Hello @StuF
Yes share away ...
I would love to read more of your work...
Poetry is not as easy as some might think....
Hello @TAB
I have attempted to write poetry over the years and for some reason I seem to be stuck on everything rhyming concept.
Then there is prose which is different again.
I have done some writing also Tab and looking up the definition of prose.
Some of my writing might fall under prose.
Only the experts would know.
I studied 5 years of french and latin and then 1 semester of night school of italian...
too far to drive too tired after full day's work so stopped.
I love languages including english.
These days I get them all muddled up laugh.
Can make interesting conversation ..
Can also receive odd looks from people who actually speak french and or italian fluently..
I love authentic italian food..

Hi @Sophia1 my first German teacher used to say I had an accent and she couldn't quite place it.
I was so flattered. Took me decades to realise what I was coming up with was a mish mash lol. Heard 5 german speakers as a child none of them sounded close to the others

well at least you caught the attention of the german teacher @TAB
I imagine that they have dialects even in Germany...
I can't be bothered with capital letters today..
Then of course some people are naturally lazy in there speech..
then there is slang..
So you probably did know more than the teacher....

When I used to listen I didn't know a word, just sounds. And they All sounded different to one another . One was from Sudentenland, one from Berlin, one Schlesien eg. @Sophia1

Yes there are dialects @Sophia1 some areas even so different are classified as having their own languages. I stayed in Trier w cousins boyfriend who was a local. She had found him an Asterix book in the local 'language'

oh wow @TAB
I am surprised that Asterix was allowed there.
So Trier is close to the border.
Where did you live then if you are able to say?

do you mean where did I stay when I was there ? I was actually there for that long @Sophia1 I stayed in a house share place in Berlin , it was in Kreuzburg, ok names changed now, its the eastern one, near the river, ok right next to Oberbaumbrucke
when I was there , was former East on the other side. Can see from yellow carriages its U bahn not S bahn ok strassebahn or schellbahn in East. was a big train station on east bank of river where all old lines intersected, had to get off one to get on the other
um then I stayed in Hannover , Trier after dropping in to Dusseldorf on the way there and back, then Jerxheim near Wolfenbuttel before getting a lift back to Berlin.I loved the trains there.
