German speakers - wanna do me a quick favor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Sharkû*** · 09-17-2007, 06:37 AM

Hey everybody, sorry for not having stopped by in quite a while.

Anyway, as the title says, I'm calling the German speaking Downs members: I'm working on a university paper on tricky cases of German grammar. What you could do to help me out really quick is fill out a short, easy-click survey on some examples I've put up. I promise it'll only take a few minutes. Thanks very much for helping me out here! Of course I'd also be very grateful if you wanted to forward the survey to anyone else to fill out.

Now I realise how bad I actually am in German...

Hmm.. I wish I could've done some more German at school, ah well, I had to chose between Latin, Greek, French and German... I chose Latin and Greek and I don't regret my choice

I do understand about 60-80% of when I read something random in German though... Looks a lot like my native language, which is Dutch....
