I have learned most German in an unconventional way. I like the nice green weather and enjoy my intermittent stays in Germany. I plan to take both A1 and A2 tests in 2019. As of now it's sort of hard to prove that I know certain grammatical things because I need practice. I'm guessing I might be a B1 level individual with holes in my knowledge. I like watching movies in German and switching cartoon languages to German if possible. I like finding Germans at social events that want to speak to me, but don't speak English well... it gives me practice. Spanish is my 3rd language after Korean. I think with time I can pick this language up much faster than all the others. I have found it very useful in travel and at home within my community. It's also sometimes a nice switch when I've looked at another language too long. I've always had a fascination with eastern Europe ever since I was a child. Kind of like how many children have a fascination with Japanese things. That alone is enough for me to learn Russian when I can. Bulgarian is an odd one but for some reason it seems simpler, I don't know why. I like that fact that there aren't as many resources for it. The learning process feels more traditional and raw. Romanian, Vietnamese, Chinese, are some others I plan to start but I have my hands full already. I bought a text book in Romanian so that will probably come first. It's a Romantic language so why not?

    Hallo, Ich bin Amerikaner. Ich suche für ein DeutschSprachpartner. Jederzeit doch gewöhnlich am Wochende. Ich hatte gerne zu fleßend zu sein... eines Tages... Naturlich ging ich zum keine Schule. Ich lerne fast ganz entlang die Straße. Ich kann dich mit Englisch hilfen oder vielleicht Koreanisch. Wenn du willst... Ich hoffe jemand ist da.

    Sounds like a good idea to me,

    I'm not a deeply experienced teacher but I can do my best to help you out with that.  I'm on central time in the USA, so I think you're maybe 6 hours ahead of me.  Somewhere between like 6pm to 9pm your time could work maybe tomorrow.  If you like later hours, then I could possibly speak to you Monday or Tuesday.  Like, 9pm or later on UK time...

    If that sounds good, I'll throw some stuff out here that maybe you can use for your ideas...

    I started working on the German A1 exam material,  I have learned informally so I may speak a bit odd compared to someone who has been schooled, prepositions are a bit confusing, long sentences aren't so bad on paper but a bit difficult in speech, listening to long sentences is even harder...

    I've seen a lot of words and know of a lot of rules but they can be challenging to summon on the fly.  In practice I will likely sound like a beginner.  


    Just post here if that sounds good and we can figure out a time...

    Thanks

    Anyone can keep posting, I hope to be fluent one day, so I need all the help I can get!

    Hi Andreas,

    That sounds cool, thanks for your response.  I peeped at your profile real fast, I know some Korean if you're learning it, perhaps I can help you out with some of that so it's not just a one sided exchange...

    Vielleicht habe ich etwas Zeit heute später oder irgendwann morgen.  Or just let me know when you're available...

    Hallo hallo? Gibt es jemand, das deutsch gegen englisch tauschen möchte?

    I was born in the USA.  I have been learning German informally.  I want more verbal practice!  Ich will mehr reden Trainieren.  This weekend would be good for starters, but I would like to continue speaking with you on occassion.  Manchmals, wohne ich in Deutschland.  Ich liebe es <3.  If there's anyone that would like to do a language exchange please let me know.  I actually am a certified English teacher, so I could help you with some technical things and speech.

    Any Bulgarian natives looking for a native English speaker to exchange with on occasion?

     I don't know anything really.  I visited Bulgaria and will go back for a while again.  I know a few words and if I needed to talk to people in the shops I would just look up what I could, memorize it, and then try it out.  I found that English was kind of rare and even the young people generally didn't speak at a high level (if at all).  If they knew enough I usually would have them teach me a word before I left.  

    Google is silly.  I once walked into a store looking for nails so I could fix my door.  I asked for "nokti" but the lady later figured out what I was talking about and said the word is "peroni"... I was accidentally asking for fingernails...

    I'm not looking for a teacher to pay at this point.  I'm still very new and I cannot focus on this language because I am very busy.  I'm working on just building basics and a foundation, in case I have the opportunity to learn more later.

    I would just like to find someone to chat and exchange with for like 30 minutes to an hour every once in a while.

    When I go back to Bulgaria later I will need help most likely, since I like trying to mingle in.  I will help you with any English that I can.  Or just let you practice having a conversation.

    Can you video chat with another member on Italki, or is that only for student/teacher interaction?

    Practice Beginner German in exchange for native English Conversation

    I live in Germany sometimes.  I know a bunch of words but I need practice in speaking... some very simple things too.


    Aber jetzt ich wohne im US, also habe ich kein praktisch Partner.

    I think I can talk about anything.  So in exchange I can give you some native conversational practice.  I'm from the south.  I think I just sound about average, but some Germans have told me they hear an accent when they hear me talk.

    I can also try to help you if you don't know much English at all.  If you have some German to offer then that is good enough for me.


    Some possible topics...

    -difference in life

    -career

    -art

    -comedy


    I'm available on weekends mostly but message me and I can possibly be flexible
