Ah, wait a sec. You got a crush on a girl in Germany?

She lives here in the UK, but yes she is German :-)

And you want her to think you're cute because of your attempts of speaking German :lol:

Oh, shouldn't be laughing about it  :sealed:

t.b.h. I think showing the effort to understand the German way will do the job. :-)

Hahahahaha! No, she's pretty much over me now, though I still have hope! I've wanted to learn German for years (Search for an old thread on here called leaning german :-) ) but she gave me the kickstart I needed to actually do it, and I have to say I really enjoy the language!

Well, she can understand the English words you are saying, but, if you want she really understands you, you need to know how things are done in Germany, what the thoughts of Germany are, so to say. You need to understand her 'surroundings'. You need to understand the subtleties, the humour, the cliche's, the sayings, the habits, everything.

You are quite right! But those things can only come by living in Germany, but that's not an option right now! One of my closest friends is German, so he is able to give me some insight into the culture, though he is less keen on putting up with my bad German speech :-)

Ach Du Liebe Zeit! Warum hast Du Dich für das harte Deutsch entschieden...? Nah gut. Als Du keine Lust mehr hast um noch weiter in dieser Sprache mit den Leuten zu reden, kannst Du immer noch auf Holländisch umsteigen. Die Sprachen sind einander ziemlich ähnlich, and da Du schon gelernt haben sollte wie man das Geräusch des harten 'g' produziert, sollteste Du auch keine Probleme mit Wörtern wie 'Scheveningen' haben. Aber Vorsicht: trotz der engen Verwandschaft gibt es einige Äußerungen die nicht ähnlich sind!
