Youthblog auf Deutsch
Those of you who know me (Hi) will know that I've been learning German from a book called "German in three Months" .... those who know me well will know that I've been learning German from said book for thirteen years now, as you can perhaps tell from the dog-eared state of it!
I'd love to know more about the youth work/ministry scene in Germany so I was unbelievably chuffed to find someone's been reading Youthblog in German! Check it out!
Bloggable bit though: I really want to take a party of youth workers to the Kirchentag (Massive Christian festival, really massive) and to hook up with some German Youth Ministry. If anyone has any contacts out there could they let me know AND in the hope my German visitor calls again:
Hallo von Herr Youthblog, wilkommen nach mein blog! Konnen wir sprechen bitte?

I seem to remember you learnign German by watching DVDs with the sound in German and withthe subtitles in English or the other way round. Top Gun... as I recall!

yep, it's true. Toy Story in German is a current favourite. Good fun but I then know some bizzare lines that are difficult to work into conversation :-)

Wow! How cool to have your work translated?! Even if it is off Google. (Sorry - don't mean to take the wind out of your cybersails.) Very exciting. Having been recently reading lots of English translations of work by German philosophers, I can't help but feel that you have made a very important step in the world of the Written Thought. Though I haven't quite worked out what that step is.
