Well, responding to shit is fairly simple. A simple "Eww!" will suffice.
Translating shit is not hard either. It's "scheisse" in german.

You should consider not using the word shit in almost every sentence.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[You appear to have two different problems at hands:

1. Youre thinking in German, and trying to speak English, so basically translating every single thought of yours. To get over that, use English in every fucking occasion possible. When you start thinking in English subconsciously, you've done it. when you are at the point where your brain doesnt care whether your thoughts are English or German, you'll be able to maincall properly in English. and do everything else in English.

2. Maincalls is something that's kinda hard to mentor because it is so incredibly different from individual to individual and team to team. What external mentors can give you is feedback on your actual decision making, or rather the results of your decisions and helping you to make the right decisions in some random theoretical situation. But calling is much more than decision making, its leading a group of people. You need to get together with your team to improve your calling.
Ask them what they wish for from you, what they like and what they hate about your way of handling things. Main calling ist basically social engineering coupled with gamesense and a basic vocabulary.
If you work on your social skills main calling will come natural to you, in any language. Nontheless it may be that you are just not made to main call. Don't tryhard too much, but try to delegate calling when needed.

Add me if you want to discuss stuff in more detail. English or German. ;)]]></description>

		<blockquote>So you're saying that you don't actually need a maincalling mentor, but just someone to teach you English?</blockquote>

No. I speak english in a way everyone understands but it takes too long to translate my thoughts. That´s my main problem and i know that I just have to practice that.
I´m saying that I want to get an english maincalling mentor to learn maincalling better. 
And I think learning from an english guy is way better than from a german one.]]></description>

I see what you did there :D

But yeah, Ash is right; just call things in Germlish if you must, so long as you get your point across it's fine.

Bear in mind you can't magically learn English from a 'mentor' - you learn a language by speaking it. It takes time.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Your problem is the language, not the calling itself.

Get yourself and your team a set of pre-defined calls so you dont need to start explaining calls midgame and therefore avoid having to 'translate' your thoughts midgame.

also, dont afraid to speak gibberish. people will mostly understand you anyways.]]></description>
