Teach German please. That way you can hire me as an aid since I can speak German too. I need a job...

Du kannst Deutsch sprechen? Ich hab das nicht gewissen!

I need to improve it a bit first before I teach it. I want to also study abroad too (German or Austria for one term and then France or Italy for another).

Whoa I need to brush up on it too. I can only translate about 90% of that...the last word evades me...it's right there too on the tip of my tongue! Blast!

"You can speak German? I have the ____ ____!"

The first part is not to be confused with "Kannst du sprechen die Deutsch?" which is "Can you speak German?" the die is optional but I have seen it used fairly often.

I forget if nicht was night or not. Depending on which one it is it changes the way the sentence would be written in english. If it's night it would be "I have the night _____" in which case one could better speculate what that last word means. (Damnit now I'm just deciphering the language).

However if it's not then the sentence could be this, "I have not/haven't the ____."

In which case one could start trying to fill in the blank with the appropriate words and try to make something that makes sense. Like the word patience.

"I have not/haven't the patience!" would make sense but so would other words. Especially since the whole sentence sounds like this. "You can speak German? I haven't the patience!" That does not sound on topic. Especially since you said you needed to brush up on it meaning you already know it so this finish does not work since it implies that you do not know it and are too impatient to learn it.

Best place to go to study it is in Germany. Because the frequent use of pictures to help with the words so you actually learn it like you learned to speak english from your parents with those little picture books. Not to mention the frequent usage of German in Germany would only help to learn it faster and better.

EDIT: I swear to god the word mind keeps popping up...gewissen would mean something similar to mind or mentality. I think it's like concscience. Or however that is spelled.

Wissen is to know (not a person, etc.) Nacht is night. Nicht is not.

And yeah, I know. I'm gonna be taking classes for sure.

On a side note: I'm going to be taking an exam to see if I can join the US Postal Service.

An entrance exam to become a postman? How... strange.

Good luck with whichever route you decide to go down.

Yeah, it is a bi strange, but it's to make sure you're not completely inept as a person.

My guess is that it's all drug tests and protocol training to make sure you don't violate rules and know what they are. Maybe a physical because that pervy doctor wants to shove his hands where they don't belong. Without even buying you dinner first...
