Simple learning is always the best - says me as the Head of Learning for a large company!
So here's a simple way to learn a few words of German:
Have http://pagewizz.com/ and http://wizzley.com/ open side by side or in two browser tabs and compare the two:
Topics = Themen

That's actually a brilliant idea, Paul. Most of our translations compare closely to the meaning of the words or sentences. Only a few things have been adjusted to more common uses in their respective countries.

chefkeem: 02. Jun 2011, 11:21 Thank you kindly :-) I always like simple approaches! I had to good fortune (although I didn't think it at the time!) to learn Latin at school and that has stood me in very good stead with many European languages including English |

Google's got it right. This time. :) I've studied Latin---or was supposed to, at least---for 6 years in German High School. Hated it. Now it comes in handy with all the Spanish-speaking folks in Texas. Achim "Chef Keem" Thiemermann is the co-founder of a pretty cool new platform called...um...er...oh, yeah - Wizzley.com.

Achim - something else we have in common - I studied Latin for 6 years too (and even studied theology in Latin, heaven forbid!). I've always wondered why I have an attraction to the Spanish language (over and above my exposure during our bilingual Congress in Catagena, Colombia).

I could never get the hang of German. I think it had to do with having to put the verb at the end of the sentence. So I got a degree in French instead Step back to the 1970s with the Seventies Music Archives.

That's excellent that you want to learn German, having learnt a little already. The only thing that threw Google Translate was the "veggies" LOL - I think you meant vergesse |

Oh that's so funny! I've turned into the character in 'Allo Allo' who thought he was speaking fluent French and all the time was saying the wrong thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DrAp5gzdqc&feature=related Time to go study.
