Mein Tag / My Day

Auf Deutsch:
Heute hat es in München geregnet, aber trotzdem bin ich im Zentrum gegangen. Bei Müller im Tal habe ich vier CDs gekauft, für echt günstigen Preisen. (Du kannst über meine neuen CDs lesen in meinem Music Log.) Ich habe Mittagessen bei dem Münchner Kartoffelhaus gegessen, ein Lokal mit viele, viele Kartoffelspezialitäten. Dann bin ich in der Hugendubel (eine grosse Buchhandlung) gegangen, ein paar Bücher zu kaufen.

Gestern abend beim Stammtisch hat eine Deutsche Lehrerin mir empfohlen, Deutschen Kinderbücher zu lesen. Ich wollte Heidi von Johanna Spyri, aber heute habe ich nur einen "neue Erzählung" von Heidi gefunden. Nein, danke! Also, ich habe zwei Bücher von Erich Kästner gekauft, und zwei Bücher mit Deutsche Grammatik. Ich freue mich über die Bücher. Jetzt kann ich viele Verben lernen und Kinderbücher lesen! (Ich lese gern Kinderbücher schon auf Englisch; die sind meine Lieblingsbücher!)

In English:
Today it rained in Munich, but I went to town anyway. At Müller (a shop in Tal Street) I bought four CDs for good prices. (You can read about them in my Music Log.) I had lunch at the Münchner Kartoffelhaus (the Munich Potato House), a pub with many potato specialities. Then I went to Hugendubel (a large bookstore) to buy a couple of books.

Yesterday evening at the Stammtisch, one of the German teachers suggested to me that I read some German children's books. I wanted Heidi by Johanna Spyri, but today I found only a "new retelling" of Heidi. No thanks! So I bought two books by Erich Kästner, and two books of German grammar. I am happy about the books. Now I can learn lots of verbs and read children's books! (I already like to read children's books in English; they are my favorite type of book!)

I have heard from a few German readers who are visiting Raspberry World these days, and I thought I would start writing a little bit of German here from time to time. I will translate into English, as I did above, for my readers who don't speak German. And if a reader would like to explain a point of Grammatik to me, I won't be offended. Just write me e-mail.

As I said, last night I attended the Stammtisch again. It was great to speak some German with a couple of the teachers from the Institut and some of the current students. We met at the Paulaner Bräuhaus in Kapuziner Platz. It's nice that they encourage those of us who live in Munich to come to the Stammtisch even when our classes are finished. It is very useful to me.

Then, tonight, when Marty got home we spoke German for thirty minutes. I am all about the Deutsch today!
