"Entschuldigung" (pronounced pretty much as it looks, ent-SHOOL-dee-goong) is "I'm sorry ( ... )

I'm going to REALLY work on my German for my next trip and I think this proves a phrase book that spells it out phonetically would be the best bet.

I think RingCon was two weeks after FilkContinental -- which is a little long for me to be away from home and stay married. *g*

It was one week after, but we forgive you ;-))

Am glad to be forgiven! :)

I've heard that some of the little handheld devices are good and give accurate pronunciations. I've seen a couple but don't remember what the makes were.

Srsly, if you're coming over we'd all love to see you at a filkcon. Ones coming up are:

UK filkcon, Friday 4th to Sunday 6th February 2011
DFDF (Germany), Friday 27th to Sunday 29th May 2011
FilkContinental, details not yet announced but probably beginning of October

I don't know if they are anywhere near your schedule, but just in case...

Unfortunately, until I shift my deadline around a bit, December to the middle of February are out for cons... which would have made this year's UK con doable except I'm going to LA that weekend. sigh Maybe next year.

You're going to be in L.A? Funny enough, so am I. :). Any chance to say hello?
