Angelika's German Tuition & Translation
German for all abilities, private and business
When people decide to learn German, they often feel quite apprehensive about learning all those new words, phrases and grammar. If you feel the same, then let me show you some interesting German words.I am talking about the good, the not bad, and the ugly German words.
Part 1 – the Good:
You will be pleased to know that there are many German words you already know because they are exactly the same as in English. Some may be pronounced slightly different but if you read them, you’ll recognise them straight away.
