Greetings once again from gray and damp Deutschland. The sun has not shone here for weeks, and it's starting to get on my nerves just a little bit. The air is thick and humid, and my hair has actually started taking a bit of curl. A couple days ago on the radio the weather guy said we're supposed to have showers for the next few days, and in between the showers, we'll have a little rain. At least they try to have a sense of humor about it.
Ready for a little more fun with German? Okay, here goes...
Many of the words in German are so similar to English that one can figure them out with no problem (e.g. Foto, plus, minus, skandal, slogan, etc...), but there are some funny exceptions. "Gift" in German, for example, means "poison," and "sinnvoll", pronounced like our "sinful", means "sensible," or "meaningful."
I got to see two little baby goats being bottle fed yesterday, which was pretty dang sweet. Billy goats on the other hand...not really so sweet.
I have a big test in my class today. Wish me luck!
My best to you all.
