Writing trouble

[jamie15]

Well, it's official. Or, in any case, as far as one can consider these things official. The fact of the matter is though, that I can't write academic papers in German. It's such a slow process I find it agonising to write even a sentence - and even when that one sentence is finally written, most of the time I feel either like a) a five-year-old has

Danke <3

Jaaa, das frustrierende is vor allem, dass ich die Informationen ja alle hab in meinem Kopf - nur wollen die sich irgendwie nicht in einem Satz formulieren lassen D: Ich check echt nicht warum ;_; Vielleicht les ich echt zu viel auf Englisch ... schon tragisch, wenn man zwischen zwei Sprachen gefangen is D:

It may be more work in the long run, but perhaps write out the whole paper in English and then translate it into German?

[jamie15]

Hahaha, to be honest I'd already thought about that xD! If I can't write anything at all tomorrow, I'll definitely resort to that option! But I'd like to try it the "conventional" way at least once more - it does seem easier :).

But thank you <3. If all else fails, I'll definitely go for that!

Sometimes the 'conventional' way isn't always the 'write' way. (Yes, I'm being punny *sigh*) XD

Aww, it's a lovely pun though ;)! And you're absolutely right! Also, writing it in English and then in German is better than having written barely anything at all by the end of the day xD

I think that may be part of it too - the distance I mean. I also find it sooo much easier to express my feelings in English. For example, it's amazing how easy it is to say "I love you" ... but if a situation arises where I need to say the same thing in German I'll try to find every way around it there is. It's so weird :/
