Target language: English

Hi Franzi,
I hope you had lessons in English or in German today. What else have you been doing? I had a fabulous occupation today. You are allowed three guesses... I wonder if you can find out what it was. Nothing is going on here. It is boring without you. Give my greetings to Deimante and her parents. Did the hosts like the gifts? Mum and Dad hope you keep having a good time. Also love from grandma Mariechen.

Hi Minny,

There are some weird lines here, let's try to make it more natural in English...

I think "I trust you had..." could be: "I hope/think/imagine/believe..."
undertaken ---> been doing
legendary?
You can guess three times ---> You have three chances to guess...
Remember me ---> Give my greetings/best wishes
Were the gifts for the horsts well taken?
Have a good time further on ---> Keep enjoying/having a good time
papa and mamma ---> mum and dad

Hi,
I have changed the text according to you suggestions.
For "sagenhafte Beschäftigung" I do not find better words than "legendary occupation".

Perhaps Italo or iamfromaustria can help us with that adjective.

Guys?

My suggestions:

storming activity
fabulous activity/work/job etc

It must sound a bit ironical.

P.S. hoffen ≠ to believe, but to hope

"Fabulous" or maybe "terrific" sounds best to me.

And what about the rest? Is everything correct?

Yes, except from a minor change I would make: It's not "English and German lessons" but "lessons in English and German".

Do you mean that the classes are given in English and in German?

Yep, the language the classes are held in, are English and German. Not the subjects.

dreimal darfst du raten = <you are allowed three guesses>
"Viel Spaß weiterhin wünschen Papa und Mama" =<furthermore, Mum and Dad hope you have fun.>
Viele Grüße, maybe better as <many greetings>
Really only issue 2, where one sentence was broken up into 2 and the meaning was why I voted "could be improved".
