For about two years. 'Since' is not the same as 'seit' here.
(When I learned German native speakers would constantly correct me for using 'für'
when I should have used 'seit' so I am repaying the favour)
- Borrible 5y agoWhich is great by me, because most native English speaker I met didn't bothered to do me that favour. How else can one improve and pay respect to a foreign language? On the other hand, if they did, it would have been a lot of work.
- bambataa 5y agoJust since you said you are happy to get English tips, you’d say “didn’t bother” there. The past tense is indicated by the “did” in “didn’t”, and so you don’t add the “-ed” to “bother”.
- Borrible 5y agoIt is! No, really! Thank you! I seldom can be bothered to read postings older than a day or so. Which is a bit rude, I think.
- LAC-Tech 5y agoI've said a lot of stuff like "für zwei Jahren" in my time :)
