Hey folks,

Got some German text I would like translated into English. Would prefer a human to do the translation instead of a computer. So, does anyone know German very well who could translate a couple of paragraphs for me?

It's English but slower and louder. Same as any other foreign language.

How the fuck can you be bilingual and yet be that rubbish at German? If you speak English and Dutch you're 3/4 of the way there already!

You overrestimate teeds' lack of motivation by quite some margin.

My man Chilly is authorized to speak for me in all matters of motivation. Thank you Chilly :)


I can fluently read, write and converse in English and Dutch. I can understand spoken German, French and Spanish (though I often find myself speaking Spanish when confronted with a French speaking person and vice versa. I used to speak Indonesian fluently (Bahasa Indonesia), and I know a word or two of Japanese. I can understand some Swedish, Danish and Icelandic written text. That's about it. I learn things in the field, language wise. I tried -and failed miserably- in schools.

Awesome TDC, I'd love to be able to speak other languages, but as I speak English as my first language, there's hardly any point apart from being cool as fuck in any situation.

I was brought up bilingual : English and Indonesian. I'd say that you should challenge yourself and go somewhere on hols where nobody speaks your first language. It's an awesome experience :)

I don't think "awesome" is the word I'd use, having done it a few times. "embarrassing" and "irritating" are more appropriate.

Yeah. I get uncomfortable in Holland when some Dutchy speaks to me in their stupid language and I have to say "Sorry I don't speak Dutch" back to them in English. And as they're Dutch they all speak fucking English better than Job does. Cringe.

Please piss off to where the rest of the British tourists go then.. Sorry to say, but you are by far the most obnoxious people when you go traveling, regardless of the destination

Just say: "Ik versta er geen kut van jonge, ik ben Engels" either they'll laugh and start chatting to you in English or the will get very offended and smack you

I could say that, but it would probably sound like something completely different to said Dutchy. Despite being Germanic, Dutch is much harder for us Englanders to pronounce than say German, where it's pretty obvious what sound is what.

What's the context of the text?

I have a few mates - native German speakers - that might be able to help.

You've clearly never met Israeli travellers. And the "embarrassing" part is down to my lack of language skills, as is the "irritating" part

and you're a travelled man as well. and not stupid for that matter. assuming your comment is negatively tinged that is. my experiences in countries where I had not a clue what the other party was on about were mostly super positive and super great. my most negative experiences have been in England, Holland and New Zealand, though the latter was as a third party when the camper rental dude tried to scam us.

you're just vexed they don't spot you for a filthy island dweller on sight :-P

you're so fucking gay for new kids it's just scary :(

oh ye gods spare me from the fucking Israelis. They nose out the Austrians for the first place in people you don't want to be anywhere near while travelling. Though a good mate fucked his way across Oz with two Israeli girls so at least some of them must be decent.
Also, I retract my comment made above and put that I should have indeed known better. Sorry.

no. but when you think about it, rather a lot of so called straight porn is just blokes dicks flopping all over the screen.
I tend to mentally phase those moments out Chillzor. To the point they don't even register. Unlike you it seems ;-)

I tend to find Israelis are fine on their own, terrible in groups. Funnily enough the only person I've met on my travels who I instantly wanted to punch the head off was Austrian...
