    Could someone please post 10 or so nice german idioms that I could incorporate into my letter?

    Also, could someone post the strong and weak endings?

    Thanks a bunch! :)

    I'll write the phrases in sentences.. so you'll know bout word order etc. just change them around to suit u.

    1. Du hast mich gefragt, wie viele Stunden pro Tag haben. - you asked me how many classes we have each day.

    2. Hoffentlich bleibt das Wetter für uns gut- hopefully the weather will stay good gor us

    3. Jawohl, in der zweirtwn Woche haben wir Ferien - Yes indeed, in the 2nd week we have holidays.

    4. Du hast mich dann nach meinen Geschwistern gefragt - you then asked me about my brothers and sisters

    5. Ich finde es gut, daß du radfährst - i think its good that you cycle

    6. Zuerst willst du etwas über unsere Schule wissen - firstly, you want to know something about school.

    Only useful phrases i can think of. As for endings:

    1. Ich hoffe, daß ich jetzt deine ganzen Fragen beantwortet habe und daß es
    dir gut geht. Grüß deine Eltern von mir!
    Bis bald
    - I hope that i have answered all your questions and that you are well.
    Give your parents my best wishes, see you soon.

    2. Ich hoffe, alle deine Fragen beantwortet zu haben. Wir freuen uns alle auf
    den Besuch. Wir werden viel spaß haben. Grüß deine Eltern und deine
    Freunde von mir.
    Bis bald
    - I hope to have answered all your questions properly. We are all looking
    forward to the visit. We will have lots of fun. Send your parents and
    your friends my best wishes. See you soon.


    I hope this all helps!! Best of luck!:)

    well i suppose ill start mine of with

    Hallo Stefan (or whoever)
    vielen dank fur deinen letzen,wie gehts es dir und deinen familie

    reminds me i really need to go over the letter other than that im fine
    i can never remember to make my nouns start with a capital letter

    im not to worried about the german paper really
    tape is basically always the same but the last section can be hard

    and the reading section is alright just have to concentrate a lot on reading

    writing section is my downfall though though the same stuff seems to come up all the time
