Mind the gap: The very amusing English thread

[Ikezu Sennin]

I withdraw myself duefrom this thread. My English isn't good enough for it.
I'm sorry.

We are here to improve our skills, so there’s no need to withdraw.

Why? I didn´t find a better "translation-machine" than leo.
Can you disabuse me?

BTW: Yeha, i love to speak english, cause i have to improve it

I don't know if www.dict.cc is better, but it's another online-dictionary.

Dict.cc is the best. Leo can't seriously even attempt to beat it.

@all: What are you doing at the moment?

I'm sitting in front of my MBA and learning mathematics It's not so easy to understand how it some definitions works and to imagine it.

I'm sitting in front of my MBA and learning mathematics It's not so easy to understand how it some definitions works and to imagine it.

I am trying to learn for an exam that I have to write tomorrow: "Basic Concepts of ICT" and "Usage and Management of ICT". All kinds of fun stuff like Knowledge Management, Operational Systems, Content Management, Business Intelligence Systems ... I hate it.

 

[vierundvierzig]

God damn it. I've to give a talk tomorrow as a training for my Master thesis defense. In English of course. I did nothing to prepare it the last two days. I hate myself for my procrastination. I guess, this is a serious problem for me

 

[walksunix]

Yeah :-D Learning sucks. But if I learn all over the time so it will be fun
I'm very happy that christmas just comes closer, to celebrate it with my family

 

[BinoMaus]

How do you celebrate christmas?

 

[Bananenbieger]

my MBA

Just a note: MBA is also "Master of Business Administration" which is an academic grade.

 

[Smooky]

Nope, i think he use this one:

And not this one:

[Bananenbieger]

I think he knows that I know that he means the MacBook Air.

"I got my MBA after two years of hard studies at NYU!"

"Really? I got my MBA about 8 days after I ordered it from Apple"

 

[Smooky]

Rofl

Yeah sometimes there are some funny mixups in English for us with German as our native language.

A nice joke: Waitress when I become my steak ? I hope never Sir!

 

[leonaddi]

A nice joke: Waitress when I become my steak ? I hope never Sir!

Oh I remember that one. It was the easiest way my english teacher tought us the difference between "to become" and "to get".

 

[Seogoa]

i think every teacher use this joke to teach the difference between this 2 words.
imo is this joke a great Eselsbrücke

 

[walksunix]

Just a note: MBA is also "Master of Business Administration" which is an academic grade.

If it would mean "Master of Business Administration", so I won't sit in front of this

 

[Bananenbieger]

Eselsbrücke

=mnemonic (I love that word!)

 

[der.flops]

I can not decide, which of your lines is the funniest one,
"Mr.Makin'curves into Bananas" a.k.a."Bananenbieger":

I think he knows that I know that he means the MacBook Air.

"I got my MBA after two years of hard studies at NYU!"

"Really? I got my MBA about 8 days after I ordered it from Apple"

I think that you think, that she should have thought a bit more about what he said after thinking about what "the person who drives him to where ever he wants"(i cannot even spell the word in german or french or whatever Chauffeur?)

After all a nice thread and wouldn't it be very amusing, being quoted in an original english forum.-For example when someone googles for "Mac help support english" - and arrives on this page of onor and glorious dingsbums-Aussrpache- then I think, he will get a circleruntogetherbreak because of laughing or because of crying:-D..

Have a nice restday or something similar!
