Question, are you interested in Germany?

XD

Have you seen Band Of Brothers?

Waaaayul, in case you haven't I'll do a bit of pimping here, because I think you'd really enjoy it.

It's an HBO mini series (10 episodes) about Easy Company, a company of paratroopers who fought in WWII. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Here's a trailer...

And here's the first ten minutes of the first episode, just to get a wee bit of preview (unfortunately the opening credits are like 2 minutes of bad photoshop tricks)...

You can see the whole thing on youtube or streaming online, but if you haven't seen it yet and are interested, I'd suggest downloading a dvd rip from a torrent or something. It's a beautiful show, and there are so many characters it's nearly impossible to keep them straight at first regularly, but even harder watching a small, crappy quality version.

Ooh, I haven't seen it yet but will definitely look into it!

I've been getting into a lot of German WWII research with my character heil_hans

I liked Scheisse! "Die sau rauslassen..."

Hello there =)

I'm enjoying it so far!

That first one sounds like a book my high school French teacher had (except hers was obviously called Merde). I think it's awesome that you're learning German; my dad tried teaching me when I was really little, but I don't think he was fluent in the first place and we've both forgotten most of it since. I'd like to try learning it again someday, but not until I get French down because trying two languages at once sounds like it would get confusing.
