German-to-English

Haha, I just had a very funny experience. I've been wanting to read some of Andrea1984's LMM fanfics for quite a while now, only they are all in German, and I know practically nothing of that language. So, I figured out how to copy them to Word and then translate them; the only problem is that it is (I think) a word-for-word translation, which comes out VERY funny. You can pick up the general gist of the story, but the sentence structure and grammar is totally mangled. Anyway, the stories are interesting enough that I'll probably keep at them, but I'll have to do them in small doses. I suppose it'll be good for my language skills, if nothing else!
