The Right have found an angle to scapegoat Muslims for COVID

Youre German

Yeah akhi, I think you could tell from the "th" sounds without me telling that I'm from Germany, it's our achilles-heel

Thank you haha. It is actually. We have the choice between Spanish and German. I took German and Latin. Massive headache.

Oh I see. that's great to hear some Germans have a chip on their shoulder and pretend that French people refuse to speak anything but their language, seems to be generational and also a bit of an exaggeration. I learned French for 3 years but don't quote me on anything I tend to forget languages quickly

First thing tomorrow. I can't do it today I'll butcher german

I'm looking forward to it sxb you will do your old username justice

I noticed there was decent sized Somali community when I went to Berlin. Impressive.

For some reason obscure diaspora are exciting.

for me it's the other way around, I admire the countries with larger Somali diaspora communities, y'all have it so good that you don't even realise it sometimes. Tbh it's a blessing to be a recognisable community, you feel more at home/established even though you are abroad I guess.

Du kannst ehrlich gesagt noch gut auf Deutsch schreiben dafür, dass du für so kurze Zeit die Sprache gelernt hast .
In realité ta (ton?) allemande est trés bien. J'ai oubliée tous le français que est-ce que j'ai aprendré a l'êcole. Leider fast alles vergessen. But I want to read a short story called L'enfant de Noé which is published by Reclam and they have good annotations and translations in the footnotes.

Sxb this was really good wallahi I expected nothing less from someone speaking Danish , challenge us with your diaspora language if you don't mind lol

I guess you are right with this, it's always greener lol.
Most aren't tbh, they just mind their day to day lives, of course some are easier drawn into a certain lifestyle be it because of their socio-economic background or other reasons but it is not a majority or a noticeable section. We also have a lot of newcomers so it's a mixed bag here from what I can tell

Thx walaal I most definitely will ask for help, especially in terms of literature tips for beginners (intermediates in the future). For me It would be sad not to maintain the level I spoke back in school, at least for small conversations when travelling etc.

Do you know of Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran? It's a short novel by the same author about a jewish kid in the second world-war.
I found it by chance as a give-away alongside a hardcover version of the Godfather novel by Puzo (German translation) and I thought it would be a great way to refresh my memory, lucky day ngl
