    My Blog – An Experiment

    I’ve struggled for ages with whether “my word is worthwhile” to be told. Not the best pitch for a blog.

    Hitting publish, I’m still in two minds.

    My readers will decide.

    The posts are meant to stir it up.

    To spark your thoughts. I think I can.

    I publish both in English and German. German’s my mother tongue. Home advantage.

    In my first foreign language I might have some false friends. Years of practice notwithstanding. Might sound a bit “Herman ze German” at times. Beer Bear with me.

    “I’ll do my very best” to properly transcreate for international readers. Not quite there yet. But on my way.

    My CAE examiners once advised: “Choose British or American. Then stick with it.”

    The other day, a native-English colleague disclosed: “You should have been a Brit.”

    Fair enough. British it is.

    This is how you read my blog. With a sly smile and a pinch of British humour in mind.

    Enjoy! I’d love to read hear your thoughts.
