Hello and welcome :D from Alabama in the U.S.A. This is great site and you will learn so much. The block swaps are great!

Daniela: Welcome to our group. You will learn a great deal of English here. Several dialects. It may look like we all have a problem spelling (which we do), but much of it is code like the younger set uses on the cell phone. :lol:

If you have questions or need help, just ask. We have all been there.

What is your new job? Gwyn in Utah

First off all, thanks a lot for your warm welcome.
My new job is ship superintenden assistance on a worldwide shipping trade called beluga shipping.
I must organize ship repairs and spareparts and surveys all over the world. I do it now since two weeks and every day I learn new vocab. Today I learned the meaning of " it doesn´t matter" ;)

Please correct me if the grammar is wrong

Hallo Daniela,

(Finally someone from Germany. Greetings from the Sacramento region in Northern California. Have fun. If you have questions, I can help you with translation.)

Hello,
Nice to meet you.
Barb

I understood the German and didn't require the translation. :D

I also lived in Heidelberg for 5 years.
