1. Good stuff
Do you want help, sympathy, or horror stories that will make your stuff look good in comparison? I've got all three on hand... Viel Gluck! :hug:

7. comments on some of the words
Haupt=main; etymologically same word as 'head'

Stadt=city

der Arzt= doctor......Tier=animal;Kinder=children;Zahn=toothAuge=eye

therefore

--der Tierarzt..............animal doctor (veterinarian)

--der Kinderarzt............chilren's doctor (pediatrician)

--der Zahnarzt..............tooth doctor (dentist)

--der Augenarzt.............eye doctor (ophthalmologist)

8. Mark Twain wrote an essay entitled
"The Awful German Language". Personally, I would suggest anyone taking a German class locate a copy and read it. It's approximately eight pages long, accurate, and humurous.
