Fun, fun, fun...

Heh! I'm so inspired! Writing in German is actually a relief after having written in English so much. There is a difference between having used a language from the age of three or having learned it around the age of 40. I wish I could find a forum for my Hungarian stuff as well.

Anyway, I've posted the first three short pieces to "The Dragon Wars", or, to be more accurate, "Die Drachenkriege", as this is a German series.

I don't think that these stories are the wonder of the year - for starters, they are old (I started them in 1995 and haven't looked at them much ever since), and I only wrote them for fun. Well, at least they are in my own universe (or one of them), and the canon question won't even surface. *g*

I have to admit, that I find it completely *irritating* to read in German after having read only English stories and books for weeks and months. It feels like a *foreign* language... which is really silly...

Wait a minute! Does it mean that you are actually German? Or am I mixing up things due to all these foreign languages?

But I know what you mean. I haven't read anything in Hungarian for years. Mostly because nowaday's writers and translators are so godawful that reading them hurts my eyes.

Yep, I'm German. You didn't mix anything up ;-)

If I understand correctly, English for me is like German for you -- at least when it comes to the written language -- because I started to learn the language rather early. And English for you is like Italian for me: the third language. I'm not counting Latin, because honestly.... ;-)

Yeah, more or less. We originate from Transylvania, and my grandfather was actually German. So I grew up with the language. I also spent three years in Germany between 1985 and 1988.

I've had Russian in school for ten years, but that's history. I've learnt a little French and Spanish, too, but that's also decades ago and I don't remember anything. And I had three years worth of English lessons - seven years ago.
