do you know I have the feeling it improves from day to day?

Do you think "talking" to all of us on DC helps?

 

[cara]

I think so.... at least with the cooking vocabulary... ;o))
Can you imagine that after an evening here at DC's I even think and talk english with Frank?

 

[pdswife]

Does Frank speak English too?

 

[Piccolina]

Does Frank like hanging out with you on DC?

 

[cara]

yes his english is as good as mine even if he`s a bit more technical... he trades Used farming equipment...
DO you know he is the only german speaking in his little group?

 

[Piccolina]

Does he wish that he had other German speakers there to talk to?

did you know i know some German?

 

[pdswife]

Did you know that my father is half German and that makes me 1/4 German?

 

[Barbara L]

Do you know that I'm half German and half Swedish? And do you know I always say I'm backwards because I'm half Swedish and don't like coffee and half German and don't like beer?!

Can you believethat I'm 100% Southern and hate Sweet Potatoes? AND Pecan Pie??

[Piccolina]

Do you know that the best pecan pie I've ever had was made by my second cousin's wife, and neither of them are southern?

do you know it`s snowing over here in Hannover?

 

[TXguy]

Speaking of snow... how would I know that the two days after Christmas were going to be in the 80's???

 

[cara]

can you imagine, without my conversionside I had no idea what 80s are? We just have centigrades over here....

 

[Piccolina]

Do you know that in Canada, some of us have a tendancy to use "C" temps when it's cold (such as saying, "burrrrr it's -10 out there") and "F" temps when it's hot (like, "wow, can you believe that it got up to 102 degrees today?"). Do you think that people in other countries do that too?

 

[cara]

hmm... that sounds difficult....
you have to know both... Could you manage that?

 

[Piccolina]

I sort of grew up with both so it's fine for me, though it might take me a sec to give an exact conversion off the top of my head. It's funny too because I sometimes work in inches and sometimes in centimetres. And when it comes to cooking, though I'm an eternal fan of measuriing in "cups", I've gotten quite accustomed to cooking in "grams" too. What do you use in Germany, cups or grams? (or something else?)

 

[cara]

usually we have grams... but I know baking racipes working with cups...
don`t you think, it`s easier to measure if you just take a cup?
