Hi Charlé,
Just noticed a couple of errors in your sentences.
18 should be “Alles Gute zum Geburtstag”
In 33 it should be “Keine Ahnung “
Sorry to be picky, but it’s important to get these things right.
No worries, I appreciate that you told me. These are terrible mistakes.
Don’t be too hard on yourself! FAIL – first attempt in learning! Great job – thank you und Dankeschön 🙂

Ich habe mich verloren.
Not verlaufen
It certainly is “verlaufen”
Ich habe mich verlaufen – I got lost
Sorry, but this correction is completely wrong. “I’m lost” is “Ich habe mich verlaufen”, not “ich habe mich verloren”. The latter means “I’ve lost myself”.

I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about.
