    Ein fruehe Lauf Heute ist Sonntag. Ich habe sehr frueh um 5 Uhr aufgestehen. In Sommer, ist es immer in den Nachmittags sehr heiss. Deswegen ich mag lieber frueh zu laufen. Am Sonntag war ich fast ganz allein als ich rennen zu angefangen. Es war auch noch dunkel aber die Sonne ging weit von der Oeste auf. Je weiter ich rannte, desto lichter es geworden ist. Ich habe waehrend dies kurz zwei-Milen lauf nur ein Auto und ein andere Leute gesehen. Der andere Mann war auch rennen. Wir haben uns gegenseitig genickt. Jedoch, ich habe viele Tieren gesehen. Eine Kanichen, einer Hirsch und viele Eichoernchen. Kennst du, dass Einhoernchen die schwierigsten Duetschen Wort fuer Amerikaner zu aussprechen ist? Sowieso, ich habe mein frueh lauf genossen. Gluecklich, dass ich kein Schlangen oder Gaense gesehen. Lacheln dich nicht! Gaense sind sehr boese dieses Jahrzeitig. Nach die Gaense hat ihren Eier geliegt, sie sehr aggresiv werden. Einmal, gibt es ein Treppe in der Naehe mein Buero. Eine Gaense hat ihre Eier dort geliegt. Jemal jeman hat da versuchen zu gegangen, diese Gaense hat die angegriffen. Es so schlimm geworden, dass sie diese Treppe geschlossen mussten.

    BBC English.

    There are a lot of events in our lives which we can't think, imagine, or expect, wait, calculate. I want to find out more about pronunciation. In my view different pronunciations are real English's real wealth.
    And certainly I amn't  I'm not trying to playact in a theater or in a film. More precisely, if a famous remarkable producer offered me a role I would agree. But it should   would have to be a really renowned producer. And it has to be respectable role.
    New words and phrases: sometimes referred to as - sometimes called^, way back when - a long time ago^, a lass - a young woman (also lassie, mainly Scottish English or Northern English)^, no longer - it's over, it ended.
    (To be continued)

    Good work. One note, it is not grammatically correct to use "am not" as a contraction like you did with "amn't." It would either be: "I am not" or "I'm not." Some dialects will use a similar contraction "I ain't" but it is not considered correct grammar and is associated with uneducated people (even though it makes perfect sense!)

    As if I could write a story

    She sat in the living room on the sofa, deeply in her thoughts. Her headset plugged into her phone blasting away at her brain with songs 24/7 songs. She usually never listened to any lyrics text lines, only melodies and rhythms were important. But in this time, case it seemed like ironie when ironically, she stumbled on over these songs by of the German band Blutangel, which means something like "Blood Angel." Sure, not many people would care for that kind of dark wave music belonging to the genre dark wave. But is it was great to carry her emotions. And the lyrics text of her favourite (this is correct in British English; Americans spell it "favorite" without the "u") songs fit perfectly into her were just fitting in to what she thoughts and what she needed to say. Live your dream, all these lies, ice soul... She wondered herself about how she ended up sitting here, thinking about the last few months, year, years. And she had not expected that it would effect her at all. But it was a multicasual (this word is accurate but a bit academic; you wouldn't find it in a story like this) cascade of events that led her here, caused her sitting here by herself, trying to figure out what to make out of this.

    Good writing!  I can tell that you are picking up the rhythms of English-language fiction writing. Most of these corrections are small matters of style.  Practice makes perfect! Weiter machen!

Gestern habe ich durch die Wald laufen. Es komisch war, zu Schneehaufen sehen waehrend viele Leute kurzen Hosen trugen war.

Ich war ein bisschen witzig oder sarkastisch, oder vielleicht nur komisch, hier. "Das ist wirklich toll. Ich habe auch nach fuenfzehn Jahre Deutsch wieder angefangen. Ich finde italki gut. Es gibt viele Meet-Up Gruppe bei mein HeimatStadt wo man schlechte Deutch sprechen koennen."

    Can you say the hardest tongue twister? (my writing challenge - day 16)

    “Pad kid poured curd pulled cod.” Can you say it very fast a few times?

    An MIT researcher found this particular combination of words as the most difficult English tongue twister.
    Our brain seems to lose control of our mouth, when we try to say certain phrases very quickly. As we speak we have to coordinate our movements of the tongue, lips, jaw and larynx. Our brain sorts sounds. It decides which muscles have to move for the sounds. The sounds “sss” and “shh” both are produced on the front of the tongue. When you mix both sounds in a sentence, then it is hard to say like in the tongue twister: “She sells sea shells by the sea shore”

    It is a part of a poem by Terry Sullivan:
    She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore;
    The shells she sells are sea-shells, I'm sure;
    For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore;
    Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells."

    It is a poem about a little girl, Mary Anning. HisHer father and her she discovered not only sea shells, but also dinosaur fossils on the beach. They sold them to tourists. As an adult Mary continued to dig and discovered a full-size skeleton of a dinosaur which werewas famous in the 1800’s.

    For a poet maybe it is a poem; for a speech researcher it is interesting; for politicians and speakers it is an good exercise and for mostly people it is a big fun.  ("Big fun" sounds a little strange to me. "lots of fun" or "a lot of fun" sounds more natural.)

    Tongue twisters are a worldwide phenomenon.

    In Germany we have many “Zungenbrecher” (tongue twister in German).
    One of my favorite is:
    Denke, nie gedacht zu haben, denn das Denken der Gedanken ist ein gedankenloses Denken, denn wenn Du denkst, Du denkst, dann denkst Du nur, Du denkst, aber denken tust Du nicht.

    In Czech there is a song full of twisters: „Strč prst skrz krk”

    If you want a real challenge then try this Polish tongue twister: “W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie.”

    I thank you for reading and helping me with corrections and comments.
    Have a lot of fun tomorrow on the international tongue twister day!



    Asti - Very good and interesting! My favorite English tongue twister is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked." 

    Actors will train their voices by saying "Unique, New York" and "I am the very model of the modern major general. I know information animal, vegetable and mineral. I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical. From Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical."

    Eine Frage Ueber Gramatik Koennen Sie mir antworten und korrigieren, bitte? Ich habe ein Frage fuer dich. Ich weiss, wenn man benutzt "weil," muss man die Verb am ende die Saetz stellen. Ist das auch Wahre fuer andere Woerte? Zum Beispiel -- Mein Deutsch Fruend hat geschrieben: "Dein Deutsch wird immer besser! Das ist nicht gut, weil du mich nun verstehen kann." Ich habe er beantwortet: "Nein, muss du fuer mich langsam sprechen, alllerdings ich nur ein bisschen verstehen kann. Ist das richtig? Oder, musst man nur fuer weil die Verben am Ende von Saetz stellen?

    One of the most important books to me

    I believe it should be (OK but just "is" sounds more natural to me) Harry Potter written by J.K. Rowling. It was the first piece of fiction I’ve ever finished reading in English. What affected me so much were not only the amazing stories, but also the experience of enjoying reading through a foreign language. That book even brought me (OK too but it would be more precise to say "inspired me to travel to") to England and Scotland to spend my honeymoon last year. It made me become interested in different cultures and broadened my mind.


    Very good! I understood this fully. You are clearly advanced the only changes are small ones or "nuances" of the language.
