@MartinSLewis Only have Virgin fibre here. Used your haggling tips to get double the speed and save £20/month. Used live chat, which is good if you can't/don't like speaking on the phone. Plus gives you thinking time.

Some of my favourite German expressions are:
Ich habe keinen Bock!
Das ist mir Wurst!
Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof.

@LucyMangan It was lovely to meet you and hear about your reading experiences. Looking forward to reading the book.

[AstridKingscote @aekingscote]

Some of the experiences I've enjoyed through speaking German. Berlin, Schwäbisch Gmünd and teaching German to adults. #ShoutOutForGerman

1 of my favourite expressions that I learned in Berlin & reinforced my belief that German is a cool language: ,Der auf Gleis 1 eingefahrene Zug endet hier'. Literally the on platform 1 pulling-in-train terminates here. I thought, 'You can't do that in English!'

@whcps @GI_London1 Prima! Gut geacht!

[AstridKingscote @aekingscote]

@keeps71 @susie_dent If you asked my partner, he would probably say Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche was my favourite German word.

German Brotkultur.
Do you want a roll, a bap, a breadcake or a cob?
In German there are also many names for these, depending on where you live.
I've also had fun discussing this with learners thanks to Meet the Germans:https://t.co/J6KLYAmZiG

I always love teaching my learners compound nouns. Der Krankenwagen, die Krankenschwester, das Krankenhaus. We discuss how this can help with working out word meanings. We also have fun with Bandwurmwörter. Here's a couple of examples:

@MartinSLewis Working in procurement & doing CIPS qualifications, always read the small print and don't lie or miss information for insurance policies. I also learned about my rights as a consumer under the Sale of Goods Act 1979, as amended, and the Supply of Goods & Services Act 1982.

@chrismccausland Congratulations to you and @dbuzz6589. You've been amazing! I'm a mess. Looking forward to seeing your set in Nottingham.

@MartinSLewis I got £175 back recently. Very easy to do. Just make sure they've got up-to-date bank account details for you. My Plan 1 bank account was still down as the one I had as a student!

@cea_forster Jane Eyre and Rebecca are my 2 favourite books. If you enjoy Jane Eyre, I recommend Thornfield Hall by Jane Stubbs. It's told from the point of view of Alice Fairfax and the servants.
