Hello from Germany!

Hi folks,

I am new in this forum and I admit it drives me crazy, because there are 2 many links here - like everywhere in/on (?) the Internet.

If you want to improve your German language or want to communicate across borders via email, do not hesitate to contact me.

I already have friends in Toronto, L'pool - where I studied English language and international business -, Melbourne and Grand Rapids/USA.

From which English speaking country do you come from?
