Greandal’s menagerie…

It’s funny because it’s real. LOL

Always jarring when one learns something like this about someone that doesn’t fit the mental image we’ve created.

There’s a disclaimer in there somewhere that says “Cornelius is not a faith healer just a single man who likes attention.” :joy:

The first part I pulled from my course. The second part I google translated and was hoping to say “I prefer my gods to be less expensive.”

Still way too advanced for me.

Okay, so number one is either “das kostet zu viel” or “das ist zu teuer” and number two would be “ich bevorzuge götter, die nicht ganz so teuer sind” or “ich bevorzuge götter, die günstiger sind”.

and now say it in front of the mirror, several times :smiley:

Coming from an Anglo German is a very weird language.

Really what I need is stuff like “guten abend. Ich heiße Auslander. Wie heißen sie, Freut mich sehr. Ist deine beruft interessant?”

Or

Kellner die schnitzel ist kalt und zie kartoffel ist zu Klein.

Ich spreche kein deutsch aber spreche English und french (whatever French is in German.)

I’m just starting to put together simple sentences so it would make sense I’m still terrible. It’s slow going.

I couldn’t say er ist zu teuer? He is too expensive. No good?

in this case nobody would say it like this, because it’s the thing itself that is too expensive. you would say it like this if you compare two or more plumbers or something. i don’t know how to explain better… i need to think about it.
