Thank you for saying "your German is at least better than the German of any
average American." Perhaps it is because I am not an average American, but
an above-average English man (married to a German wife)!
I am learning German so that I can talk to my wife's family (or rather,
the few of them who did not quite manage to learn English before leaving
school!). Hopefully, I will manage to learn German before my nephews and
neices learn English, and they'll then want to practice it on me!
> And whats more important: I exactly understood what you are asking for.
Because you already own ALL of it!!!??? ;-) (I think I have seen your
"Sets owned" page on LUGnet!!)
As for fleamarkets, the same is so in England. The best thing is to arrive
EARLY (0700hrs), I find - or would you say that even THAT is pointless?
My sister-in-law said she saw lots of adverts in local newspapers. Is this
a good idea?
I shall certainly look at 1000steine. I hope it is okay to post in English?
I shall also print out your email and take it with me to Germany, along with
a map of all the "Vedes".
Robert
