German lessons

That's the only news we're getting now. Yeah, it's terrible. My mom was telling me she wouldn't want to visit there, since I've always wanted to go there.

The same with my mom. She was calling me yesterday and she was very worried, because I wanted to go there in summer, but ..."

Thank goodness you weren't there. I wanted to go in the summer time too. It would've been a coincidence if we met and didn't know.

It really would be a coincidence ... Japan is big. At least bigger than Germany ...

Posts : 697 Join date : 2010-09-17 Location : Everywhere

10% smaller than California. I always thought Japan was smaller...

It´s rather small but if you look only at Europe it´s one of the biggest. It doesn´t really matter...

Japan's the only thing we're hearing now. -sighs- I hope this doesn't go any longer. First it was the revolt around the Middle East, now this.

Yes, it´s crazy what´s going on know. And the problem now is that the world is looking at Japan and forgetting about the fight in the Middle East.

Typical. The newest biggest thing gets more attention. Either way, both stories aren't good.

You´re right. The problem is where to interfere first. You need to help Japan, but if you focuse on that it´s getting worse in the Middle East. And if you try to solve the problem there first Japan will have huge problems.

That's true. Shouldn't more countries help out? All I see are Americans trying. And they're not even doing it right. Like, the food they sent to Japan was rice... and something else. No protein. No quality over the food, just quantity. Same thing with Haiti.

It isn´t just the USA. Great Britain, France and Germany also sent their teams to help. The problem is the risk. If you send more teams it´s rather risky then helpful.

Spoke too soon. Yeah, I saw it now. My teacher said it was like 103 countries. It's just that here, they made it seem like only America was helping them. And my teacher said the Japanese are independent, so they didn't feel right getting help from other people.

Really? But in the news they said that Japan has asked Germany immediately after the tsunami for help ... Who know.

Huh. Maybe desperate times called for desperate measures. Not that they were desperate, but the whole independent part. So, why Germay first?

Why do you ask me? I don´t know. Maybe we´ve got good connections .... Smile

Posts : 697 Join date : 2010-09-17 Location : Everywhere

Maybe. Hahah. I was just curious.

Posts : 739 Join date : 2010-11-03

Curious? And you ask me about politics ... Oh dear.

Posts : 697 Join date : 2010-09-17 Location : Everywhere

I know, I'm not a fan of politics either.

Posts : 739 Join date : 2010-11-03

I´m only picking up some pieces through the news or the radio.

Posts : 697 Join date : 2010-09-17 Location : Everywhere

Radio? Been awhile since I've used those...

Posts : 739 Join date : 2010-11-03

Really? Since I always need music I´m using the radio very often.

Posts : 697 Join date : 2010-09-17 Location : Everywhere

I get music off the internet. Especially youtube.

Posts : 739 Join date : 2010-11-03

I only use the internet when I wanna hear new songs they don´t play in the radio or I really love the song and then I listen to it a thousand times ... Smile

The music on our radio is just mainstream stuff. I don't like the type of music they give to us. What do you listen to?
