Guten Tag! I've been teaching myself German for the last month or so, and I was hoping that someone here may assist me if I run into any problems or have any questions. Sentence structure seems to be the most difficult concept for me to understand. Tenses seem to be tough at times as well. So with that being said, anyone here that might be interested in assisting me. I can just PM you with any questions I may have, and just respond on your own time. Thanks.

sincerely,
Justin

 

no problem. I will check my PM from time to time...

Harry

 

thank you. I'm so excited. So how did you learn English?

 

in school. Its some kind of compulsory subject here from second grade on.

 

speak fluent German?

Ich kann fliesend Deutsches Bier trinken, reicht das auch?

 

I speak German for work on daily basis. 7 years of school training...

Bring it on

 

me, too.......FAAFFFAFAFA FAFAFAFAF FAFAFAFAA fafa....

 

Das ist ja wohl kaum ein problem: Deutsches Bier ist ja nur halb so stark wie richtiges (=belgisches) Bier. Die meisten schmecken auch noch wie Spülwasser...

 

My German improves with a few Belgian beers

 

Achja, Heinn-hikken, und so...

 

My german is worth 3years of grammarschool, but that was some 12years ago.

strong belian beer???
shure!
like this FINE english beer n stuff

 

You obviously don't know **** about beer. There's NO german beer that can even come close to Belgian ones. My father in law (a german) actually had to admit that ours is better and he regulary gets belgian beer now. Actually, apart from "pils" (or lager in english) germans don't brew much anyway. Usually a German pils has around 4°, where our jupiler (together with Stella the best sold) has 5.2 already. Ones you start with special beers (aka: real beer, pils is just limonade with alcohol) germany hasn't got ANTYTHING to offer.
Actually: there just was a world wide vote, and indeed, the best beer in the world is a Belgian one. (West Vletteren 12).
If you'd drink our beers in half-litres (as do Germans) you'd be dead drunk in seconds.
Name me one decent german beer that can compete with ours...
I bet you never had a Trappist in your life. So don't start talking about beer mate.
Ask my Danish friends, they tasted some of the Belgian stuff. And that was only a limited test.

 

wow this beer question get realy close to you...
its a question of taste in our countries
if you let the would vote heineken would win (beer+water=heineken)

you think ya beer`s the best and i think our beer is the greatest
thats ok

sheers dude!

 

Youre right Bart(Rotary Emotions) is a frigging drunk

Do you know that the similarity between Heineken and having sex in a canoe is?


















******* close to water...

BTW isnt Heineken Dutch????

 

I am ashame to say yes

I even consider (european) Budweiser better than Heineken

 

Real Budweiser (aka European budweiser) is pretty good actually. Due to the Americans being more powerfull (the firm, not the beer) european (Czech) budweiser isn't very well known. As for Heineken, well... it's the perfect proof marketing is everything.
But I still would advise you guys to test our beer, before you judge. Saying we don't have strong beer is simply stupid, and shows you didn't test too many.
Oh, and for the beer thing getting close to me: Beer's me other passion. Not drinking liters of it, but trying many styles and collecting the bottle of each I tried. By now I have some 10 or more banana-boxes full, each bottle a different taste, 95% Belgian. So you could say I do know a few things about beer.
Or as Kim stated

 

ok the beer question should be done
lets get to something stronger:

what about liquor
absinth or jägermeister?

 

I love Jägermeister, **** I would even paint 1 0ld 7 orange, thats some good ****...
Absinthe is just sick, its absolutely just for getting fucked up, the real stuff brewed on cannabis and wormwood is sure to **** up your weekend for good

 

You can't even quantify a statement like that. Germany has over 1200 breweries. Since your beer collection is 95% Belgian, how many German beers have you actually tried, that you can state as a fact that NO German beer can compete.

I think that is very narrow minded and you are too 'territorial' in your thinking. I will give you the fact that even with 1200 breweries, there is not a lot of diversity in German brewing practices

Also, as I'm sure you know, a lot of Belgian beers are brewed using many extra ingredients (fruit for the lambic beers like Kriek and various spices like Chouffe etc.) that are generally not used in German beers, since most breweries are still stuck brewing according to the Reinheitsgebot.

It's a difference in brewing philosphy, and a matter of taste. Beer is like art, some like Picasso, some like Warhol

Anyway, our Canadian beer is ****. Lucky I was born in Austria and know what better beer tastes like

you said it!

you know this metallica test with jägermeister?
at tour in europe they tested all liquors
but with jägermeister they had a awfull crash in a club...

"more drinks in your system the harder the fights"
ok luda said that but this sould be written at all jägermeister bottles

 

not much into liquors, but I do like whiskey (good single malts, no us stuff).
Oh, btw, Germany has quite a few more breweries then any country. I believe the Bavarian region already has over 1000. Not too sure about the exact numbers though.
But because of the "rheinheitsgebot" most taste the same, or at least very likewise.
I did try more german beers then those I have collected, but obviously there's more beer in germany then what I tried. My judgment wasn't based on my own experiences only, but on international test-panels esp. the famous Michael Jackson (no, not the singer!) and our own Ben Vinken.
As for my own experiences: I did try some of the more famous ones, and wasn't impressed. None were actually bad, but most lacked that little something. You are right about the difference in philosophy though: where as most belgian breweries (the smaller ones) will try to create a special beer, in germany the main concern is the fact that it has to be possible to drink large amounts. That's not the same as selling large amounts though, since most german breweries are actually rather small.

And to put things clear: I'm not drinking all that much, and wasn't drunk for the last 13 years. That's before people start thinking we are all alcohol-addicts here

 

wer gewußt haben würde, daß mein Thema in ein Gewinde über Biere
umgewandelt worden sein würde

Let me know about my accuracy bitte. Danke
