Yes, I am learnig "krauteese" as my friend puts it...

Though ive grown slightly concerned, as French and Spanish are used far more widely worldwide. Even japaneese is spoken more.

Im a little worried. So to anyone on here... Are you either studying german, or Kannst Du die Deutsch spreche?

(Forgive any errors)

Niyne.

uhh....

Schadenfreude...
Wiener schnitzel...
Sieg Heil...

thats all the German I know :D

Ich spreche keine Deutsch.

Danke alle. -.-

Ja: mein deutsch ist so-so. Sonder, ich bin sechzehn Jarhe alt, so Deutche sprechen is sehr schwer und boese. Deutschland ist ein schoenes Platz, Ich muess sag.

Viel glueck!

A bit.

nur ein bischen (how do you do umlauts on this damn keyboard??)

studied it for 5 years at school and my mum's side of the family is german/polish. forgotten most of it though :(

but i do way prefer the language over french or spanish, which i've also attempted to learn in the past. german just fits me better :)

would like to go back to the motherland (or fatherland... i mean Germany.) in fact ;)

Ok were getting somewhere now.

I prefered it too the laughably easy spanish and the riddiculously hard french. Plus the cognates.... Ooh! The cognates!

Plus the cognates.... Ooh! The cognates!
What are those? <<

äöü (and ß, for good measure)

Pfft, easy. :D

Ja, ich kann deutsch sprechen. Ich habe Deutsch vier Jahren bei mein Schule genommt. Ich bin (sehr) weit von Perfekt, aber kann ich dich helfen. Was möchtest du?

oh yeah?! i can do this... ||||||¬¬¬¬££££... beat that :D

(on a more serious note, French keyboards confuse ten shades of shit out of me :p)

Es ist ok, ich nur dein Andworten brauche. Danke.

Ich kann auch Deutsch. Es ist aber auch nicht perfekt.

The cognates do rock the face pretty hard I must say....

That and the pronunciation rocks... seriously... we need more 'k's in English... blöde Englisch!

Ja, und ich kann Glas essen, es tut mir nicht weh.

Ich spreche fließend Deutsch, ich bin nämlich Österreicher. Übrigens wird auch in einigen östlichen Ländern Europas Deutsch gesprochen (Hungary and so on) es kann also durchaus nützlich sein Deutsch sprechen zu können.

†‡•|Œ << beat that^^


PS: Eine kleine Warnung: In Austria and Germany you would get arrested for shouting "Sieg Heil!"

Er, ich spreche ein bischen(that correct?) Deutsch. Aber mein akzent(I think I'm making that up) ist sehr gut :P

A bit.
Likewise.

Die korrekte Form ist "bisschen" aber man kann auch "bißchen" verwenden, allerdings ist "bißchen" aus der alten Rechtschreibung.

Ich kann Deutsch lesen, aber ich kann nicht so gut hören.
Or something like that. I figure if I ever go to Germany, I'll just carry around a note pad and pretend to be deaf.

I still don't know what cognates are. And am too lazy to look it up. Someone tell me.

cognates are all the signs which you don't have on your keyboard and you only get them with specific key-combinations, for example: alt + 0134 = †
simply hold down alt and press some keys on the num-block.

Words that are the same/similar across languages.
Like "Alkohol" and "Alcohol", or "Bier" and "beer", or "Whiskey" and "whiskey," or "Wodka" and "Vodka."

Alright, 2 to 1, words win, keyboard loses.

Thanks. :P

Edit: Yeah, just keep deleting stuff I quote... Hrmph.

Ich kann auch deutsch sprechen! Meine mama ist aus deutschland, also kann ich es perfect sprechen. (Obwohl ich nicht so toll schreiben kann.)

Fiddles is correct.

Well, yours is the best yet (apart from the Ösi ;)) so yay.

Fiddles is correct.
Yeah, I saw your post. Thanks.

Oops, sorry, i thought cognates are "Sonderzeichen" because on the first site there was something with äöüß so i referred to them as cognates instead of looking the word up in the dictionary.

Diese drei Worte werden nicht oft gesagt.

Juden! Schneil!

Heil!

Halt! Hammerzeit!

Ja. Ich spreche Deutsch aber ich bin nicht gut.

Yeah,thats about it :P

More than enough to get around.

Hey! Many of these could earn you a living in the Hitler Regime!

Bitte schön! ;)

Which is so profitable today, right? :p

All you need to know to survive in Germany is, "Ein Bier, bitte. Danke"

I'd think that after a little while of doing that, "Wo ist die Toilette?" could come in handy.

Like this (http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff60/brentjungclaus/hammerzeit.jpg?t=1196995972)?

:D


Exactly! :D

I can't speak very much German, but I can do this...

SHIZA AFFE DIE GROVEN!!!!

Learn that in your texbooks:D

You'd think in my second year of German that i'd at least be able to mount a reply better then, Ja.

Guess not.

No need. After 10 pints, you'll be slurring your words so much it all comes out German anyway.

(In response to the thread title) Does WHO speak Deutsch? How would I know whether or not "they" (whoever that is) speak Deutsch.

I'm saying this because you didn't capitalize "sie", and "sie", uncapitalized, means "they". (Or "she", depending on the context.) If you meant to say "you", you should capitalize it, i.e. "Sie".

Guten Tag, Herr Barry!

Ja, ich denke du bist Max Barry!

(how do you do umlauts on this damn keyboard??)

Hit the keyboard really hard twice with a sledge hammer. ;)

Ein bisschen.

You're so cute when you speak German.

I edited my keyboard map for that. If you use Linux, I can tell you how.

The Germans are sissies! They started and lost two world wars! (well, technically the Austro-Hungarians started WWI, but who would know such a fact?)

*runs before he can receive retribution*

Actually, Germans are cool, albeit slightly creepy. I mean, Nietzsche. Really, Nietzsche. And Wagner... Silk. *shudders*

You're so cute when you speak German.

Wo ist das Rathaus?

Kann man das Wasser trinken?

Ich moechte ein Kuchen.

Ich glaube nicht.

Zwei Bier bitte.


Just a few of the phrases that have stuck in my head from high school German. :p

German sure isn't too helpful here. Spanish or any asian language does you more good. I took German because it was recommended for chemists (my original major back in college). I didn't end up a chemist or a very good German-speaker, but I enjoyed it anyway. :)
