POETS day  

Yes, I'm really attending school at the moment, 5 days a week 3 hours a day learning German....................... gawd it's heavy going sitting in a classroom with 25 spotty 15 year-olds! But I'm the centre of attraction for being the only pupil with a car! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

They sent you to a school to learn German?!!! Is there not an adult education way of doing it?  

Yes, I'm doing German lessons a couple of evenings a week with a private tutor from the Gothe Institute in Glasgow.......... and very nice she is too! They recommended sitting in on lessons in the local school for a couple of weeks but it isn't the sort of German I need to be able to speak - I need a quicker course than an O-level course so won't be going back after this week. I need conversational German with ability to read German legal documents.......... I'm learning more with 6 hours private tuition a week than in 3 hours a day at a school.

The problem for me S is that with my job I cannot start at the beginning of a structured evening class session in a school/ further education centre and see it right through to the end, I have 8 weeks of leave that I have to complete it all in and it is hard work I can tell you! Going back to school at 50 isn't recommended! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

I can imagine mate.... I thought they might have put you through a "bootcamp" course. When I worked for a management consultancy, they used to fire consultants off all around the world and sometimes places where the client didn't speak English. They had this setup where they'd push you through these intensive courses of the languages you needed to gain a grasp of - they had an external company do it, forget what they were called. Are you finding it easy to get on with? I found German a lot easier to learn than French, for example. 

German is a lot easier than French, just pronouncing some of those mega long words can be a problem............... makes you realise what a lazy language English is.
Phrases like Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung and Kommanditgesellschaft (which I have finally found out is what I work for!) are much easier to say in English! And I haven't yet found the characterset for the forum that has umlats in it! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

You get your fill of accented characters from the charmap utility - just go Start/Run/charmap and bingo.

 

Yes you will find with German that they just join up 2 or 3 words just to make 1, good luck  Speed Limits! not where I live!

Quote:

Words as long as this are nowhere near common in German. When the law was proposed in the state parliament, the members reacted with laughter and the responsible minister Till Backhaus apologized for the “possibly excessive length.” In 1999, the German Language Society nominated Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz for its Word of the Year award, but it lost to Millennium.

But do you know what it means, and you can't use babel fish, i don't think it would handle it anyway. Speed Limits! not where I live!

I did try it in Google Translate but it came out with some of the usual gibberish... that Wikipedia page said something about it being to do with Beef Labelling or something equally exciting
