Nice to see some fellow Germans in here! I can't write in German though I can read it!

Uh, you can read it but not write it. Well, anyway, we all can speak and write in English

Why can't you write German?

So you can only read and speak it?

I can read German better than I can write it or speak it. But it's not my native language. My native language is English. I lived in Berlin for nearly two years, but my husband always spoke English to me. I'm trying to do a little bit better... I'm even learning some Allemannische. (That's my husband's real native language.)

LOL, no, it looks like a first grader writing. I left Germany when I was 7 and went to American school ... so I never learned to write it. I always have problems with which words need to be capitalized.

That's how it is for me. I read and speak it better than writing. I moved to Texas when I was 7 and my mom never really even spoke German to me after that. I learned all my German again over the past 3 years. It's funny because when we first came here, my daughter could only speak English - now she speaks German better than me! You gotta love the German kindergarten

What is Allemannische? My mother is from Ostfriesland and speaks plattdeutsch.
