Ich studierte Deutsch vierzig Jahren vor, also ich kann nicht so gut Deutsch schreiben.
hello = hallo
good day = guten Tag(tak)
my name is Volker Finke = ich heiß(ss - like hiss)e(make an a sound) Volker Finke
how are you = wie geht's? (V gayts)
SC Freiburg is the number one in the country = SC Freiburg ist die nummer eins im Land :D
Also, "Volker" would be pronounced "Folk-air" :D
Danke!

I checked my Deutsche Für Amerikanischer textbook dated 1960. "muß" was the proper form back then. ß was proper at the end of words!

(I like to use umlauts and ß.)
To be fair, the question is ambiguous. 'Do You Play Soccer' and 'What Position' are on different lines. 'What Position' could be in reference to any number of topics, many of which may also include 'Midfield' as a possible answer.
I have to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone from Tacoma. Where does one take a German course in T-Town, though? TCC? It's a shame 'The Bavarian' restaurtant got changed into an El Toro.
I know, that's how I learnt too back in school, but some not so bright people felt the desperate urge to change the rule in 1996. Now we have eye candies like "Basssolo" or "Missstimmung".
I took German 40 years ago, so I'm not only out of date, but out of practice.
Danke!

Then you are just another victim of the latest unnecessary and idiotic spelling reform

but both together are unstoppable :p
"muß" is now spelled "muss", ß is exclusivly used after long vowels (e.g. Fußball) or diphthongs (e.g. heißen, außen). You might want to take notes, PSP. :cool:
