Another one from Germany...

Hey there!

As the title implies, I'm German so please don't blame me for mistakes (especially comma placement. I just don't get it x.x)
I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say in the next lines. Good luck with that :D

I'm 16 years old, attend high school (11th grade) and just realized that talking English is much easier than writing it. So I'll try not to write as much as I'd do usually.
My hobbies are reading (/reading manga), playing computer games and watching anime/ videos on YouTube (far too much. Definitely.) Besides I've been playing table tennis in a club for... almost 7 years, I think.

I started watching Sherlock because two of my friends were talking about it really much an I thought "Well, I watched 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' with Jeremy Brett an I liked it, so why not?"
So I started watching (and loving) it. Especially Moriarty (also called "my little psychopath"). I started to love Andrew Scott as well (I'm sure there's no conection between loving him and loving Jim Moriarty. Really. :D), I think he is a brilliant actor and an really adorable person :3

Also, I'm very grateful to this series because I watched a Wholock-crossover (more or less by accident) which made me watch Doctor Who. Now this is my absolutely favourite TV serial. Sorry, Sherlock is only the second. Don't blame me! :S

Yeah... I think that's enough about me and my English-"skills" (please tell me the biggest mistakes I make so I can improve myself :D), so...

Bye



P.S: For some reason, "enemy", "indeed" and "absolutely" are my favourite words in the English language. I just love to pronounce them. Call me strange

Re: Another one from Germany...

Hallöchen :-)!

Welcome to the forum, Moonatic! Which area in Germany are you from? Do you have English advanced courses? Well, I hope you'll enjoy hanging around and taking part in our discussions.
By the way, comma placement in English is a mystery to me as well ...

Hi, warm welcome and enjoy 

Don't worry - do you know what? Sometimes native speakers' English is even worse

Hallo and welcome to the forum, Moonatic!
Don't worry about your grammar. And guess what, we're also having a little "Doctor Who" thread here: http://sherlock.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=25

Re: Another one from Germany...

@kornmuhme

(Ok, mit Leuten aus Deutschland auf Englisch schreiben fühlt sich komisch an :D)

Thanks :D
I'm from Saxony (best accent xD). No, just the basic course (it took me a while to make the decision between history and English advanced course), but my school year just started today so I don't think there is a big difference right now :D

Yeah, I hope so, too
But my activity in forums always (ok, there were just one or two I was registered :D) tends to decrease constantly. I hope i'll manage to fix that now. Keep your fingers crossed!

Oh, it feels good to know that I'm not the only one


@ Harriet

Haha thanks
Everything's fine as long as people undertand me basically :D


@ SolarSystem

Thanks
Sounds good, I'll check it out

Welcome, Moonatic, nice to have you here. I like Dr Who very much although Sherlock still has a special place in my heart.

Hi from Australia! Don't worry, your English is fine, better indeed than many Australians who have English as their first language Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of Doctor Who fans here, so I'm sure you'll feel right at home

@ all of you
Thank you for the nice words, I'm sure that I'll have a great time here.

Absolutely, it's a real shame. If it hadn't been for Sherlock and Moffat, I never would have started to watch "Doctor Who"... gosh, what a creepy thought!

Willkommen! Hello and welcome to the forum. Your English is fine and your adoration of all things Andrew Scott is perfectly understandable.

Re: Another one from Germany...

Wish I could have answered earlier, but even if it's only the second school week it's already like "Please do these 10 homeworks until tomorrow. Have fun!"

@ SolarSystem
That's indeed a creepy thougt :o
So, thanks to Sherlock! ... again!

@ Davina
It's still good to hear that my English is understandable ;)
Yeah... I just love him. I really do.
