I am from South Africa, Durban coastal area. From living next to the sea, I now live in a little cow town in Switzerland. Nice to find friendly places on the internet to have "conversations" in mother tongue. My german is improving now, after 3 years and persevering with formal lessons. Problem is in finding conversational outlets to practice my new language skills, so I still think in english.
