Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haven't seen you around here for awhile...

yeah, my grandpa lived in iraq for 2 years, before 10 years.. and he told me about that culture pretty much..they write from the right to the left side...and magazines and newspapers begin from the right side....I even had one in my hands.. it looks so funny....and the lettering...it seems soo hard to me..

yeah, I noticed that he does that to me, too..!
I think my parents pay extra money for those channels..
I really don't know why...cause it's the same in every other country i think.....maybe not, I don't know....but I would like to know german....and so all my friends do...
yeah, you canalso have here some private lessons of any language you want...

what..? you mean, you don't have discovery or animal planet or explorer channel..?
the most learned are english and german..and french is the third..then spanish and italian..
I got rtl, rtl 2, viva, national geographic(german), and more but can't remember at the moment..

heh...it happens to me a lot..to find a very good movie on rtl or some other german channel...and then realize that I can't watch it cause of the stupid translation.... I could really smash the tv in those situations... BUT
I'm starting the high school 1st year this september...AND my second language will be German...SO.....

yeah i know,i like the fact that people from learn english movies^^

the german actors who speak ro them are also well chosen. They are very professional actors and it mostly fits perfect. I also know the english voices, sometimes i like em better, somtimes i like the german voices better^^
Often they sound pretty similiar.

you think audio trsnlation is good for cartoons but not for movies?^^
nah.. i prefer enjoying movies without reading subtitles, cause you can't always watch and you miss so muc.. beside, the're just annying.. but i guess we're too spoiled in germany anyway.

well, do you know that the third part of my english i've learned from movies..? I mean, when I hear how they speak and read the word under..I just learn it...and sometimes I watch movies even without any translation....! so that's why you Germans speak weak english....you can't hear it anywhere...! I learned my first english from cartoon network channel...
and have you ever actually heard the brus willis's voice...or johnny depp's? they've chosen exactly those actor not just for their great acting, but the voice....I can't imagine johnny depp with german voice...it's kind of funny to me.....
it's okay to do it for cartoons, but really no need for movies....I even can't imagine elders watching it with audio translation....like they're stupid or sth....

yeap..I think you're right...it is stupid to use retarded for saying you dislike someone....but I guess we don't think when we say that...it is really stupid....
yeah, we usually have the movies with the text translation...and it really annoys me when i see that you Germans have translated the actors' voice... why do you do it..?! it's nice that you've remind me...this is the greatest mistery for me...

hahaha...didn't know about the puff....but I love that cartoon....the only one that's better is two stupid dogs...if you haven't seen it, you must, find it on youtube...
I think it's okay to use the word retarded...I mean, it is a way rude to say to someone that he's retarded, but ...I don't know...we say it all the time in Serbian...and it's almost equal to stupid...a little stronger....don't know...it depends on what kind of person you like....
