    German translation
    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if someone could help me write a letter in german. I know basic german, but I need some help to sound a little more professional, my command of the german language still isn't "tip-top"! So I need to write a letter to my teachers, asking them for homework, and what I can do to catch up on assignments and lessons that I have missed!
    If anyone has any ideas please help!

    So far I have,

    Lieber Herr..
    Da ich diese Woche nicht dabei sein könnte, wollte ich Ihnen fragen ob es Hausaufgaben oder sonst noch was gibt, die ich nacharbeiten soll. Wenn so, dann könnten Sie mir diese Unterlagen bitte par e-mail schicken oder an der Sekretariat lassen, damit ich Sie heute nachmittag abholen kann.

    Danke!
    Mit freundlichen Grüssen

    I do know of a person who is currently active on this site who is in Germany and who can probably help you with your question. I will let her know about your question. I do know how to write and speak a little German, but not to the extent that you are wanting help with in your question.

    It sound good to me. I hope you sent it so that you got it on Friday, if not, it might be there Monday. Good luck dear.

    The only thing I woul have added was the reason i.e. illness - then you would have to provide the appropriate documentation. Again, hope all went well.
