Hmm, I kann Deutsch sprechen, aber nicht so gut. Ich glaube, dass du kann Englisch sprechen nicht so gut auch. Das ist macht Spass!!

How was that? I think the second sentence has some problems...but its still fun to try...

Hehe, you made a commen English to German mistake. Wollen, which in the ich form is will, really means want. So the want to make is the will to power?

Well you just made an even more common English mistake - thinking that each word in English has to have a one-to-one correspondance with a unique word in German. True, Wollen means "to want", but if you look back at the history of english, and for that matter quite a few languages, the verbs for "to wish (for)", "to want" and "to will (as in, will something to happen)" are - understandably - the same word, because when you think about it, all those three verbs are actually saying the same thing. Der Wille means the Will to do something - because Will is just another way of saying want.

And incidentally, Macht in this sense has nothing to do with 'machen'.

krlock: wa machsch denn do i de Zueri? Ich bi au emol doert gsi, abe nur ufs besuech - ich haett i de Schaffhuuser gwohnt. Abe jetz bini wieder z'huus.

No, i did not. The 1st person singular form of wollen is "will", not Wille. Notice also that Wille is capitalized, making it a NOUN. Wille is the noun for "will" and Macht, also a noun, means power in this phrase.
