Why aren’t you listening to Hip Hop?

Monday, February 12th, 2007

A couple of days ago I got asked: “Why aren’t you listening to Hip Hop? Everybody’s listening to Hip Hop”. My answer: “Everybody is a Chinese. Why aren’t you a Chinese? Everybody is Chinese!”.

[Thanks David for correcting my mistakes :-P]

Love Poem

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Today we had to write a poem about love in English.. That’s mine ;-):

When my eyes are catching you,
when your smell is coming to my nose,
when my ears are listening to your voice,
then I know, that life is unimagable without you.

When your mind would die, mine would die, too!
You are everything I need and everything I want.

Why I don’t like English at school…

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

I don’t like English at school, because…

1. the teacher only explains the things to do in German
2. I’m unchallenged
3. there are very absurd words to learn: “life line” for example, but nobody can use “yet” or “even” correctly
4. the students talk to less English (means: no English!)
5. the teacher doesn’t correct notable mistakes (”peoples”, “mans”) and doesn’t correct German grammar (”old seamans driving to the sea and the family hopes that they will come back from the sea”)

I think you can learn the best English while talking / writing to people in English, such as from USA, UK or India.

I Do Not Watch Super Bowl!

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

This American, very boring and silly trend is coming to Europe and Germany. Why the hell should I watch the final game without watching the previous games of the season? And I don’t know where to watch this Stone Age game.
