julia Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) So after a few weeks of reading posts on this forum without being a member I decided to finally join this forum I'm 18 years old, female, and live in Vienna/Austria/Europe. I've been very active as a child, than spent some years being lazy, and am now trying to become fit. I mostly do running and cycling, but I like almost every kind of sport. I plan on joining a gym this winter and maybe start training with weights then. But we'll see.. Right now I'm more concerned about fitness than building muscles. ATM I'm 130 lbs (59kg), being 5'6" (168 cm). Last autumn I've been up to 145 lbs (65 kg). I want to decrease my body fat a bit and tone my abs and biceps mostly. The pictures of each and every member have been an inspiration to me, and I love to read about training techniques, nutrition etc. So I'm really excited to be here Edited June 19, 2010 by julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julia Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Haha, nope I had no idea that my Swedish is that awful that it would pass as google translate As I said (or at least tried to ).. I don't speak it well (especially in a non-written way), but I understand quite a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjohanx Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Julia that is so cool! Not many non-scandinavians speak our language. Have you been to Sweden or how/why did you learn the language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 naja so billig ist das anschauen leider nicht.. Ausbildung muss ich auch noch hier fertig machen, dann 3 Jahre arbeiten wegen Ausbildungsvertrag, und dann werden wir sehen wo es mich hinverschlägt.. Zumindest besuchen will ich Kanada auf jeden Fall eines Tages! Yep, I know. I've been to Sweden twice (vacation) and tried to learn myself Swedish with books etc. I'm still reading a Swedish book every now and then, but I don't practice it that much any more..

julia Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Aw Thanks for the nice words from everyone! So far I haven't been a good addition, I'm afraid. I haven't shared much useful information, but I plan on sharing some recipes in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 And hello Julia, You did me the honor on my thread so I followed you back. One of the choirs I work with is going to try to sing in the Vokal Total (spelling?) festival in the Summer of 2011 in Austria and I'm trying to work my German up in the meanwhile. I only know a smattering of words from all the Brahms we end up singing, but I'll be working on it formally this coming Fall. It'll be fun to see how it works out in your neck of the woods.

julia Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Oh really? That sounds amazing! If you want to practice your German feel free to write me any time.. I love to help others out with German, although I always lack theoretical knowledge of grammar. So if you don't care about grammatical rules that awful much and just want to learn some conversation, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul B Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hello Julia, Will do, definitely. Both of my parents had some command of the language in their college days, and most of the people in my professional circles can speak a little, but not a ton. I picked up one of those "teach yourself" CD courses which will probably only help me a small amount, but it'll prep me for the fall. I speak more Spanish in addition to English than anything else, and of course the random French, Italian, etc. typical song languages, but German would be great to actually learn instead of just sing. I so far mostly know a bunch of random phrases which are either really sweet or dirty (Brahms and Rammstein are my two biggest teachers... go figure). So, hopefully I'll pick up the regular basics in the meanwhile. I'm sure it's like someone learning English from the Beatles and Tenacious D ... just a little eclectic mix of randomness. In a few weeks I'll try some stuff out on you. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
