Living the dream boys. I'm officially getting paid to play video games, wander about Germany, eat expensive foods and then write about all of it.

I'm the new journalist for Stars and Stripes. I'll be writing about military related stuff, but they also needed a game reviewer and help with restaurant and travel reviews.

Alas, I am still a fucking moron. I can't find any German classes for beginners around here. Apparently, they exist, but it's like a unicorn. Fabled, often talked about, but never fucking seen

Being a Bills fan is the penance I pay.

What about a tandem? There should be someone who's willing. (If you know what I mean...). Also check this link: http://www.tandempartners.org/ (Just found it, don't know if kosher).

Otherwise post a note at the supermarket blackboard (usually behind the register) that you're looking for some native speaking German for DE-EN exchange. If you offer pay that should be quite easy.

That's an awesome idea. You're the best German now. Milch, sit your Patriot loving ass down

Sounds like a lot of 'Beer Special Issues'. And I assume that GermanGAF might be a good resource - especially if the military requires 'third party testers'.

Hey, anybody want to come with me on a trip or two, dinner is on me. But you have to help me decipher the menu without having to Google every 2nd word...lol

Speaking of which, can anybody link me to a beginners guide to how the country is split up and what it all means. All the ones I've found independently are either in German or assume you know what Rhineland-Palatinate is.

I mean, if you were to teach a fifth grader about the states (shit, are they called states?) and their level of autonomy, etc, what resources would you use?

Nice. I will ask a ton of questions...lol. When my Outlook works again, I'll take a look at my calendar and run some dates at you. I have to have the completed copy in by the 20th and I have some other pieces on the burner, but I'm fairly open.

EDIT: So Bavaria is like the Texas of Germany. Nice. 2nd most populate Bundesland though. Why so much shit talking???

Bavaria is not really part of Germany. It might be on paper, but they're their own little group of people. I don't think any German acknowledges them as Germans. They don't even speak German!

wow, cool. If you ever happen to be in the Würzburg/Bamberg area or just want to visit cool places then send me a message. There's another gaffer who was stationed in Germany (he's US military) who can vouch for me not being a creepy weirdo. He's back in Texas now, though, unfortunately.
