    I was going to come on here and make some witty comment in German, but then I remembered college was 20 years ago and German 4 was my only D

    That's why there's Google translate.

    Google translate is pretty bad but at least it isn't Bing's version

    If it worked properly it wouldn't be fun to use.

    It's a whole lot better than it once was. I recall telling a gf that "her womanhood was strong like the grip of a chimpanzee" once due to bad translation. I said nothing of the sort but she took it as a compliment nonetheless.

    Kind of like glastonbury festival?

    I don't really know Glastonbury Festival - but from what I see on the website it's with a lot of music, theatre and circus?

    The Tollwood is a kind of "mixed" festival. There are several big tents: some for music, shows, cabaret/comedy, and some for market stalls (but a lot of stalls also are outdoors) where you can buy all kind of things: art, pottery, clothing, honey/mead, instruments, furs and cloth, knives and cutlery, drinking horns, jewelery, Christmas decorations, candles, handmade paper and books... it's so much that it is really difficult to list it all here. And of course there a lot of food stalls where you can buy all kind of things to eat and to drink.

    It is a very nice and very colorful festival. And it is a really good alternative to all the Christmas overload that time of year. And it is also very good for finding presents or just having a stroll around and go "market stall shopping".
    The first time I went there I kind of fell in love with this festival. If only there weren't so many people...
    To my british ears the polish accent sounds most similar to a russian accent, but I work with a load of polish people and I've discovered there is no way to tell them this without offending them. I think I can distinguish a polish accent from a russian one now I've been exposed to polish accents for a while. But then some polish accents sound more german. I'm gonna stop now lol.

    I have no problem distinguishing between Russian and Polish (I learnt Russian once ( a VERY beautiful language!)) but when it comes to differ between other Slavic (?) languages I sometimes am at a loss. Reading is easy, but hearing sometimes makes it very hard.

    Contrary to popular belief not all of Germany is like Bavaria ;) In fact most of us here in northern and western Germany hate everything Bavarian... it's like Bavaria is more like northern Austria rather than southern Germany. ;)

    Oh apologies I did not know . I just like German beer and meant no offense . I have no idea which part my beer comes from .

    Lol the things people call beer these days :wink:

    I also got an invite to the forums from ZOS_KaiSchober. It was entirely in German, even though my account is registered in the US. Used Google Translate to determine that it wasn't spam.

    Just took the invite code from the end of the invitation URL and signed up on the English forums. :)
