Hallo, Team!

Yes, at times, unfortunately, I have ńot been mistaken for " SPEEĐY GONZALEZ" ( a popular cartoon character) !

Therefore, I have used, " Entschuldigung, dass ich spaet dran bin."

Bis spaeter,

♥Joe B.🗽😊

Hi Joe,

Congratulations! You understand something that many

Germans struggle with every day - the difference between

"das" and "dass". You are right. It should be "dass" in the

sentence above.👍

To your second question: Our headquarters are in Tokyo.

Keep studying German, or in good Japanese: Gambatte!😉

Thank you.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,

I'm posting at 11.39 and where I live, Malta, we're one hour ahead of GMT.

My previous post shows that you are 9 hours ahead of Malta, ie GMT +10.

It can't be Europe nor the US.

So where are you?
