write it like:

    <em>"Sie enthält meine Lieblings-Zutaten: Lachs, natürlich den Bagel, Frischkäse, Zwiebeln und Gurke."</em> don't ask me why "Zwiebeln" is plural an the rest is singular...it just sounds more right to me.

    Eine "geschmackvolle Erfahrung" English "a tasteful experience" is also not wrong, but sounds a bit weird in my opinion. "Geschmackvoll" to me seems to be used more for things like clothing or interior design or something like that.

    I'd more say something like <em>"ich mag dieser Kombination sehr und es war sehr lecker."</em>

    hair colours Isn't it funny how hair colours are an attribute often stereotyped in a lot of different countries? Great britain being a "ginger" seems often to be a reason for children to made fun of and also in Germany, you're looked at strange for being a redhead. "Rote Haare, Sommersprossen sind des Teufels Bundgenossen." is a German saying, roughly translated to "red hair and freckles are in league with the devil". generally there are a lot of stereotypes about people with red hair, some of them being mean and sexist and some are...well, different, like "In der Regel haben Wikinger rote Bärte" , which makes fun of the two of the meanings for "die Regel", meaning the "red week" of women and "in general", so it can be read as "in general vikings have red beards" and "during the menstruation period vikings have red beards"...but of course this is not fun at all, since Germans don't have humour, as I was told. being a natural redhead, can mean you get more attention, even if you don't want it, because there are not so many redheads in Germany. Just around three percent of the people have red hair. The second most uncommon hair colour in Germany is blackhair with around seven percent, depending on the statistics. It is kind of weird, that there seem to be much more men with black hair than women. there are not many stereotypes about black hair itself, but a lot of foreigners and the so-called "Gastarbeiter"-immigrants from the seventies mainly from Italy and Turkey have or had (some may be grey or white by now) very dark hair, so maybe, depending of the skintone, some people may encounter stereotypes and racism. :( The so-called "keltische Typ", the celtic type, sometimes also called "Schneewittchen-Type", snow white type, is a person with very pale skin and eyes and black hair. It is considered as especially beautiful. Next more common hair colour is blond with around 20 percent of the people living in Germany. Which has, while being called "beautiful", often has a negative connotation. Not so much men, but blond women are very sexualised, are said to be very naive, not so faithful and of course...stupid. there are tons of jokes about the stupidity of blond women. So much that the word "blond" also often is used as substitute for "dumb". "Ich bin zu blond dafür!", "I'm too blond for that!", means basically that the person thinks they're too stupid to do or understand something. Personally, i think all this stereotyping is really dumb. In the end it's just hair!

    Meine Kindheit in dem im Dorf

    Zurzeit wohnlich wohne ich in einer Stadt, weil ich an der Universität studiere, die sich in der Stadt befindet. Aber meine ganze Kindheit habe ich in einem Dorf verbracht. Das Dorf heißt Nesnanowo und zählt ungefähr 600 Einwohner.
    Obwohl es in dem Dorf fast keine Möglichkeiten gibt, um seine Freizeit zu verbringen, hatten ich und meine Freunde immer etwas zu machen tun.
    Im Sommer gingen wir oft zum Fluss, der sich nicht weit von meinem Haus befindet. Da schwummen schwammen wir lange Zeit und spielten am Ufer Volleyball.
    Beim gutenm Wetter konnten wir auch zum Sportplatz gehen, der neben meiner Schule liegt. Dort spielte ich oft Fußball mit meinen Freunden.
    Im Winter lauften liefen wir gewöhnlich Ski oder spielten machten eine Schneeballschlacht.
    Das war einfach eine wunderbare Zeit!

    日本とドイツの沿革 今日に私は大学のホー ムワークを書きます。テエーマは”1889の日本の明治のコンスチツーションに対し1849のプロイセンのコンスチツーションに対し1871のドイツのコンスチツーション”が在ります。 テエーマは面白い、もっとも無ゆかしいです。 レヴォルーションや兵乱や経済しんぽから、十九世紀は荒い時代がでした。 天王とドイツのカイザル両方に神聖の人でした。ドイツ語では”Gottesgnadentum“です。ベルリンのアルベルト・モッセが日本のコンスチツーションを力貨すます。モッセの宗教ユダヤ経でした。 今年ドイツは百四十四年!幾つもの国々は大年と比べれば です。ときの間に事々変遷します、血を沸かすような です。
