A bit ago I had a string of posts about dual-language ( DL) books .... and one I hadn't been able to find was this one ... and amazingly, I've found it ..and very odd it is too ! .... you can imagine the problems it might have set for the translator .....saloons, hosses, "bub", interdooce me, "bucko", buckskin, cowpuncher ... and lots of nicknames ... what fun ! So ...here's an extract from the "Germanised" version ..... have a go at translating it back into the original American/English ..... and I'll show you the "original" for you to compare yours with later on at the bottom of the post....... ...and ...what will the music be ? ..and here's a handy picture to stop the "answer" from being seen too soon ... OK ...here's the "original" English/American story ...... don't worry if you didn't get quite the same thing ....

AuthorLike you, I'm learning German ...and this blog is aimed at others learning it too. There will be standard stuff about grammar, wordplay, speaking, listening... but also challenges, problems, homework, silly stuff, books, films, lots of music, learning strategies, games,puzzles, ideas... you get the idea. The truth is, learning German is tough, so you might as well enjoy yourself along the way.My main aim is for all the stuff on here to be Terrific For Your German. |
