    We're both quite romantic (read: cheesy xD), but I think he might find it kitschy and I'd like to avoid that. I found a different poem called "Dann" unfortunately I haven't been able to find anyone saying it aloud online.

    Aber Hallo Native Germans :) Can you help me memorize a poem?

    Hallo Leuts, 

    It's nearly my boyfriend's birthday and I wanted to recite a poem for him (auf Deutsch) as a sort of birthday gift. I didn't write the poem- It's called "Der Blick"- Eichendorff. The pauses between phrases, emphasis on different syllables, and pronunciation make Germany very special (and also difficult- for me). I was hoping someone would be able to record themselves saying the poem and send it to me somehow. It's a short poem. It would be 30-60 seconds of reading (speaking) and I would listen to it a lot/ use it as a reference for my "recital." As a side note- maybe you could also tell me if this poem appears extremely cheesy? To me it's very beautiful, but I'd love to hear your opinions. Vielen dank für ihre Hilfe. :)

    You may think I am a person who believes in fate, but I'm not. Let's examine fate from a scientific point of view. For example, when you see an apple you want to eat it. Why do you want to eat it?  Maybe your taste buds are reacting to the apple. Maybe you have memories from your childhood of when your grandparents gave you apples from their kitchen or their garden. Everything happens for a reason. Let's consider another thing. If you throw a ball into the air you know, for certain,  that it will fall down. If you know the mass and start speed, you can even calculate how long it will take to fall. Now, let's imagine that we can calculate (it)* for all the atoms of an object. This would mean that we could predict its behaviour. Our brains our also made up of atoms. So isn't it possible to predict a person's actions? Some physicists think that our universe is chaotic on an atomic level. How can we say that we have freedom of choice if the atoms of our brains behave chaotically?

    *Calculate what?

    I study English almost every day. I find new words and write them in my notebook. Sometimes I build sentences with new words because building new sentences helps me remember these new words. Before, I didn't understand why people study new words, but when I'm able to use new words with my teacher I feel proud. A bigger vocabulary* allows me to describe and **discuss new subjects. I hope I don't (cast)? to study English and I hope to someday speak fluently. If I didn't have a goal, I wouldn't be able to study English. I want to take an exam to prove my  English skills next year. This is my goal. I hope I can do it!

    *Replaced "new words" 
    **Replaced "talk about"

    I have never been there. I'm longing to do it, but I have never found the time.

    I like the past and present culture, the traditional music, and above all else, Ireland's scenes and landscapes.
    I like to think too about the connection between Ireland and Galicia.
    https://wsimag.com/es/viajes/14670-galicia-la-nacion-celta-mas-desconocida

    To me, the element that best demonstrates this link is the bagpipes. However, the landscape and the traditional folklore demonstrate this connection as well.
    I use youtube videos to improve my English. This is one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYa8nOB2_3s.

    In this video, you can listen to an explanation for the name Galway (a city in Ireland). "Galway" means "foreigner city." The Gal prefix means "foreigner" in Gaelic. Maybe "Galicia" means something similar?

    In Galicia there are dolmens and menhirs too.
    In Irish, a special term exists,"cumha, " which can mean "nostalgia" or  "longing". In Gallego, the word "morriña" exists that means something similar and is very characteristic of the personality of Gallegos.

    I could spend so much time talking about this. If anyone loves Ireland like I do, I would like to write with them for a long time about this.

    Thanks for reading.

    She has a great self-control, strength, and pride. She was invisible, but irreplaceable. She could drive anyone insane. She has one problem, she always loved the wrong people. They broke her, and she ran after her master like a forgotten puppy in the pouring rain.

    Ein Bisschen Über Mich Hallo, ich bin Mary und ich wohne in Berlin, aber ich komme aus den USA also ich spreche sehr gut Englische. Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch aber nicht so viel. Ich habe Deutsch in Highschool gelernt, aber ich habe nicht aufgepasst. Ich wohne jetzt in Deutschland und es ist wichtig für mich zu mehr Deutsch lernen. Ich bin eine Studentin an der Deutsch Sprachschule jetzt aber meine Klasse ist groß und ich möchte mehr Deutsch trainieren. Ich möchte zu eine Universität besuchen und vielleicht einen Job finden. Ich spiele gern Sport, besonders Tischtennis. Ich renne gern und ich wandere gern auch. Ich höre gern, Soul Musik, R&B, und Rap. Ich zeichne gern und ich schreibe gern über meine Alltagserfahrung. Thaifood ist meine Lieblingsessen. Ich singe gern, aber nur unter der Dusche. Danke für deine Hilfe.
