some of you were so kind as to tell me where you have got those beautiful smilies from <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Sehr glücklich" /> .

I followed the instructions and was able to copy some of them. I was also able to transfer
them to the Messenger-Board. Now my computer is loaded with those cute little things .... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Mit den Augen rollen" />
However, I don't seem to be able to copy them into this Forum. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Mit den Augen rollen" />

Can somebody help me, please? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Weinen" />

Hi Joker,

you can't upload them from your C drive. In order to use them here you need to upload them on the Internet, e.g. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href=" www.photobucket.com "> www.photobucket.com and use the IMG tag from there.

Your can find massive amounts of smilies on <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href=" www.clicksmilies.de/ "> www.clicksmilies.de/ or www.my-smileys.de/ "> www.my-smileys.de/ If you want to use smilies from one of these pages just click on the smiley and copy/paste the code provided at the bottom of the screen.

Hi all,

maybe we should go back to our topic.
Is there anybody here, can remember what it was? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Verlegen" />

I think it was "how to torture teachers?" or something like this. [img:3ceq6yh3]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/boese/img/029&#46;gif[/img:3ceq6yh3]

No, not really? What a shame. [img:3ceq6yh3]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/traurig/img/007&#46;gif[/img:3ceq6yh3]
Then let´s start amass good ideas for another subject we could talk about to train our english-knowledges. [img:3ceq6yh3]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/verschiedene/11&#46;gif[/img:3ceq6yh3]

Hi,
How about a real challenge to test your English pronunciation?

[b:1iwi8apg]STEP 1:[/b:1iwi8apg]
[i:1iwi8apg]Here’s a nice German sentence:[/i:1iwi8apg]

[i:1iwi8apg]„Drei Hexen schauen sich drei Swatch Uhren an. Welche Hexe schaut welche Swatch Uhr an?“[/i:1iwi8apg]

Try to pronounce it in [b:1iwi8apg]fluent[/b:1iwi8apg] English:

[size=150:1iwi8apg]“Three witches watch three Swatch watches. Which witch watches which swatch watch? “[/size:1iwi8apg]

[b:1iwi8apg]STEP 2:[/b:1iwi8apg]
[i:1iwi8apg]It’s getting just a little bit more difficult now:

„Drei geschlechtsumgewandelte Hexen schauen sich drei Swatch Uhrenknöpfe an. Welche geschlechtsumgewandelte Hexe schaut sich welchen Swatch Uhrenknopf an?“[/i:1iwi8apg]

And in English:

[size=150:1iwi8apg]“Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches. Which switched witch watches which Swatch watch switch?”[/size:1iwi8apg]

[b:1iwi8apg]STEP 3 (and very close to insanity!):[/b:1iwi8apg]
[i:1iwi8apg]You will only master the next one if you’re really, really good!

„Drei Schweizer Hexenschlampen, die sich wünschen geschlechtsumgewandelte Schweizer Hexenschlampen zu sein, möchten sich drei Schweizer Swatch Uhrenknöpfe anschauen. Welche Schweizer Hexenschlampe, die sich wünscht, eine geschlechtsumgewandelte Schweizer Hexenschlampe zu sein, möchte sich welche Schweizer Swatch Uhrenknöpfe anschauen?“[/i:1iwi8apg]

If this runs smoothly from your tongue, you’re better than most native speakers!!!

[size=150:1iwi8apg]Three Swiss witch-bitches, which wish to be switched Swiss witch-bitches, wish to watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches. Which Swiss witch-bitch which wishes to be a switched Swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which Swiss Swatch watch switch?[/size:1iwi8apg]

When you're finished, just untwist your tongue and take a wee dram of a fine old malt.

Greetings,
Peter

My God, yeah - I already knew that one - but it still takes a looong time to get my poor tongue untwisted afterwards. I think we should stick to Macbeth's witches - they're talking a little less complicated... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Winken" />
