KreuzKirche

Well, recently i have joined the Ultimate Frisbee team here in Saarland. Its an initiative by the University and hence has an air of discipline and seriousness about it, which was missing in Dresden. To develop your game and nurture your talent its sometimes useful to listen to the pros....well it must be good for those who listen to the pros ;) "not talking about myself here". Anyways, the group consists of about 20 people, mostly Germans, and hence comes the question of listening !! Its a good exercise for me to finally test my spoken and heard German...and i would say i am doing quite well....well i get the jist of what they want me to do ;) The only problem i face is when they overestimate me and start speaking very fluent and colloquial German....An example would be...Woher kommst du ? means where do you come from...and the other day someone asked me...wo bist du hier? which means the same, but was quite new to me...so i blabbered on for 5 minutes, answering to...why are you here....finally somebody had to shut me up by bursting my bubble. In any case, the team here is younger and faster...of course i miss the experienced players and their long throws from Dresden, but still i think, based on pure power and passion, my current team has the potential to defeat my mates at Dresden...
