No better time to be starting a blog of your own than when you actually should be sweating over a by now three months overdue paper.
Nothing's decided yet: Will I be writing in English, it being the language I love and surround myself with by choice and also that of quite a few of my friends who wouldn't be able to follow me in German? Or should I write in German on account of it a) running less risk of "ah, how pretentious!"- shouts from my German friends, b) being the language of my every-day world and so naturally that of most anecdotes I might want to tell and c) being, why obviously, my mother tongue, the one I don't need a thesaurus for?
Well, I'll see, won't I? I shall very probably do pretty much what I like and switch from here to there depending on what I feel most comfortable with and you'll just have to put up with it or, well, not. At this point I am not so very much concerned with who's going to read any of this stuff. Although, no, that's a lie. I would very much like some people to read what I have to say and sincerely hope that I will have something worthwhile to say, and for you to read, every once in a while. But for now I am happy with just trying something new and seeing how it goes. And maybe getting away from surfing the net a little more...but oh, no, alas! I'm right in the middle of it!
See? Quite contrary, me.
Liebes Mariechen,
AntwortenLöschendas ist ein feiner Zug von Dir, dass Du mein Englisch wieder ein wenig auf Vordermann bringst, zumindest das passive. Bin schwer beeindruckt (für mich klingt das alles very original british) und sehr gespannt auf das, was Du zu sagen hast. Denn in der Regel wird man von Dir gut unterhalten - im Schönen wie im Schmerzhaften (siehe 2. Post).
Sei lieb gedrückt und bis bald am Feleton

Ja, ich geb zu, ich mach das hier auch hauptsächlich, um mein eigenes Englisch mal wieder aufzupolieren. Lange her, dass ich mir wirklich Mühe gegeben hab, was ordentlich auszuformulieren auf Englisch, so mit dickem Pons auf'm Tisch und so...wenn schon nicht die Hausarbeit, dann wenigstens ein bissschen persönliche Fortbildung.
