I have yet to meet one person that speaks without ersm ahsm uhms... Even politicians have them included in the (memorized) script to sound natural - how about that!

The competition has now closed and we're awaiting the official announcement from the Goethe Institue to read who won. A big thank you to everyone who voted, your support has been overwhelming. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you, Richard! :) Edited by Teango on 24 July 2012 at 5:33pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Is anyone else anxious for the Goethe Institute to finally make their announcement?

I might have! Spoonerisms, malapropisms and general malarkey were the norm ..... We then found bullsh*t bingo: you were given 5 words or phrases any you weave them into the narrative..... Or the first letter of each sentence spells out a rude word ..... I know it's childish but was fun at the time. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

They have now made the announcement, and Torbyrne is now officially their Ambassador of Multilingualism. Congratulations to him, and thanks to all who supported him on his well-deserved success. [EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that Torbyrne has also announced his success in another thread] Edited by Splog on 25 July 2012 at 9:11am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

It is a good thing that that conference gets an exceptionally well qualified person to deliver a speech, but the question is whether the rest of the conference can live up to his standard. The setup of the competition and their low-content homepage don't look too promising - Torbyrne will in all likelihood be the most qualified participant there.
