RE: Unpopular Opinion: I like Angela Merkel

But if you were into S&M you would have known it is huge here.

I know Germany is liberal about a lot of things that the U.S. can still be quite prudish about.
yeah, its just a different society. As long as you are foresightful in your actions, ie not randomly talk to loud. Sure you can have a laugh, but actually one of the major things I see Germans get annoyed about (especially when it comes to foreigners) when they are talking really loud with each other in their own language.
If your are sitting in the train at 2:00 am on a weekend completly hammered with your friends (almost) everything goes. People know they are in for a ride when they enter the train at this time.
Heh, I don't drink alcohol. My mind is pretty weird as it is. I don't actually need any chemical assistance in making it weirder. :) I am never at a loss for something to talk about. :)
As to talking... I took 3 classes of German in High School which is nearing 30 years ago. I haven't really spoken it since, but I am one of those that if I spent much time around it I'd pick it up fairly quickly.
I haven't spoken or read any of it myself in so long that I wouldn't even attempt it now, but I seem to be okay with picking up languages if I am exposed to them enough.
I also like German. I took a class of French in College and that language drove me insane. All of the silent letters annoyed me. We have some in English, but the French took silent letters you write but don't actually pronounce to a whole new level. That drove me crazy. :)
Are you just asking me to make a German language course on Steemit? I would be happy to.
I almost had to repeat a whole year of classes because of french.. its a major subject in German highschool, either french or latin. I regret not taking latin everyday...
Latin was never a choice anywhere I went. I would have gone for that. Some people might go for a German course. I cannot say. German structurally made sense, and it is clearly one of the languages that English is derived from (among several).
German definitely makes more sense than English in many ways. Why do I have to write "German, I and English" with a capital letter, english and german are adjectives. I always thought about integrating some german grammar in my english. I also love that we write all our Nouns with a Capital Letter, helps reading a Sentence, in my honest Opinion.
articles are a bitch tho. We Germans can feel the right article for each word, it is bound to the word in our minds in some weird way. That is tough to teach :D
Well German and English can be a Noun or an Adjective. Generally when accompanying another word it is an adjective though, and I still lower case them myself in those times and spell checker and grammar checker start screaming at me. So when it is and adjective I can see it being lower case and I don't know why they do it that way other than whomever made that decision was stubborn and forced it upon everyone.
People make a very big deal about what is PROPER.
It's kind of silly since the ultimate goal is communication. If I know what you were trying to say then honestly I could care less where you put your commas, periods, and what letters you do or do not capitalize. Honestly, I don't care how you spell things either as long as I know what you were trying to say.
well, you already saw what happens if my brain brain goes wild, i start sentence even not read and. Then come back think "What wrote did"?
stuff like that happens to me in german as well tho. Even when talking :D
