Title: OT: Need help with German
Post by: Amphissa on Monday 21 November 2011, 23:01

I need help understanding a German radio announcer who gives details of the music that was just played. I want to make this recording available in the downloads section, but I want to have correct information about the recording.

If you understand spoken German, could you contact me please? I will send you the BRIEF announcement that I need help with.

Many thanks!

You can try me. M y last German class was more than fifty years ago but I think I'm still good for musical announcements.

I believe Alan Howe is a German instructor.  Or at least he speaks it well enough to translate just about anything (including Helene Raff's bio of her father).  ;D

Since I am German I could help as well, of course.

I might be your best bet - I'm fluent in German and am a freelance translator.

Thank you all for offering your assistance. My sincere appreciation to Britishcomposer, who was able to translate for me. You will soon see a new addition to the German downloads collection!
