Was ist ein "GSCE"? Ich bin ein Amerikaner und weiss nicht was das meint. Ist es wie unsere AP, wo es ist wie ein Universitaet Klasse die in ein gymnasium ist?Phobia wrote:hey, im doing my GCSE german (and french) this june and its a scary thought! i seriously dont recommend taking two languages, its just a little too much!

yeah, GCSE's are the compulsory exams you have to take at 16, then you have an option to go on to 6th form, college, etc and do A-levels or equivalent for two years, then you can go to university at 18 (or take a gap year).Mylittlepuddykat wrote:GCSE is the exam you take when your in Y11 or 5th Year or 16. V.important cos you can leave school with them and they affect the rest of your life.

thanks, i'm pretty ignorant about the UK education system, here the closest thing to that are SATs and SAT IIs (subject tests). Even AP tests don't matter all that much since not every school offers AP courses anyway. Colleges just care what grade you get in the class and what level of the class you're taking.

Tag Puddy,Mylittlepuddykat wrote: mmm but woldnt keine mean none, I do speak some so i meant to use little - kleine.
Yes, keine means "none", but kleine means "small" not a little bit. Ein bischen means "a little bit"
So you were saying you speak "small German" not "a little German".
Ich kann ein bischen Deutsch.
Ich auch spreche ein bissen Deutsch.
Ich erlerne auf meinen Selbst, aber ich bin zur Abenschule auch gegangen.
Wenn ich nicht sicher bin, benutze ich Babelfish.
I have a pronunciation question:
Ich auch. My night school teacher was from Austria and I remember learning the "ch" sound as a hard sound that I can't think of a comparison in English for. But, on some tapes I've listened to it comes out "Ish aush". Any thoughts? Is this just a regional thing?

I'm no expert here, but different regions have their own accents and dialects. Austria and Bavaria being very different from the others.Mjolnirs wrote:Ich auch spreche ein bissen Deutsch.
