I'm speaking German, obwohl ich englisch spreche, (although I'm speaking English)

My native language is US English, aber ich möchte, dass es so klingt, als würde ich deutsch sprechen (but I want it to sound like I'm speaking German)

So, I want your help, kannst du mir sagen wie das geht (can you tell me how to do this)

Put the English in parenthesis, das sollte reichen (that should do the trick)

Each and every time, ja, es muss perfekt sein (yes, it has to be perfect)

Are you sure that's not a little over the top, nein, sei nicht so ein Klumpen (no, don't be such a clot)

Keep you hair on, I was only asking, idiot, meinst du damit, dass ich eine Perücke trage? (idiot, are you suggesting I'm wearing a wig?)

I'm lost for words, warum, wo sind sie hin? (why, where have they gone)

Now I think you are taking the p***, aber du sagst, dass wir Deutschen keinen Humor haben (but you say that we Germans don't have a sense of humor)

Got me there, nein, du hast alles alleine gemacht (no you did it all by yourself)

Got to say this has been fun, das ist das problem, man kann nichts ernst nehmen (that's the problem, you can't take anything seriously)

Einstein sagte, dass Sie dasselbe Ergebnis erzielen, wenn Sie dasselbe tun, und wir sagen dasselbe über Sie Amerikaner (Einstein said you get the same result, if you do the same thing, and we say the same thing about you Americans)

Really, is that the best you can do, ja, wir haben versucht, es für Sie einfach zu halten (yes, we tried to keep it simple for you)

Mann, das wird nicht geplant (man, this is not going to plan)

All I wanted to do, was to send you a gift, aber warum (but why)

Nicht viele Leute schätzen meine Akrostichon-Poesie, (not many people appreciate my acrostic poetry)

Footnote: This Christmas gift, is dedicated to Jane (JaneQuill28), for her appreciation of my acrostic poetry, which doesn't come any more ridiculous than this.
